HVAC guy rant

Ok, how can a company come out and spend no more than 10 minutes at my house and accurately determine my needs for a new central air unit? The guy didn't bother to ask anything about how many square feet or check the number of supplies/returns the new unit would be feeding. All he did was spend about 5 minutes in my attic looking at the ducting and electric furnace that was installed in January and didn't even bother to check out either end of the 2nd floor.

I'll bet money this guy comes in at half the price compared to the guy who spent 30+ minutes out here yesterday evaluating all of the attic access areas to run all of the necessary lines and took an inventory of all the parts he'll need.
