I have a 3 family with some electrical updates needed. I got a quote of $6,100 for the following:

-6 new separate heavy duty lines for front & back air conditioners on each floor.
-6 ceiling fans installed (I am responsible for buying the fans)
-1 new ground wire in cellar
updated outlets to allow for 3 prongs as needed
-17 new boxes for all ceiling lights (hallways and rooms)

Does this sound reasonable?

He’s my first quote – he comes highly recommended (but he isn’t licensed).

Thanks for any feedback…

Does anyone have a licensed electrician they would recommend?

  1. I know you want to save money, who wouldn’t? But this isn’t a small job and I don’t think you’re looking at the big picture. When you use a licensed electrician you are protected by your insurance policy should you have a fire. In this case it’s best to go with a licensed company who will stand behind their work.
