After being told by several people that it was too much money she paid, she did some checking. She could have bought the parts for $66.35 + $2.45 respectfully. What did they charge for the parts and to install.....$466.00 plus $85.00 diagnostic charge. He was there less than 1 hour. So roughly $400 per hour labor, not including diagnostic charges. We all know they are highly trained and charge alot, but does this sound right?

I had a house full of company and the blower fan went out on my AC unit about a month ago. Ray Langley had just done our inspection about a month before the fan went out. We called him late in the afternoon and he worked for two days-part of a weekend-to get a new fan ordered and installed. He got our unit working again and charged us approximately $600.
In my case, I think the price was fair and I was willing to pay it to make my family and friends comfortable during their stay and to keep my home comfortable for my husband and myself. I trust Ray. If I would have to question whether or not someone who I'm paying to do work for me is cheating me or not; I'm afraid I would have to look for someone else to work for me. That's just me.
