I would like to make consumers aware of the excessive charges FlowRight plumbing company charges. Attached is the bill for replacement of my water heater. I do not have a per hour rate for the labor so all I have is the material costs. I requested part numbers for the items but was told that this was all I was going to get.
Here is a breakdown of the bill from FlowRight with my cost from Pueblo Home Depot
1. Water heater, expansion tank and bracket. His charge is $1,800.
Home Depot retail price
Water heater $560,
expansion tank $134,
bracket $20 Tax
Total from Home Depot $714
Difference $1086
2. Shower cartridge (the most expensive one I could find )$30
His charge $60 Difference $ 30
3. He would not give me part numbers so I guessed on the Kitchen faucet. $60
His charge $233 Difference $173
4. Basket strainer $15 His charge 65 Difference $40 5. 1/4 turn Angle stop $4.50 his charge $26.50
Difference $22
Total difference between H.D. & Flow Right $1321
if we add $200 for the ball valve, flex line, sediment trap and pan the difference in RETAIL parts from Home Depot and his charge is $1121 difference in parts. I would expect him to mark parts some but over 60% seems excessive. I have since got a $300 discount on the bill which is still way too much. Had I not complained the original bill would have stood.
I just want to warren other consumers to STAY AWAY
FROM FLOW RIGHT!!
