You know, that sounds like a fun job. Sad, that you havn't found
honest HVAC companies. I'm not sure about my part of the world. I did
see a video years ago. A news team had a HVAC system disabled (remove
one wire nut from the contactor wire). And then called different
companies to come out and look. One cut a wire on the contactor coil,
even. I think one of the companies they called noticed the loose wire,
and fixed it inexpensively.

I design pyrotechnic effects for the stage trade, sell them to people
who
ASK for them, and do NOT bilk people by telling them the effect they
bought for $60.00 two years ago needs to be replaced by a $6,000.00
"new
technology" replacement, or their family will die from CO poisoning.

Instead, if the effect they bought doesn't work right, I replace it
for
free -- including shipping.

And y'know what? Nobody who's ever dealt with our company thinks
we're
dishonest -- not even the ones who don't prefer ours over another
brand.
Why? 1) We've never, ever cheated anyone. 2) We bend over backwards
to
save our customers money, instead of pushing more and more stuff down
their throats. The result is, the sales we might have "lost" by not
pushing hard, we gain back in new business by happy referrals.

I can't even think five times when an HVAC guy actually fixed
something
that I was happy about it. They overcharge, they seldom fix the
problem
on the first try, and always say "the other part won't be in 'til next
Tuesday", they have a cartel/monopoly subsidized by our government,
and
they mostly don't know what they're doing.

Now... How are you crooks?

First of all, I can't speak to whether or not you personally are one.
But the company you keep paints you with a broad brush. MOST of the
HVAC
"repair" companies in Central Florida have so many black marks against
them with BBB, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and various
"investigative journalists" that it's as likely to find an honest one
as
to win the lottery.

They even go so far as to sabotage units so they can declare them junk
and coerce the customer into a replacement.

THAT's how "you" are crooks. I never said, "All reefer guys are
crooks."
