Yesterday we lost water to the house. A plumber came by, diagnosed the problem as a bad pump. He tested the control panel, power at the well head, and amp draw when the controller kicked on (26 amp draw) concluding that the pump itself was bad. Since I had time to do some research, I had in my head that a 3/4 HP, 10GPM pump in a 400 Ft. well would run about $1200 - $1500....maybe $1800 tops installed. The quote the gentleman just gave me was $885 to pull the old pump, then $3899 for the new one....so figure $4700.
They are going to use the existing control panel and switches.
Am I correct in thinking this is high? I can't even find a pump with those specs for over $800 on line. I'm sure there are, but is that much a difference worth it? I'm in Maryland, but I don't think that should make too much of a difference.
