I need to get this done at a new location in WA. This was a quote from my first electrician. The outlets are installed within 10-15 feet from the breaker box. Electrician provides conduits, wiring, breakers and labor. I bought the outlets and outlet boxes myself

Job Description: $7,350.00 + sales tax = $8000

Provide labor and materials to install (10) dedicated 50 amp circuits to the upstairs space from the
panel to dedicated outlets. All work will be in 3/4 inch and 1/2 EMT surface mounted to the sheet
rock. Owner will provide the outlets.

has anyone done something similar at this price ? or should i continue shopping around ? $8000 seems a tad high considering parts would not even reach $500

Thanks!!

No, I am an electrician and charge 120 an hour, thats way to much.

That sounds super high. Especially if the panel is already in place and they are just going straight up.

I would bring in a few different electricians and get quotes from them.

Also you should ask for an itemized break down in the quote so you can at least keep them a little honest.

yes, panel is already in place. Just installing breakers, wiring, conduits and outlets, will ask for a breakdown

heres a pic of the space, outlets are just going to be installed right outside the small breaker box room
