electrician costs for new vinyl pool?

[us7sail]

As the home owner here in chatham county NC you are allowed to do all aspects of the construction yourself. Of course must have permit and be inspected. that beeing said I think I am going to go it my self with the aid of a friend that does electrical. As far as bonding the pool, we will just use concrete with fibers instead of rebar/mesh wire. From want I understand strength is the same. Any body have pictues of their pad so I can see a profesional set up? Thanks chris
P.S. By the way collar arround the base of walls and pad is being poured tommorow PM. Can't wait to chalk another thing off the list. Will post pictues of install as soon as I get a break. Hard working and then comming home and working.

About what should the electricians bill be to install electrical power and bond vinyl pool. 40' run from house to pool pad, @ pad, pump outlet for polaris pump, switch for light, and convience receptical. I,m looking for general figures. I know there are alot of specifics that change price. I just recieved a quote of 1800 for labor and 800 for parts. (2600 total seems high.) Labor was figured @ 16 hrs x 110 per hr. (75 for electricican and 50 for helper per hr) Any input would be helpful thanks chris

I am an electrician. The labor seems about double of what it will take. The problem is he will probably not finish in one day and he is charging you for another full day. (btw75+50=125) The quoted price of material is high too. Even if you had a subpanel, the #6 wires in a 1-in conduit (approx $2.60 per ft) would cost probably half. His mark up on material sounds over 100%. See if he will let you supply the material. Part of the problem may be that he is charging you for full rolls of wire.
