So the plumbing crew in town here quoted me $3800 to install a medium efficiency Lennox furnace in my office. I talked to a friend of mine who is "almost" a journeyman and he figures the furnaces costs about $2000. This means the 'labour' is roughly $1800. He told me it takes roughly 1 hour to
1.5 hours to install the furnace and remove the old one.Does this mean they are charging me over $1000/hour labour?
I looked all over the internet trying to find the cost of a furnace. Everything is hush-hush. There are no prices that I can find. The estimate is vague at best. It is not broken down into part and labour. It is just a fixed fee.
Does anyone have any information that could help me on this? My friend can't order furnaces yet.
