15 years ago my Refrigeration mates i used, charged me $600 per Split System (less Electrical)
Then i'd be $300 or so for the Electrical (Dedicated Circuit, Circuit Breaker, Isolation Switch, Conduit where needed and Interconnecting cable and fit off)
I used to be shocked at what the Refrigeration guys would charge, even if it was a "Back to Back install"... Piece of piss for them
Although, all of our installs were complex, multistory, hiding the pipework in walls, hiding the OD unit under the house or under a deck
If you want a price justification, ask a Small Appliance Repair person to justify Travel Time + $30 for 15min blocks|
12 years ago, friends got a Appliance Person out to repair thier dishwasher, he explained his charges before coming, they agreed (Wife agreed).
He got there, spent 45 mins and told them he couldn't fix it, then put his hand out for $175 ..... That was 12 years ago!!!
No Uni, No Trade School, No Licence, No anything.... He wouldn't leave until they paid, he ended up driving the wife to the ATM to get his money
