Finding an AC guy without the internet

I am not a very computer savvy person. In fact, I’m one was those grouchy old dudes who don’t “get” technology like other people do. I still have the same flip phone I’ve had for years, which doesn’t have internet and only limited texting. I don’t care enough to upgrade, not because of the cost, because I don’t want that complicated a device. I only use it to order pizza anyway, or to call my pals. A lot of places are doing business online because of the quarantine, and this is a big problem for me. When I needed an AC repair job, I didn’t even think about going online, I went for a phone book to call someone local. It turns out my phone book was out of date, so I called my friend and asked him to recommend a good AC company for me. What did he do? Of course he went right to the internet and Google searched for local HVAC companies. While I was on the phone he clicked through to several different HVAC websites, and gave me some phone numbers for ones that hadn’t closed up for lockdown. I made a few calls, only talked to one live person, and she wasn’t even an HVAC tech she was just answering the phones. I had to wait an hour just for an AC expert to call me back, so we could discuss the problem. I booked an appointment to have them look at my central HVAC system, but even that had a two week wait time!
