The price is almost bang on what I'd expect them to charge. My breakdown if I was quoting it would be:

$187 for the fan (170 + 10% mark up)
2 hour minimum call out @ $120 an hour
1 extra hour @ $120

My estimate would be about $567, if the job is easy and goes smooth you could possibly shave off the extra hour for a super quick swap. If the sparky is climbing in the attic running a new duct then yeah they'll need the extra hour.
