A clear set of plans and specifications enables all the bidding electricians to play by the same set of ground rules. It also helps you fairly compare their prices. You’ll find, as you put a job out to bid, that each electrician has a slightly different take on how to do the work and what materials to use. Keep these suggestions in mind as you scrutinize the bids so you can adjust for specific differences in cost. Let’s say you want a standard, switch-controlled light to be installed outside your garage. One of your bidders might suggest that you put in a motion detector instead, which will automatically turn on the light when it detects someone moving nearby. Another bidder might suggest that you install a larger ventilation fan in your kitchen. The service panel is the big item. If you specify one brand and an electrician recommends another, find out why and compare the differences in cost by calling an electrical wholesaler.
