In November I had the electrical company who has always done the work at my place come over to replace the light fixtures.

The first time around the bill was for $569.20 for a total of 5.5 hrs. but with 2 workers (not apprentice apparently).

I just now got the second bill for the second phase. It's for a total of 11 hrs. divided evently between the journeyman and what looks like an apprentice electrician. The total is $962.50.

To put it bluntly, I'm numb over this bill. And of course they want their money in a weeks time and will give me a paltry discout if I pay by then.

Have I had the wool pulled over my eyes? Why does the second charge include the apprentice while there is no mention made of the second electrician who worked at the first phase. Should I mention the bills or would I be better off keeping my mouth shut?
