Hi
I just moved to Seattle and we bought a treadmill which we've kept in
the garage. Now the garage has a 15amp circuit but the treadmill
needs a 20 amp one. We asked an electrician to give us a quote to
change from 15 to 20 and he has quoted $600 for the wall closet to
the door and $900 for a wall further.

I am novice at this, could someone tell me what would be a good price
to pay for this?

Thanks
Rashmi


I thought a treadmill worked off people power. I can't imagine why
you would have one that needs a 20A circuit



Only the really cheap ones don't have motors. Mine has a 2 HP DC motor.
It is not a pro model. I have seen them with at least 3.5HP motors (note
these are not the inflated numbers). Using what ever system they use to
come up for advertising use I have seen 6 HP listed.


That just proves that some people will buy almost anything. Jogging
requires no electricity.
