How much generally would it cost for a two outlet electrical plug to be installed by a electrician.?

Question

I'm setting up my office in a area where I need more electrical outlet to hook up my computer printer ect.

Answer 1

You should use a surge suppressor power strip (at least -- seriously consider a uninterruptible power supply [UPS] -- surge suppression and battery backup so you don't lose a vital document if the power goes) and plug all of your computer stuff into that, so some bad power doesn't wipe out your stuff.

You might want to consider an adapter for the plug you have. They make one that screws into the center screw on a two outlet plug, but you get 6 outlets. This is really useful for lots of plugs that don't use much -- like telephone, fax, lamp, etc. Lowe's and Home Depot have them in the Electrical Dept...

I use a UPS and a six outlet adapter -- they both work great...

Answer 2

Put in two, 4 outlet boxes and depending on how far they have to run from the electrical box. Guessing 50 feet to box and two 4 outlet boxes around 150 to 200.
