I'm calling around for some sort of quotes to replace my failing circuit
breaker box and so far I've only received one estimate.

The price they quoted was about $2500 bucks roughly or $91/hour for their
work - including permit and inspection. No other electricians want to
release their hourly rate nor provide estimates. I'm not bitter about it,
just interested in how much money I'll have to secure to do this.

So if you had to guess, what would it cost to replace a non-grounded
circuit breaker with a grounded circuit breaker IF I SUPPLIED THE BREAKERS
AND THE PANEL.


Old electrician joke: How long does it take and how much will it cost for
an electrician to change a breaker box?

Who cares? You got a problem with that?

Electricians are specialists, and you want to get the job done right. Your
life depends on it.

That being said, what you want done is a royal PITA for an electrician who
can just as easily be out installing the same panel in one quarter the time
on a new install. You just need to get more estimates and take the best, or
find a friend or family member who's qualified for the task and will give
you a break.
