Depends. I did mine, had to crawl around the attic, drill holes to run electrical wire and tap in, cut a hole in the ceiling for the fan and clean up the edges, run ducting to the roof, cut a whole, put a vent in and seal it up, the clean up the mess. $400 for labour doesn't sound too out of line if that or more is required. They will probably be there for 3 or 4 hours.
If it is just swapping it out, that's a different story.
