Of course the majority of that cost is labor, so whether $800 is a lot or not depends on a few factors. Where does the power enter the house, and where will the hot tub be located would be factors. Running from your main to the opposite side of the house, across the attic, and down a conduit on the wall would be different than if the hot tub were located a few feet away from the main. So shopping around is definitely the way to go. If everyone is in the same ball park, you know something.
Of course be sure they are licensed and DO NOT give any money up front. Materials for a job like this are pretty insignificant and they ought to be on their truck or in their yard.
