“If your air conditioner breaks, get ready for the con artists.  The Arizona Republic reports an HVAC company out of Memphis, Tenn., agreed to a $395,000 settlement with the state of Arizona because they were ripping people off.    This company…was lying about selling equipment and repairs to senior citizens that didn’t need them.
 

This is a long standing problem in the HVAC business…one that’s ripe for con artists.  If you Google or Bing for a local HVAC service, more often than not you’ll see scamsters at the top of the search results page because they use techniques to manipulate the listings so they come up first.”
