electrikid, Your math is a bit off IMHO. At 180va per device you are going to need to take into account all of the added distribution equipment, service size, number of panel board and breakers. Branch circuit distribution and on and on. Show me a contractor who prices just the install (T&M) on one receptacle at less than $40.00 or so and I will show you a contractor who is losing money or on the margin.

Anyway interesting topic and brings to mind an electrical inspector who would release a "temporary final" but would not release the final until all of the equipment, pc's,printers etc were in place and all of the branch circuit panel board load calcs matched the actual load served... This inspector made electrical engineers cringe!
( Steve, You know who I am talking about.... If your out there reading these post's I miss ya! Hope your enjoying retirement.)
