how much would you charge to run a 4-wire 240vac #8 gauge to a electric wall oven 60ft. and 40amp breaker box

Question

the wall oven still has to be put in the cabinet. this is being done in new orleans la.

Answer 1

The price varies with labor and materials costs from state to state throughout the country. However, here in Montana I would charge approximately $350.00. I used accubid electrical estimating software to determine this price. I also use this software everyday in my electrical contracting business to accurately detemine pricing for all of our electrical work we bid.

This price would include 75' - 8/3 NMB cable, 1 - 4-wire range receptacle, 1 - 2-gang box, 1 - cover plate, 1 - 40 amp circuit breaker and approximately 2.86 hours labor. This price is for open framing between your breaker box and the new receptacle location. This price will increase if there is drywall cutting or fishing walls involved.

Answer 2

You are asking way too many questions to do this yourself; please refer to NEC Article 90.1 (C). The minimum load you should figure for an electric cooking appliance is 8500 VA, or 36 Amperes. Since 36 Amps is not a "Standard" size for Overcurrent Protection Devices, you are allowed by Article 240.6 to use a 40 Amp device. The conductor size for 40 Amps, assuming THHN copper wire, is #8 AWG, per Table 310.16, and Article 240.4 (D). Now that you know this, hire a qualified, licensed professional to install it. There are other requirements, as well. The four-wire receptacle, for example. This requirement depends on what is available in your home (and that depends on its age). The used oven will be wired for a three-wire connection, and it may not be possible to change that configuration; you would have to contact the manufacturer for a listed cord and plug connector, or a listed fixture whip for the oven. NEVER increase the size of your overcurrent protection without increasing the wire size accordingly, and, never over-protect an appliance. Always install the protection and wire size required.

Answer 3

If holes have to be cut in the sheetrock to route the wire into the box, then holes patched and painted, probably about $275 for myself.
