Best Lighting Dimmer in Charlotte NC

I contacted IRV plumbing to get an estimate on having a gas line run externally from just after the meter to the fireplace about 8 feet away. The fireplace already had a steel pipe fitted into the brick for the conversion. So this would be a very basic installation for all intents and purposes. The estimate was 4 figures or over $125 per foot of installation. To put that in perspective, we're talking about less than $200 in materials. Tony also estimated the job to take 4 hours. That's about right if he took a nap for 2 billable hours. Thankfully, I stuck to the tried and true mantra of getting three estimates. I contacted the gas company and they will do the work for quite literally half the cost including all inspections. I would tell anyone who is looking to have any work done on a natural gas appliance to contact their gas company first. In the case of IRV plumbing, Tony offered to sign me to their Advantage plan which would get the price down where it should have been to start with. However, the deal was you needed to sign up for $34.99 a month for a minimum of 12 months...or $410...which brought it within $10 of the original estimate. Licensed plumbers overcharge for this type of work and seem to be completely intent on price gouging. This was confirmed by a second estimate from another Charlotte plumbing service. On top of all of that, IRV called me twice a day for a week trying to follow up before I could get a second estimate. They actually filled my voicemail box with their messages. This company may employ the world's finest plumbers, but they will never receive another cent from me. The gas line install was going to be the test for future projects involving hvac, bathroom remodeling...etc. So thanks to IRV for screwing the pooch up front on this estimate so I can spend my money more wisely with a better company on future projects.One final note, they were scheduled to arrive between 1-3PM. Tony showed up at 5 and IRV called me at 2:54 to let me know he was running late. While I understand that things happen on jobs that can throw your whole day off, the same thing happened with the other plumbing company. The PNG contractor was right on time.
