Hello All! Please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong subforum or am following improper forum etiquette. I am still relatively new here.
Just trying to make sure I'm not off my rocker when it comes to the following quote I received for a NEMA 14-50R install in my garage.
A bit of background: I have two panels, each fed with 240V@150A (single phase, two pole). Both panels are in the garage. Panel A has very little active load on it (measured by the electrician at only 1.5A) and plenty of available capacity. The proposed run is only 12' horizontal (15+' when accounting for vertical portions of EMT conduit), running along the baseboard. Please see the attached picture of the garage. Panel A is to the left of the photo. The proposed NEMA 14-50R plug location is next to the ladder.
After doing my research, I assumed the quote would come in around $400-$700, as no panel replacement/upgrade is necessary (or quoted). Only the 50A breaker, ~15' of #6 wire, ~15' of EMT conduit, box, fittings, NEMA 14-50 receptacle, permit, and labor, are necessary, from my understanding. $1,231.47 + $100 permit fee seems excessive. Am I wrong here? What sort of range should I honestly be expecting for this sort of install? Any recommendations for electricians in the Atlanta (Gwinnett) area?
