What would be a good bid to change a fuse box to a breaker box. Here is the
situation, I am licensed electrician but I work for an electrician and I am
trying to get some sidework of my own. I have changed out panels while
working with the guy before and I know what I am doing. Here is the what the
job would entail. This guy has a 14 circuit fuse panel right next to the
main panel which has a disconnect in the main panel for the fuse box. All I
would have to do is shut off the breaker to the fuse box, disconnect all the
wires, pull out the box and replace with new panel. I asked the guy that I
work for if he would be interested in doing it but he just kinda blew me off
because he is busy with some of the other work we have going on and he takes
evening courses at college so he just acts like he doesn't have the time. I
am asking how to bid the job because when ever he bids jobs he makes sure
that I am not around so I don't hear what he quotes the people so I don't
feel shafted with what he pays me to do the labor. I understand that (it's
his business) but it doesn't help me to figure out what to bid on jobs that
he is not willing to do. Basically in a nutshell how would I bid this job.
Would I do a set price or would I charge by the hour plus material?

Thanks
