1Paradise, Thank you. Actually it is pure greed driven along with the "fear" of the "Code Police" that will get most folks. Duuh sounds like that type of salesman justifying his "costs" but working on a mere 5-7% which we all know is false. It is a shame that people on Marco Island are subject to this but with the internet one can make better choices and get a fair deal.

I am not saying to work for free just be honest and you will have more work than you can handle. If duuh told the whole story most HVAC contractors charge 10% markup on the equipment package then a fair rate for the install. I am fortunate to be able to install my own HVAC and purchase wholesale.

I would not be able to afford "contractor" prices on Marco Island. I feel sorry for people on limited incomes or retired that have to pay out the nose. I show my neighbors how to do many things themselves, help them if needed, and advise pricing to them. I feel it is the least a good neighbor can do.
