Prices include labor and standard equipment. Well depth, access, and existing wiring/plumbing condition can adjust the price — we'll always confirm the exact number before work begins.

Ways to Save

• Test annually — a $75-$150 test catches problems long before they become a $1,500+ repair or a health concern.
• Don't ignore short-cycling — a pump that kicks on and off rapidly is usually a $450-$1,500 tank fix, not a pump replacement, if caught early.
• Know your well's paperwork — if you have the original well log or driller's report, diagnosing problems and sizing new equipment goes faster and costs less.
