Question about cost

[Cheri]

An electrician came by today and gave me an estimate for replacing a range hood which I purchased, (same style, same size) and for putting in a regular electrical outlet for two plug ins. He told me it would be $200.00. I have no idea what these things cost, so is that a fair price? Thanks.

Sounds about right.

Thanks much.

For something that small it may not matter but for larger items (new heater for instance), it pays to get several estimates, no less than 3. As well, check the BBB website

I believe) to check to see if they are rated well or not. At least with several estimates and a decent BBB rating, you have a better chance of a successful job. Cheers, cc

I paid $150 per new circuit, which included 1 outlet install. This is in Nor-Cal, which is certainly higher than avg when it comes to labor costs.
