Is $18,000 to install an electric pool heater a fair price?
Project Details
I just received a bid from a company to install an electric pool heater. The total bid was $18,000, which included electrical, plumbing, and a $1,000 permit. I am questioning if this price, particularly the permit cost, seems reasonable.
