I just got quoted a $5000 for getting a 100amp service to the garage. It includes:
--Replace current fuse box in basement (builder special to something nicer with more spots for more breakers)
--conduit from 'in' line to run through the basement into the garage
--install fusebox for dedicated power in garage
--install about 35' of conduit snaked around the garage walls and ceiling (to get HPWC installed in opposite corner from fusebox)
--install and mount HPWC
I got word earlier this week that my car was available for pickup on Saturday (tomorrow) rather than the original anticipated date of July 16th. So, of course, I haven't made arrangements of getting an electrician over to quote me and install the HPWC). With me being in Mexico during the majority of the week (every week for the last 4 weeks), I haven't had time to get ready and with delivery date changed, I'm in reactive mode rather than proactive.
Unfortunately, the electrician couldn't do it today and his next open dates (yes, he needs two days) are the 15th and 16th. So we'll be getting the car to sit on it for a whole week where it'll drain from the vampire drain before we can charge and use it.
In anycase, anyone have any opinions on price? I'd rather find out that this quote is too much and I should check with other electricians to pay less. Opinions please!
