Today, June 22, is National HVAC Technician Day! Here at Nebrasky, we are grateful every day for the incredible and hardworking technicians on our staff, but even more grateful the past couple years because of their resilience and consistent quality service during challenging times. Maintaining a comfortable temperature in our homes is a luxury we don’t often think about until we have to. HVAC technicians work to keep us comfortable and safe on a daily basis, so show your technicians a little extra love!
