Default Ball park cost for breaker box replacement


"Edwin Pawlowski" wrote

I paid just over $200 (I think it was $220) for a new service, breaker
box, breakers, 3 way switch added to a basement light, and a new outside
light and switch, an additional receptacle right on the panel. .

I just had some work done by an electrician friend of mine at my cabin. He
put in eight exterior four plug receptacles, four switches with runs to
exterior lights, mounted the conduit and boxes for two motion halogen
lights, and put a light and switch in the under the stairs closet.

I had to buy the Romex. He brought all the conduit and boxes and
weatherproof covers and various stuff from his work for all the rest. I had
to buy the two $50 halogen motion lights. I had to buy him two cases of
beer, and let him stay in the cabin for three days.

Do you think I got taken?

Oh, I also bought him a Remington 870 synthetic stock 12 ga. shotgun.
