“I run five trucks right now,” Butler said. He is the owner and general manager of Affordable Comfort A/C and Heating. “In the last seven days, we’ve done 63 calls.”
“I do leave my truck running quite a bit, a little more than I’d like to in the summer time so I can jump right into an A/C truck,” Butler told ABC15. “I try to carry some water and Gatorade to keep cool.” “In the wintertime, they don’t feel like that at all, but in the summertime is [when] they’ve got the time, cause they’re out of school, they have stuff going on they have friends going to the lake and I have to sit here like, ‘Well maybe next week we can,” Butler said.
