$600 just in labor in the region and manner in which he operates is a bit excessive. A water heater swap is probably the easiest of all plumbing jobs. The buying and disposal of water heaters is a whole separate charge. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t in any way begrudge a man for earning a good living, but $600 for a half hour of midwit level work and hearing him brag about how he fucks people on water heater jobs does not make him a valued member of the community.
Have you ever changed a water heater?
Yes. Yes I have. Quite a few actually. Even the ones that were in those ridiculous fuk’n closets. Hey, if you think it’s worth $600 in labor go ahead, pay the man.
