My Mother hired a licensed electrician to install 1 ethernet drop in her home office. She already had a preexisting tp-link setup in the basement. She showed me the invoice today which totaled $958.00! I’m shocked and disgusted. Feels like they took advantage of my Mother.
I told my Mother to call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they possibly made a mistake. If not, I advised her to never do business with that company again. This seems like highway robbery. Is there anything else she can do?
Residential is usually more expensive than business and usually companies won’t do residential if they’re big.
It’s been a few years since I got quotes, but generally it was $250 per run and those runs would be run to their max length with slack if needed. Or at least that’s what I requested 90 m for every run spool it up in the ceiling.
It can take a lot of work to run cable and residential because of things like fire blocks and other unforeseen circumstances.
But this seems very high to me.
Tip: if you ever pay someone to run ethernet and you need a single drop pay for two.
