It is sad that the subjects of predestination and election are a stumbling block for many believers.
1 An average sump pump (pedestal or submersible) for a typical home runs about $100-$300 depending on the horsepower, materials (plastic is less expensive than cast iron or stainless steel), flow rate and the height the water needs to be lifted to discharge it. A submersible sump pump costs more and only lasts 5-15 years, but is typically quieter and less obtrusive than a pedestal model. 2  Both types of sump pumps range in horsepower from a quarter to 1HP; a 1/3HP sump pump is standard for most homes.
Buying a sump pump can cost anywhere from $100 to $1000. The cost discrepancy lies with the type of sump pump you get and the horsepower you need. They range from Â¼ horsepower to 1 horsepower motors. Most average homes can make do with Â½ horsepower. A typical plastic Â½ horsepower model will cost $100 to $200. The sturdier stainless steel or brass units cost more, but will last much longer and are designed for constant use. A heavy duty steel sump pump with Â½ horsepower will run from $300 to $500. Installation costs for a pedestal model are very low, since a sump basin is not needed. Labor costs for this unit will rest on how you intend to discharge the water, but will typically not rise above $1000 for professional installation.
