The HVAC service provider I contract with to do the yearly maintenance on my A/C is overcharging me because I "hacked" my A/C. I kid you not!

The service guy came today because the A/C blows cold on heat setting. He asked me to turn the A/C on to demonstrate the problem. I couldn't find the remote, so I pulled out my Flipper with the Mitsubishi A/C Remote app - which works fine and which I regularly do when I can't be bothered to go get the remote on the wall when I'm on the couch. The thing turned on, blew cold, so the man set to work.
