What you should compare is the $80 with the cost of bringing your well
system back on line. The electric cost just doesn't matter.

Thanks, John.

Yep, I'm afraid to think what it would cost to fix the
pump/controller/whatever.

My first step was just getting an idea of whether it's cheaper *when it is
working*. If that wasn't much of a differenece, then I wouldn't even bother
getting estimates. Since there IS a big difference, I'll at least go to the
next step and see what the damage is.
