Bidding Wars….
It pays to get several bids on any type of work you need to have done!
The last electrician we talked to was indeed the last electrician we talked to… He was $1600.00 cheaper than the one before him, and he was able to answer all of our questions without hesitation.
Sixteen hundred dollars? What were they wiring, the entire yard with outlets every five feet? Maybe they needed to run it up and down a few trees while they were at it….
This is not a big job, it does include changing the service from a 100 amp to a 200 amp service, including the mast and weather-head, connecting to the main panel on the other side of the wall, and installing two circuits for the new heating and cooling unit in a new panel on the outside of the house.
Needless to say, we will not be paying the other electricians overhead this month.
