    Changing amps
    I'm starting a small business and I have to change the amps from 60amp to 200amp I was wondering the cost for that type of work they are asking me for almost 13,000 which sounds crazy to me, this is my first business so I'm not familiar with prizing. Thanks for the help

    Those guys know better than I what this should cost. $13,000 seems excessive, unless there's an awful lot of work to be done in addition to replacing the circuit panel. I would expect that replacing the circuit panel, incoming wires, etc. would run around $2,000 -- but that's an uneducated guess.
