> If you offer someone with the expectation they can't say no, that is in fact predatory.

A property would be assessed at a lower value if it didn't have any HVAC appliances installed in it. Since most properties start with such appliances, replacing them or upgrading them to similar, or even more efficient models, is likely considered a nominal effect on property value, i.e. an act of sustaining the properties existing value.

I would rather pick up these types of supplies while getting groceries, but for some products Amazon is cheaper.
