Has anyone had a plumber replace the pressure reducer on the incoming water line? If so, how much did it cost. I am just trying to see how much I was over charged. Got the part (probably less than $40) instaled in about 30 or 40 minutes and paid $429.90 with the tax.
Hmmmm. Let's see.
$429.90 -40.00 MTL (Valve) -40.00 100% MarkUp -30.00 Misc Mtls -75.00 Serv Call _______________
=244.90 LABOR
40/60 = .667 HR 244.90/.667 = $367.16 per hour.Jim
and I bet it was the ONLY PLUMBER IN TOWN........
Call up a plumbing supply company and ask them the cost of a pressure reducer. I think it costs a little more than $40.00.
$37.67 for a Watts 3/4" PRV
OP was real close at $40 and I'll stand by my calcs:
$429.90 -40.00 MTL (Valve) -40.00 100% MarkUp -30.00 Misc Mtls -75.00 Serv Call _______________
