ultimax 2 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 If you look at other quotations posted here, it's above the "market rate." Not the most expensive I've seen, but definitely not average.But it's hard to say. Maybe he's really good. Some electricians always take the shortest cut, and don't care too much about looks.And if he's an electrician who your ID uses, and they already have a working relationship, it might be worth paying the extra so that things get done right, and fast.

dimderm 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2012 Hi everyone, thanks very much for your input and help. I managed to bargain a little bit off the electrician's price. I eventually went with him because he has a good relationship with my ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
