Default electrician, breaker and amps question regarding cost...

I'm not 100% up on conduit.. but by conduit, i'm assuming you mean
cable ran inside a shielded tube essentially.. as of now this is how
it is, with the 30amp wiring from a year ago.. so it would be conduit
again i assume.


Conduit is a metal or plastic pipe through which the wiring is run.

The $260 breaker sounds more realistic.. so $260 + $130 wire... $390
total, plus $100 per hour labor.. assume 2 hours max.. thats still
$590, not $1100.. but perhaps the conduit is pricey too..


Conduit is cheap. Fishing it through walls takes way more than 2
hours. You're paying for 1/2 day of labor for 2 people...
