Re: What was it paying when you started.


I left as a contract installer about 3 years ago.

When I started:

Outlets:  $7.00 ea
Digi-box: $20.00 (but that outlet install was part of it) ...additional boxes were $12.00
HSI: $25.00
Phone:  $35.00
Hang a Drop: $15.00

So a Triple-Play install with 4-outlets paid $116.00 ... I was doing anywhere from 4 to 5 of those a day easily.  Heaviest day ..I did 8 of those.  Juicy day

When I left:
Outlets: $5.25
Digi-box $12.00 ...additional $5.00
HSI: $15.00
Phone:  $20.00   (if the emta was doing both phone and HSI then all u got was the PHone +$5.00 for hsi)
Hang a Drop $8.00

Same Triple-Play install:  $60.75 .... And you were lucky if you saw 2 a day.

When I left, most work orders were HSI only upgrades ...or ... add an outlet 'cause Johnny got a TV in his room $15.00 ...even if it was a post-wire 3/4 way around the house.

So yea ...Good Luck to the brave who attempt to be an installer now.
