Can someone assist with helping figure out if i am being charged a fair price
I live in a very old home and am in the process of modernizing it. I already had some major electrical work done. The old electrical panel box was in the basement. We kept that there and installed a new box on the 1s floor. This controls the first and second floor. The old panel box controls the basement and some outlets on the outside of the house. The house also has the gas and electric meters in the basement. i'd like to do the following:
-I'd like to replace the old panel box with a modern one in the basement. The old panel box uses those old screw in fuses. There are also al ot of old wires running to that box that we don't think is being used. some are not even connected. In fact, it seems like the electrician that installed 1st floor box also ran some wires to this one, some of which was not connected
-I'd like to also move the utilities meters to the outside of the home.
I live in Yonkers (Westchester), New York. Can anyone give me an idea what a job like this would cost me? One electrician that comes highly recommended stated that this type of work would run me around $3k, but is willing to do it for me for $2100. He says it is a full day job.
thanks much
