What electrical work costs in the HRM
No electrician can price your job down the phone, and the ones who do are guessing. What you can find out now is what will decide the number on your house, before anyone turns up to quote it.
Answer three questions- What do you need done?
- How big is the job?
- How old is the house?
Photographs of recent jobs are on the recent work page, and how permits and inspections run in this province is set out on the electrical permits page.
