How much for two 20A lines?


My electrician is coming tomorrow to size up the job to run 2 20A lines on 10 gauge Romex from the service panel to my equipment rack.

For those of you who have done it, what did it cost?
I asked for an estimate over the phone, and got: "I don't want to tell you 400.00 and have it cost 600.00..."

About $100 an outlet plus material markup.

This is assuming you have space in the panel for two more breakers. If not, then it's up in the air since the only option you'll have is a subpanel. You'll need to have the feed-thru lugs freed up in order to catch a subpanel.
Worst case: subpanel ($24.00), main breaker($9.00), two 20-A breakers ($10.00), 2 outlets ($20.00 stsd), 2 boxes ($4.00), hardware ($20.00) and 250-feet 10/2 Romex ($100.00), 2-outlet labor ($220.00), subpanel labor ($100) totals about $500.00

Of course, if you're going the Wattgate-FIM-cryo route, then a lot lot more.
