Hi Ernie,<br>
Average a plumber and an electrician hourly house call rate in your area.
That I think is fair. The consumer looks at us as the typical
home serviceman. They also use that as a yard stick to judge
the rate.<br>
The average tech in North America is way below those rates. Heck we
have no Union. :-) <br><br>
