I'm changing out an 150 amp FPE panel to a 200 amp CH panel. Adding 2 ground rods and running ground to water pipe coming in the house about 20 ft away. Job is pretty cut and dry and don't see any problems. Also it is a underground service so no need for new service drop. What would you guys price something out like this for. I'm thinking $1200.

I would price at $2,000.00

 

[smartblonde]

I'd sit at home before I'd do it for 1200

Be careful that doesn't require $1000 of afci's in your state Md....

Exactly x 3

 

[Bootss]

do it for your price then evaluate whether was worth your time after completion. I adjust your price accordingly afterwards.

I just did one a couple days ago but overhead service

Charged $2200

2 men......4 hours

I'd be at almost 2k for just the panel swap if there was a main disconnect and I didn't need the POCO involved.......closer to 3k for the permit, panel swap, grounding, disconnect and reconnect by the POCO and inspection of the work.

I just did one in Montgomery County Maryland
PEPCO never showed the day the meter pull was scheduled
Waited the next day for 5 hours on the inspector

$1,200.00 would have sucked

I just quoted a panel change out for $1200.00. On the job already, 100A, ground is already there, no additional plywood needed, AFCI troubleshooting extra.

 

[rewire]

I would do it for $950.00

I would do that job for $1200 if and only if....the place had a main disconnect and I was able to shut it down and not need the poco for any reason.
We legally can't pull the meter or cut the lines to shut down so I would have to do it live and that just isn't gonna happen.

Utility comes out in the morning, they pull the meter and give us a jumper, they come back in the afternoon and put the meter back in.

 

[rewire]

None of our meters have locks so it is not hard to pull the meter disconnect the panel feeds and put the meter in then swap out the panel pull the meter and reconnect the panel feeds .

If you have not given the price yet, and the job does not need a lot of redistribution of the loads in the panel, go at it for $8.00/amp.

You mean what would a contractor charge Vs what an unlicensed side worker shouldn't be doing at all?
