Electrical Quote Input

Wow, tomcat...where are you located?? That price is phenomenal!

wbrady...I lived in MD just before moving back to TX and I think you're quote is right on. We had non-pool electrical work done in MD and if they'll take care of the permits, which was a major hassle in the county we lived in, that's already worth something!

Our electrical ran $2500 here in TX for the pool for about the same work, as near as I can judge. However, not only did we have to do the back-filling, we also had to do all the trenching!! Like maids that "don't do windows", the electricians around here "don't do trenching!" They tell homeowners to go out to some street corner somewhere and hire a few day laborers to do the trenching!

Then, due to what the PB thought was a bad SWCG panel (wasn't bad after all...), the PB switched it out but couldn't figure out how to reconnect it. Had to call out the electrician who spent 10 minutes connecting 3 wires/cables and then charged us another $75. Needlesss to say, we won't be calling him for any other electrical work we have to do.

I doubt he charged you anything for making the connection. $75 is a pretty standard charge just to show up.
