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!!!!!

I hve a couple of buddies with small businesses. And I can tell you one reason labor is so expensive these days is because the government "taxes and fees" them so much on every employee thats the only way they can turn a profit after nonc sam gets his.
