You guys see the price of the part and how much per hour you are charged for labor. Well this is what goes in to a service call or better yet what comes out of a service call. The answering service that answered your call at night, insurance, work comp, truck, general liability, unemployment, bonding, licenses office supplies, gas, consumables (wire ,nuts rags screws solder the list goes on and on) wages for office staff, accountants, taxes, shipping, parts inventory that sits on a shelf so we can fix your furnace at 4am, truck payments, truck maintenance, tools, tools that are lost, rent of building I run my shop out of, insurance for my building. Training for technicians’, replacement of parts that are broken lost or damaged by installer, gas to heat my building, electricity, water sewer. The service technicians get paid from the time they get to work till the time they go home not just the time they are at your house. If the part go’s bad we have to warranty the labor on the part, and we will not get reimbursed by the supply house for labor plus if a service tech is on a warranty call he can’t be generating revenue so you pay twice. If I were you I would not use the guy you used to repair my furnace because at the prices he charges he won’t be in business vary long
