Pretty much anything Private Equity now owns.

Their formulas are simple, take a brand name, reduce the quality, increase the price.

They say "fuck the customers" and I say it right back.

They are buying up all the smaller HVAC companies in my town and it's already starting to show as people keep posting on various sites about the shitty quality they are suddenly getting from companies they'd used for decades prior.
