I don't know what an electrician might charge: in NY we paid $90 an hour
for car repairs; would it be more anywhere for an electrician? Let's say
$800 for labor -- but I don't know how complex your job is.

In central MA, the electrician I use at work bills $60 an hour. Car repair
shops in the area run abut $50 - $60 an hour.
