While I agree with what you guys are saying, don't you think it's f ing ridiculous what people charge for labor these days? I get that you can do something I can't but labor costs are out of control. I had a problem with my AC a while back on a weekend of course. I called an AC company (won't mention who) to come check it out. It took him all of 10 minutes to tell me it was the blower motor and charged me $150. Then quoted me right at $1,000 for parts and labor. I said "hell no"! I had him order me the motor and told him I'd figure it out. The motor was $300 and I figured it out and had the old motor out and new motor in in right at an hour. He could have done it in much less time and would have charged me $700 in labor?!? Come on man!!!!!
