Well, that would be the ones who don't work off of commission. I have discovered that in the residential home services industry that plumbers and HVAC guys are really bad with this practice. A $26.00 relay and a $60.00 capacitor kit (if at all bad) and a half hour labor turns into a $2,400.00 job. A toilet fill valve is a $15.00 part and these types of plumbers will charge you $265.00. I'm all for making a profit and for their dispatchers and fleet vehicles with parts stocks, but they are just predatory.
Another tip folks.............Ants are the cause of most central air conditioner failures. They seek condensate and they crawl into your outdoor compressor parts. they get into the dc to ac relay contacts and their little ant bodies cause pitting and arcing on the points. Keep the area sprayed with ant spray or granules.

Thanks or that tip. Will put that on the list...
Although I still chuckle over the service calls to fix inert appliances [mostly dryers] that were totally disassembled by the male householder attempting a repair, when the silly buggers had to only look up at the disconnect to see a glass fuse with a big black spot where the link had popped...
