Well Pump Cost Considerations
There are many things to consider when you are planning your well pump installation or replacement project. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Methods Used to Prepare Well Pump Replacement Cost Estimates
When installing or replacing a well pump, it’s likely you will receive a fixed fee quote for the whole job. The well pump company will help you determine what type of pump will work best and how deep you may need it to be installed. They will then give you a cost estimate based on your selections.

Reasons for Well Pump Prices Variances
Well pump services use a combination of methods to evaluate and price projects. They take several factors into consideration that impact the cost of the project, including:
-
Depth. Depth is the primary cost consideration. Deeper wells may be more labor-intensive (and expensive) to deal with than shallower ones.
-
Type of pump. Certain types of pumps, such as submersible pumps, are more typically expensive than pumps like jet pumps. This can have an impact on the cost of the installation or replacement.
-
Piping and wiring. You may need to replace old piping and electrical wiring when you replace your old pump, which may come at an additional cost.
-
Pressure Tank. Sometimes replacing just the well pump will not fix the problems and the pressure tank will need to be replaced. This will significantly increase the cost of the project.
-
Geography. If you are in a high-cost area or in an area that is difficult to reach (more travel time), then costs will generally be higher.
