"Our A/C was blowing but not cooling, and Stewart's got someone out shortly after I called them. After troubleshooting, they determined the motor and blade of our 30+ year old unit needed to be replaced. Due to the unit's age they would suggest replacement, but their tech thought it may be possible to figure out a match to the now-obsolete parts. They priced each of these options to us--$650 for blade/motor repair, and several options ranging from about $5500-$6500 for total replacement of the A/C unit, with the higher end including an upgrade. We discussed it, and decided upon the highest option--replacement and upgrade. Then we got the call that due to the pandemic, the Amana factory was down, and that would not be possible. Stewart's graciously gave a few suggestions and guidance toward what to ask/look for with other repair places, if we were set on quicker replacement with a premium brand--while also giving us other non-Amana options. (My understanding is they are contractucally obligated to Amana as their premium brand... so another premium brand wasn't an option through them.) Instead, we opted for the motor/blade repair, and to put an order in for an Amana 4 ton unit. We have a history with Stewart's, and they have always treated us extremely well... everything from quick service and making our options easily understood, to being aware of tax rebates and incentives. Price-wise, they are also very competitive. At the end of the day, they were able to find a match to our VERY old motor, plus the tech was even able to re-use our old blade... saving us almost $200. (And yet again, earning our loyalty.)"

Welding questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.
