This works out to about $1,200/hour for labour so I know we got screwed, but I'm wondering how badly. What is the usual charge for this work?

You can try sending an email but I am sure with this cold snap he is also crazy busy.
I have had my heat exchanger on my 2000 model year Bryant furnace back in 18??. If I recall correctly, the labour component was $700. It was a 5-6/7 hour job. It's a big job from what I know from speaking with multiple heating experts, ATCO Gas inspectors more.
Heat exchangers are not cheap and have gone up in costs significantly in recent years.
Sorry about the bad luck and the costs. It's just such an awful feeling but know you did the right thing in getting it fixed. Far too often people will mess around with heat and with the cold snap, frozen and busted pipes are can be a disaster.
