So, we're looking at adding a 60A or 100A line to our garage, and I had a few questions based on what we've been told from one contractor.
The quotes we were given were:
60A line and sub-panel, with a re-wire of the garage to the new sub panel ($2600)
100A line and sub-panel, with the same re-wire ($3,200)
I wasn't given a break-down of the costs, but it includes running the line from the panel in our basement and out about 60' (including digging the trench) to our detached garage. I plan on having them install two NEMA 14-50 outlets, of which I believe only 1 outlet installation is included in the price.
So, I must admit that I wasn't expecting to pay quite as much, and was wondering if I could get any information on the costs others have shelled out when having an install where a line had to be run some distance. Thought about calling some other contractors, but I have used this specific one in the past and was happy with the work. That said, I don't want to spend money I don't have to.
I'd appreciate any insight people have, as I'm a bit out of my element here. I will say that the we'll be going with a 100A circuit.
