Hood recertification

We currently use Lab Certification to recertify our hoods twice a year. Last year they charged us (Price removed by Moderator). This year their estimate is (nearly twice the amount from last year). They explain the jump as a new fuel charge and a travel charge. Are there any other companies out there I can look into to get a better price? We are located in Ohio. Thanks

Hannah,

If you are please with your current service, I would recommend addressing the price increases rather than bringing in a new vendor. While fuel and travel increases are common, the duration of such charges as well as the percent increase can be negotiated. Since fuel prices have fallen over the past six months you should not be paying the same price that you paid for the previous six months. Indexing is a great tool that will allow you to work with your current vendor in order to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship.
