The least expensive 50amp GFCI breaker I can find is $140.

Follow-up...
Geez...was my original post REALLY that hard to understand? Many like this guy in Post #18 (Bill14564) could. I'm amazed at the number who could not!
Quote:
To be even MORE specific, with apologies to those who did originally understand: 1) Called Lenhart for an estimate 2) Lenhart estimator came out and gave written estimate for $700 to install 50amp breaker and outlet about 50' from service panel. 2) About 15 minutes after estimator left and I checked my calendar, I called their office to schedule work to be done. 3) I was put on hold for a few minutes while scheduler checked with supervisor. 4) When she came back on, I was told the estimator's quote did not include everything needed and the actual price would be $900. I have 2 other companies coming out for quotes, one of which is Pikes, next week. FYI - Lenhart did call back later that day apologizing for estimator's mistake.

I often look at feedback before buying stuff. There are always some negatives and I tend to look at them first. Sometimes they are valid. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes when I read them I realize I did not even think about that and it is worth it to me to spend more.

You haven't shopped for wire in a while. A 50' roll of 12-2 is $70.

The OP stated that he needed a 50 amp circuit. My assumption is that he is getting an EV. He will need 6/3 wire if he wants a NEMA 14-50 receptacle at about $3 per foot. He may be able to go with a NEMA 6-50 which uses 6/2 wire at a lower cost.

I paid $100 plus parts last year for a 50 amp breaker plus wall plug for my EV.
It took 15 minutes to do the job. He was a one man show and licensed in Florida Electrican. He said people always pay too much here in TV. He just retired first of the year. |

Ha Ha Ha, $900.00 for a 50 amp breaker in your garage that’s ridiculous. That’s the problem living in the Villages. Contractors think you’re rich because you live here and inflate their prices. Always get 3 detailed estimates and compare apples to apples.

Follow-up to original post
Just to let everyone know, manager from Lenhart called, explained the confusion, and honored the original quote by not charging for the $200 GFI that is now required this year by code.
Work was done a couple of days ago to my satisfaction.
