 CONSUMERS:- Arborists are a profession, see what others charge!
We have had 2 LG appliance break down at the same time.
1 x 7kg front loader washing machine purchased 2003 $1700
1 x dishwasher purchased 2004 $850
Whilst I'm not getting into the whole sad story of these inferior garbage products I will tell you what it's going to cost to get them fixed as they are both out of warranty now (had 3 year extended warranty)
Call out fee is $77 includes no work or labour.
Labour is charged at $99 per hour, billed at 6 minute intervals, for example 18 minutes would cost you $29.70
Now that's for a guy who works at ground/floor level, doesn't handle one of the worlds most dangerous tools nor need a stack of gear and tow around 2 tonnes of chipper and stump grinders with staff.
------------------------------
Second scenario, plumber came to put camera down pipe to see where it was broken.
Total time on job, 15 minutes.
Bill was $308 and took nothing to the tip and my stump grinder would cost a heck of a lot more than that camera.
-----------------------------
Electrician came to fit external sensor lights as low lives were breaking into my car.
$88 call out and $88 per hour.
