I have noticed this price hike for quite some time. There is no reason for the factors to put up prices except for greed. eg the soring cost of Refrigerant these days.

It is always best to check the dealer price then ring the factors. I am amazed at Andrew Pages prices are dearer than the dealer on many occasions but when you ask for a better price they either refuse or instantly knock off as much as 20%. That's just looking for the mug in my book. I seem to be spending more and more with the dealers these days.
