Over 1/2 of our box are splits!

Last fall a neighbor, who's an elec teacher quoted about 1200 to go to 150. Could be a decent price...I've not yet got other quotes as we killed the project until the new year.

Sounds like a good price to me, but get other prices just to keep him honest

But to be honest...I don't trust anyone. No offence to the contractors out there

Your quote of $ 1500.00 seems very fair , but he is robbing himself as the material for a 150 A service actually costs more than the stock for a 200 as it is pretty uncommon to go with 150 A You might want to make sure who is doing the work has at least liability insurance, pulling a permit is usually a good idea

I wouldn't do it any other way...

The person in question is insured, licensed and a teacher at a local tech school. It's possible that material cost has gone up in the last year...

I wouldn't do it without a permit...actually would the elec company do the work on their end without one?
