Flat Rate Pricing

At the request of our clients Associated Plumbers Inc. would like you to know that our service division has adopted a new method of pricing service work. It is nationally recognized, and was developed to make sure that you, Our Client could feel in control of a service call from beginning to end. For many years, those in our business have used the"Time & Material" method of pricing service work.

We would tell you that there would be some basic charge of $xx.xx dollars per hour (minimum) plus materials from that point on. One problem with the "Time & Material" method is that some clients are in the unfortunate position of paying more for a given service task than others because the technician on the job is very good, but slower than others. Sometimes poor weather conditions slow down a job, causing you to pay a higher final cost. Or maybe a part needed for your system is not on the truck, and you pay for the time it takes to obtain it. In the past, we had no better way to price service work. But new developments in our industry now make it possible to offer you a better choice: Client Investment Pricing. Associated Plumbers Inc. has accumulated data from past service calls on the proper time to complete thousands of service tasks. This time is based on a fully trained and qualified plumber with the latest diagnostic tools arriving at you home or business.

We now employ a dispatch fee to arrive at your home or business. The use of the dispatch fee allows use to keep cost of repairs down. The plumber will give you a firm up-front price for the repair or if further investigation is required, once you give approval of the price for the repair that is the cost you will pay, unless additional unforeseen repair are required. The dispatch fee will be waived if repairs are made at the time of the quote. This price will include everything all labor, parts, miscellaneous materials, and parts acquisition time, if any. Using this quoted service pricing method there are no longer any big surprises at the end of the job. After all, it is just as discouraging for us as for you when the repair bill grows so large that you might have considered replacing your old equipment before spending so much to fix it. With Flat Rate Pricing, you can be in control of the service cost every step of the way.

To determine if your present plumber charges by the job or hour is give them a call. If they quote you a price by the hour. Tell them NO thank you and give us a call we think you will be pleasantly surprised at the service you will recieve.

Associated Plumbers Inc. only installs products and superior quality replacement parts that we know are going to last. Please let us know your comments concerning Flat Rate Pricing and any other areas in which we can be of service. No matter how small the displeasure or how minor the irritation; we want to know when you are not happy with our service. Your satisfaction is our highest priority.
