Jet Pump Replacement Cost

Jet pumps mount above ground and are the cheapest, most serviceable option — but only physically work to about 25 feet of lift. Fit one with a deep-well ejector kit (a "convertible" jet pump) and that range stretches to roughly 90 feet, at a moderate cost step up. Here's what both run.

By horsepower (at a typical 20 ft depth)

Horsepower	Pump unit	Labor	Total installed
0.5 HP	$150–$300	$250–$500	$400–$800
0.75 HP	$200–$400	$250–$500	$450–$900
1 HP	$275–$550	$250–$500	$525–$1,050

By depth (at 0.75 HP)

Well depth	Pump unit	Labor	Total installed
15 ft	$200–$400	$250–$500	$450–$900
25 ft	$200–$400	$250–$500	$450–$900

What moves the price beyond this table

• Pressure tank — if yours is old or waterlogged, replacing it alongside adds $800–$1,500 but saves a second service call.
• Control box — for 3-wire pumps, a worn or corroded box adds $150–$600 and is worth replacing alongside the pump.
• Well casing diameter and access — a narrow or hard-to-reach wellhead can add labor time not captured in a national average.
• Local labor rates — well contractor rates vary meaningfully by region; these ranges are national.
