electrician cost is it insane?
is 180 - 200 a point installation high? To my husband he is outraged says its insane. He also wants $800 to pull out all the electrical cables and re-hook them up again.(we have major beam problems) I just need to know if he is higj or is that within reason. Any help would be appreciated.

$150 seems about par for the course in NYC. You should call Russell Yevgeniy of RVA Electric. He charged me around $75 a point. My project was a total gut so it might be a little more if he has to fish. He is licensed, very professional and is always punctual.

What does $$$ a point installation mean?

I have not done it but I've done a lot of reading on it, and I am budgeting $200 a point for an old house where each wire will have to be fished through small holes in the wall. Not a gut job.
Of course I'd be thrilled if I could find someone to do it for less.
Cookie, a point just means an outlet or lighting fixture or appliance or whatever -- where the electrical wire ends. (And what it powers.)

Newbie here so i apologise in advance for any confusion! I know nothing about wiring but i have found diagrams etc online to look at and come to some assumptions.....
I have a tokai 'springy sound' electric guitar that all seems to be wired fine and has a ground wire from the bridge to the pots. So i am assuming here that the electric guitar is not a problem.
The amplifiers (one a large monitor amp and the other a small practice amp) give an awful hum and lots of 'snap crackle and pop' noises when my guitar is plugged in. One amplifier is a 15 watt guitar that has been electrically tested and yet creates all this noise. The large monitor also gives the same amount of noise.
