"The blower motor on my furnace was squeeling, and not working at all most times. When I spun the squirrel cage manually it would work for a short time, but then finally got to the point where it wasnt working at all. Just a hummy noise. When I called them, I left a message and within hours I got a call back. I explained what I thought was wrong and they confirmed that it sounded like a bad blower motor, or to try the starter capacitor first. I got a capacitor first and swapped out, but no luck. Then got in touch with them again and within a hour got a new motor to swap out. He was very easy going and said I could swap it out myself if I wanted and then if I had problems, to call them and they could come out. I attempted the swap, but I could not get the squirrel cage off the old motor. I called them the next day and they came out that same day and finished the work for me using the right tools. Within a hour and a half, I was up and working again and have been working fine ever since. a new blower motor and starting capacitor was changed. I would recommend them in the future to anyone."

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes.
The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use.
Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project.
Some of the most common welding projects include:
Metal furniture repair: $35–$100
Pipe repair: $200–$1,000
Small gates: $550–$750
Fencing: $1,200–$1,800
Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500
Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective.
Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation.
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.
Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.
