Got a quote of 800 to install a new 240v outlet for a water heater.
I'd read around and was expecting something in the 200-300 dollar range more or less. This guy hasn't seen the home or asked a single question so he's probably one of those guys that puts in crazy high bids because he doesn't want the work, but if you'll pay his price he'll go out and do it.
Assuming the panel has space and the service can handle it. The home is about 750 square feet, the panel is on the front right side and the outlet needs to be in the rear right side. The home is 25x30. The water heater says it needs 10 gauge wiring on a 30 amp circuit. The crawl space underneath is high enough to get under and crawl around pretty easily.
Any thoughts in general on how much something like this should cost?
