My work often requires what in the industry is called “rigging.”

Yeah, this is going to be the most expensive part of OP’s new stove, especially if it’s being picked through a window and will occlude traffic, which requires a police detail. A “cheap” “pick” (generally what the action of lifting the equipment is called) can be $2,500, at least in the construction industry, but truth be told, that would be to place a condenser unit on a rooftop with adequate access. And even then, if I got that back as a quote, I’d be surprised at the economy of it.

I’m doing a project right now that requires placing ~130k lbs of equipment on a roof in Boston, ~60’ up in the air. There’s plenty of space, no police detail required, and it’s an easy “pick.”

$70k.

Good luck OP lol
