Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) A licensed master plumber of the Board shall not charge an excessive price for services. A price is excessive when, after review of the facts, a licensed master plumber of ordinary prudence would be left with a definite and firm conviction that the price is so high as to be manifestly unconscionable or overreaching under the circumstances.

(b) Factors which may be considered in determining whether a price is excessive include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. The time and effort required;

2. The novelty or difficulty of the job;

3. The skill required to perform the job properly;

4. Any special conditions placed upon the performance of the job by the person or entity for which the work is being performed;

5. The experience, reputation and ability of the licensed master plumber to perform the services; and

6. The price customarily charged in the locality for similar services.

(c) Charging an excessive price shall constitute occupational misconduct within the meaning of 45:1-21(e) and may subject the licensed master plumber to disciplinary action.
