Transcript
What's up, guys? Gabe, electrician here. You already no. This is part 12 of reading customer's emails, and you're gonna love this one. Quote to replace the meter box. Hello. We need the meter box on the side of our house replaced. Another company quoted $1,100, which seems excessive considering it's an overhead service and there's no digging involved. My husband has already priced the box, so we know the actual materials aren't anywhere near that much. We're fine paying a fair hourly rate, but we don't feel we should be paying extra just because it involves the meter. The other company said their price included coordinating with the power company. I can make that phone call myself if that's what's driving the worst up. My husband rank also pick up the box, so you don't need to spend time shopping. Thank you. Please send your labor price with those things removed. We prefer someone local who's interested in a small job because the other companies seem more concerned with explaining their overhead than the fact that we're paying out of pocket.
