If you are willing to share and have any recent first hand experience I would like to know what the going rates are for A/C and refrigeration service work. I will be focusing on commercial work but if the demand exists I may expand my scope of interest.
Thanks!

A one hour refrigerator repair at my house was $190 - plus the part.They did come when they said and did fix it, I wasn't unhappy but it was expensive - travel time to and from the shop is less than 10 min.

A friend of mine does Marine repairs in Seattle, he charges $125/hr. & has 3 workers as he is undercutting his competition, so he is as busy as hell!!!!
What gets me is, he asks me for advise all the time, I was his mentor here(I charge around 1/2 that) & he wants to return here!
I ask him WHY???
Do you really want to make 1/2 as much while paying twice as much for everything???
He misses his parents who still live here.
Dang, he used to make $15/hr. as a maintenance mechanic here 2.5 years ago, though I did take him under my wing & teach him much!
I don`t understand why our labor rates are so low here, while expenses are so much higher!
Though, there are many here who KNOW how to charge!
I thought Reefco was $75/hr. (though they generally throw 2 guys @ the job for $150/hr.
They ARE under new management.
When did the rate increase ?

We haven't used them this season. But I am pretty sure we paid $95 an hour last season on a repair on one of the boats.
