In some towns in my area, the permit and inspection fees alone can run as
much as $200 for a service upgrade


I had my service upgraded to 100A, had an outside light put in (I supplied
the fixture) , had two receptacles added, had a light switch made into a 3
way and labor and material was only $200. This was all done by a licensed
electrician.
