I have some friends who have recently gotten OUT of that business b/c it is a big pain in the butt. Like John said, you'll have people constantly calling you all the time!

If you do start that business, I'd charge more for the service. $100 less the $30 remote wouldn't be enough to cover the trouble for me. Also, you need to think about being bonded in case you get electricuted in someone's house.

If I were doing that, I'd see what the market could bear. I'd probably start off when someone calls by asking them what kind of equipment they have, and then price them based on how intelligent, or irritating they sound, and what kind of system they have.

Good luck,

B
