Service Calls and Omar Khayyam [RE-wrenches]

[Jeffrey Wolfe, Global Resources]

In this part of VT, which might be a little more rural than Kirk in the Big 
City of Burlington,  licensed electricians and licensed plumbers get $35 to 
$40 per hour. On commercial jobs, the larger companies do bill out higher.

We've pushed our rate up to $35 to $40 per hour for service and 
installation, but I don't think there's a lot of room beyond this level.

How much do licensed (non-solar) plumbers and (non PV) electricians get?
