Great topic.I know how you feel RR.I live here in NE PA.19yrs.We have no state license.It is so cut throat here I am having the same problem here.I can not remember the last service change I did.I am lucky if I get $1800 for a 200amp mast service.One EC here in PA charged only $600 to add a 200amp disc,and 75 feet of 200amp SER to the panel box.My price would have been alot more then that.Most of these ECs here are giving it away.

I gave a bid to a HO yesterday on a addition.Change the panel,move the service with dis to new loction(50feet)35 openings,3 ceiling fans,8 Hi hats,5 smokes,4 Fixture outs,2 Keylees,3 240 volt T Stats,4 2kw heaters,1 2.5kw heater,and 5 circuits.Gave price of just under 7K.Still waitimg for the call.

Heres the funny part.I gave the HO down the steet a price on a big addition they where doing.My price was 23K.Found out the other guy was 8K.The materal alone was 5K.
