i had a guy come and check my cooling system.he was friendly and seemed to know what he was talking about.he checked the system and said what he thought was wrong.i luckly asked a lot of questions/watched what he did.he got it working with a little capacitor and it worked but made a squeel.he said the squeel was a high dollar item and i was better off buying another unit for $4000-$5000.i asked for a quote on everything and while he was doing the quote i went in and looked on my computer,i found the one part that ended up being the problem for 50 times cheaper.when i went outside again i overheard him talking to someone about something like ""alright ill try and convice him he needs a new system"".the next day i found the part(capacitor)at a local store fixed the problem.the squeel came from the fan needing oil,his quote for a fan was 5 times as much as one costs and both fixes are easy.its obvious they prey on people who really need to cool their house and do not know much about hvac.
Pros: none that i seen.
Cons: lies,veryy high prices,just like a mechanic saying things are wrong that are not just to con you.
