Re: Service Upgrade in Essex New Jersey
I would bring 200A into the house.
I would charge about $2500...maybe $3000, depending on conditions which include distance to water meter from panels, location of rods and distance to panel, working conditions in basement (any crawling creatures?), neighborhood (some areas in Newark ARE hell), etc.
The above number is for QO panels and RGS and all CU conductors - I don't know that the city will allow PVC or SE cable. If you need to use lesser products to make the sale, so be it.
