Below is the estimate I got for the installation of the Blink level 2.
Prior to receiving the estimate I spoke to the electrician on the phone. He said he didn't even need to come out for a site visit. He could see from the pic of my panel that there is space available in the panel. I told him I wanted the unit right next to the panel. He said he's done these for less than $100 out of pocket after the $400 allowance. So I'm thinking I'm good, should be an easy ... When I got the estimate I thought it seemed high, given the proximity to the panel and ease of installation. I called my municipality and the total cost of the permit is about $40. I'm not sure where the $175 comes from.
I called SPX to see if I could get a a second estimate. The adviser said the electrician had to fill out all kinds of paperwork for the DOE and that could contribute to the cost. She was going to contact the electrician and see if he could do any better on the estimate and let me know. That was Thursday, haven't heard back from her since.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
