Electricians, estimate for the following electrical work?

Question

350 square foot freestanding workshop about fifty feet from main house needs to be wired for electrical (from scratch).

Will need new electrical panel, installation of 4 overhead lights, and at least five electrical outlets for workshop machinery (not heavy duty). One outlet will be dedicated to a window A/C unit in summer and shop heat in winter.

I realise you can't make a perfect estimate without seeing the property, but it will be a couple of weeks before I can schedule an electrician to give me a real estimate, therefore I'm asking about my project here just for a price range so I can think about financing.

Thank you, any electricans/hand people that respond!

Answer 1

For electrical figure $100 an hour labor thats $1600 then materials cost and permit will run around $1300 keep in mind that labor prices change with the contractor so it will be more or less. Average cost........$2000 to $3000 depending where you are.

Answer 3

Ok I think that you should put at least a space in the new panel for 220 volts and 30 amps. You may want it some day welder dryer hotwater heater? They will have to get a permit which you will need for resale and insurance purposes. You will need extra grounding rods at the new panel. After it is all over the romex will have to be covered to close the permit. I would say you may be looking at 2 days labor (16hours labor) and add $500. for material. Let me know how far off I am.

Generally, I would say somewhere between $2200.00 and $2500.00 would be a fair price for a contractor.
This is with you getting the permit.
