Thanks so much, that confirms my suspicions. I don't mind for paying for an honest day's work, but gauging like this just pisses me off. If anyone has a good electrician to recommend, I'd gladly give them the business. PM me if you know, thanks!

Dear All: Just got a electrical quote (thru ID) and I know that the rates are ridiculous. I expect, and am willing, to pay a bit above market rates since the process may go smoother due to ID Recommendation, but I don't expect to be price gauged. Can someone let me know what are the market rates for what they have quoted? Or if you know of a good recommendation, do let me know.
