What would be a round about price for an electrician to do this?
In addition to what's been posted, consider the following and be an educated consumer:
If there's space in the existing panel to accommodate your new 2 pole
breaker, installation will cost less.
If the existing panel requires upgrading to a larger size, or the addition of a sub panel, you'll pay more.
If additional wiring requires the installation of rigid
conduit, you'll pay more.
If
EMT meets code compliancy, you'll save money.
Here in Canada we still have BX while on your side of the
border I believe you have a close to equivalent product referred to as "metal clad" which ought to be even less expensive. Pipe can be cheaper to install over all as you're often installing fewer clamps. If your dealing with poured concrete walls, every hole you drill takes time and costs more money.
If your facility is wired in
conduit, and if there's sufficient space within existing
conduit to install additional wiring without exceeding
conduit fill restrictions AND if the installation of said wiring can be accomplished at at time savings, you could pay less.
If the new
receptacle you require can physically be accommodated within the existing
receptacle's box, you could realize a savings.
In my experience, labor is always the larger share of the costs. Oftentimes it's better to pay a little extra for materials if they
gain a more then they cost savings in installation time.
Non union labor MAY be less costly, although as a retiree with 47 years in the
IBEW, I can sense a lightning
bolt about to
strike me down for having typed that.
Time is ALWAYS money. If you're considering adding a few more similar receptacles in the foreseeable future, you ought to consider having this quoted as an alternative add-on to your original quote as you may find it more affordable to do this
in one step or your contractor may elect to install a larger diameter
home run conduit to the panel initially to have the extra pipe capacity already in place for your future plans.
If your
venue is part of a much larger facility, a college or university for example, they'll likely have electricians on staff who may be able to fit your needs into their regular hours given sufficient lead time.
Bottom
line: ALWAYS get at least three quotes, study them meticulously to ensure they're 'apples to apples' competitive. Have them read over by other informed folks if you've any doubts in your abilities to adequately evaluate them. Depending upon who you're dealing with, some forms of barter are possibly negotiable. If a contractor has three kids he or she is hoping to get into a summer
theatre program for kids that's operating in your space you may be in a position to negotiate. Possibly the contractor may be trying to
purchase tickets to a sold out production in your
venue and you may be able to accommodate his or her needs within your booth. You never know. Explore ALL your options.
Please forgive the ramblings of a geezer.
Toodleoo!
