I don't agree. Paying $479 for 10 minutes of work to clear a condensate drain line is overpricing.

But, my main issue is with a company who charges $129 to come to your house and provide a quote, with no obligation to do any work. The person who provides the quote doesn't even need to be a licensed technician. They are just coming to estimate the project. I would never pay for a quote. A quote should be free. There is a difference between sending a licensed technician on a service call to diagnose and possibly fix a problem, and sending someone to estimate the job and provide a quote. I will pay for a service call, but not for a quote.
