Sounds like a good way to calculate the mark up.

Thing is, that HVAC companies have a lot of expenses that don't get
itemized
in the bill. Gasoline, insurance, wages, etc. It's not like you walk into
the store and ask the butcher for a pound of R-22 and slice it thin. We
come
to you, in a gasoline drinking van full of heavy tools.


I hope you're not being serious. I found one place that will send 30lbs R22
to my house for $198. I'm new to this type of A/C being from the SW but I
learn quickly. I'll be damned If I'll ever pay that kind of mark up again.
That company is going to have to explain what the hell is going on. The tech
told me the prices are going through the roof for R22. Sounds like he
exaggerated to me.
