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.

$2500.00 sounds to me like they should be holding a gun to your head.
Not knowing particulars I would ball park around 300 to 500 or less
being your furnishing the materials.


That's kind of what I was thinking, that the quote was totally high.
My presumption is that he didn't want my buisness or was just trying
to make sure I knew what I was getting into. Again I'm not bitter
about it, but this is one of those things I need to get done pretty
quick, so I didn't want to go in blind and get taken.




$2500 sounds ridiculous. Of course, he'd gladly accept that if you were
willing to pay it. I'd get 2 more estimates. Then negogiate.
