OEWS reports what employers pay these workers per hour. A contractor’s bill also covers the business: insurance, licensing, vehicles, tools, office staff, warranty callbacks, unbilled travel time and profit. The wage is a floor for understanding a quote, never a price. You set the multiplier; we publish no typical markup because we have no citable source for one.What else is in a bill for this trade
- Trip or after-hours charges on service calls
- Permit fees for water heaters and repiping in many cities
- Truck stock, haul-away of the old unit and code-required parts (expansion tanks, venting)
