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

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..

We are on our 3rd quote now.. waiting on them to come out.. the first
was $1300, then $1000-$1100 (forget exactly).. the 2nd electrician was
basically rude and refused to answer any questions regarding exact
details.


Probably need new conduit; bigger wire and all that. Probably isn't a
straight run either, takes time to bend conduit as well. Makes you
wish you'd known what you needed back when you started.
