So, how many single visits will it take at $30 each to pay for the 50k+ investment plus the added costs of electricity, extra sqftage, buildout, expensive bulb changes, and maintenance to break even? |
For me it took 18 months but my investment was just a little over 40k and I only charge $28 for a single visit. That was 10 years ago, Cost over the last 8.5 years for lamps and maintenance, has avg. about $2500 a year. Only major repairs I have had to do in 10 years replaced 2 lift motors and rebuilt lift system.
