wow, if you're doing all the work, it should be about an hour or two at most of labor and a permit fee. so I could see 200 to 300 bucks max if all he is doing is hooking in the two ends. now if he has to install a sub panel because yours is full and some stuff like that, then I could see the 2000.00
