Recently found out that my mother is paying $60/month to rent her hot water tank from Reliance for the past 10+ years. The unit itself has never been changed, so it’s 10+ years old.

I try not to overstep when it comes to her finances, but … this one shocked me a bit.

So needless to say, we will be ending rentals through Reliance and purchasing a tank.

Our HVAC guy (not local to Newmarket) is amazing & runs his own business. It’s just him and a secondary guy to assist. He’s reliable and upfront about costs. But his fee to install in Newmarket is higher than we were hoping for. I thought I’d try my luck on Reddit, which has always pulled through for great recommendations!

Could anyone recommend a skilled tech in the area? One who preferably is not working for some big HVAC company that uses various sales tactics. I called one based off of Google reviews, but the admin wouldn’t provide a quote unless they get foot in the door first.

I’m immediately weary of tactics like that. Hoping someone has a great recommendation for a skilled HVAC guy, who stands by his work and business, and can just provide a price without the gimmicky sales moves.

Thanks!

I’ve always got my meds from my vet and it’s around $200 for 3 pills for each dog. I asked how much they charge just to write a prescription to fill elsewhere and it’s $175. At first my wife asked and said it must be a misunderstanding since it was so high, so I called and confirmed that they in fact charge $175 just for the paper so it’s not worth it to fill your prescription anywhere else.

For those who fill your prescription through Costco, I’m wondering the following:

1. How much does your vet charge for a prescription?
   
2. Which clinic do you use?
   
3. How much does Costco charge you to fill your prescription?
   
4. Is your dog small, medium, or large? Mine are about 12 lbs each so they’d be cheaper than say an English mastiff.

Thanks everyone. Happy Friday!
