Yeah, OK... Are you saying it should be that many billed hours, or that's what you paid?

EPP's pricing quote is about average. Charged labor time is usually around 5-6 hours.

Anywhere from 200-300 for labor depending on who does the install and how long

5-6 hours book time... 1.5-3.0 hours reality (depending on whos doing the install and their experience).

$175-200 bench labor or $250-300 on the rack.
