Ed, that still doesn't scratch what I would have charged, but hey, as the
poster said he accuses all of us HVAC guys as being thieves. Heck if what
we are is thieves whazt he heck is McDonalds with 4 times the Mark-up on
material as HVAC contractors. I truly resent the remark as all of us being
thieves. Beeper you can contact me off group if you would like a list of
all of our costs and overhead.

How long did it take you to install? What do you make per hour at work?
How much does it cost your employer to employ you? How much are your
unemployment and workmans comp rates, how much is you business insurance,
how much are your licenses and permits, how many trucks do you have to keep
ion good shape and operational, uniforms, tools, bad debts, what kind of
profit margin (after taxes) do you think we really make, what standard of
living do you think we deserve.

At 30 $ an hour, that alone would have ran me $1000.


That's cheap. Most would charge $50 an hour.
