Stretch,
Sorry bud but No freakin way. You have another company or something
subsidizing your ridiculously low prices. $54 to replace a contactor??
I used to charge that about 12 years ago and Im NOT kidding. No way
would your business survive with that kind of pricing.

I'll have to second that.

Maybe 10 or 12 years ago we charged that. Our company is cheap and we sell
our regular Honeywell 2-pole contactor for about $32 and we have a
standard
service call of $109 an hour. No more 1/2 hour rates. How in the world
would
you ever pay your bills with a $54 charge? You must be a "loner" (1 man
company) that can afford to do that.

We don't charge trip charge either....


How much of your overhead is a function of where you
live, though?


What exactly do you mean?
