I had my basement done and I received a bill from the electrician in
the amount of $3150.00. $2400 being labor. My wife said that he was at
the job only about 10 to 14 hours. Do you think that is a good rate.
He won't show on his invoice how many hours he worked?

He said he did not want people to know what he is charging?

Hmmm,
Compared to auto dealer's flat rate like 90.00 per hour, my rule of
thumb is from total amount usually halfs is labour. Maybe he charged
travel time as well.(coming and going picking up material, etc.)
My rate is 2 hour minimu 250.00/hr plus T&L. I am retired now.
Wiring a basement, I do it myself after getting DIY permit from city
hall which includes two inspections, so it'll qualify for insurance
coverage.
