Electrician

[skeezer]

Looking to get quotes on getting more outlets installed in my garage. When it gets warm I'm going to finish the garage. Will be tearing one wall down anyways to fix it and finishing another so it would be a good time to get this done too.

My brother in law owns his own company...he's an electrician. Let me know how big of an area/what you need done. Do you have the equipment? Need the equipment?

 

[skeezer]

I guess Jarod doesn't want anything to do with this.

How many outlets you need put in, and where is your breaker panel in relation to the garage.

 

[skeezer]

I imagine 3 more outlets. The breaker box is in the house, not close to the garage.

I dunno if its something I can really give a quote on. Im more than capable of doing it, just not sure on materials im actually going to need or how much time it would take me to give you a fair quote and not screw myself either. If you lived closer, Id stop bye to have a look. Honestly, talk to the guy riski suggested if he is in your area.

Ever though about doing it yourself? Its pretty simple as far as theory. You will have to invest in a couple of tools: a wire snake and conduit bender. Add another breaker to the panel, snake two wires to the garage using the existing conduit, from there just pipe the conduit to wherever you want the outlets. The outlets then just need to be wired in parallel. Viola.

Not something I want to screw around with.

i would be willing to look at it. i've been an electrician for 5 years. what type of things are u going to be plugging in?

 

[skeezer]

I'm pretty sure there's only a 15 breaker for the garage right now. Running a 26g air compressor blew that out all by itself. I'm sure that will be something that will need to be upgraded.

 

[duramax302]

is the house is piped in conduit or is it romex? if its piped its very easy to get a couple of extra circuits out there and u wont have to worry about tripping breakers anymore. let me know, im pretty reasonable with pricing.

 

[skeezer]

I wouldn't know how to answer that question, I'm not familiar with any of that sort of thing. This work wouldn't be done for a few months, which is why I'm trying to get an idea of what this is going to cost. The walls will already be torn out, so I don't see it being too much trouble.

I may need additional outlets on the ceiling depending on what kind of lighting I go with.

 

[duramax302]

r the outlets in the house vertical or horizontal? that will tell me the if the house is piped or not. as far as pricing shoot me a message.

 

[skeezer]

Outlets are horizontal.

 

[duramax302]

aight, then im 98% sure that ur house is piped in conduit and adding circuits out there will be a breeze. ill shoot u a pm with a price for three outlets.

lol ill give anything a shot once.... sure hope u have connecting firewalls lol
