How much should it cost for an electrician to replace a combination GFCI switch and receptacle? I have a combination receptacle GFCI/switch in my bathroom. What would the cost be for an electrician to replace it, including a two gang cover plate? Do you have the same question?  Unless you feel uncomfortable doing minor repairs or don't understand that you should turn the electicity OFF before doing such installations...you can do the job yourself with a screwdriver and needle nose pliars...within 15 minutes. 5-10 minutes if you've done it before. Answered 2 years ago $65 to $85 for labor + $20 for parts.$85 to $105 total. Answered 5 years ago Most electricians are going to have a minimum charge to go to your home. It costs legitimate contractors so much in licensing, insurance, vehicle costs, office costs, etc. that it isn't worth their time to drive 30 minutes each way & spend 15 minutes on a job, only charging for one hour or even less. I wouldn't be surprised if most master electicians in your area don't charge a minimum of $100-150 in labor per service call.

Most around here won't start their trucks for less than $200-250 but they got a bit spoiled during the construction boom and haven't come down much here yet. by Todd's Home Services Assuming that there is a proper ground conductor present at the outlet box, the price may cost anywhere between $125-$170. A standard receptacle can be replaced with a GFCI outlet if there is proper ground-conducor at the receptacle box. In other words, for a GFCI outlet to function properly and "interupt" when its intended to, there needs to be a proper source of grounding at the main panel and at the receptacle where the GFIC outlet is going to be installed. Furthurmore, if there is not a reliable source of ground at the receptacle box, then the liability of the malfunctioning GFCI installed is witht the electrician who installed the GFCI without inspecting the ground and advising the home-owner on it. If there is no gound and the outlet box, provision of ground needs to be performed to ensure safety.

I hope this helps. Sounds like a 2 hour service minimum at $65 Dollars Each Plus About $20 For Materials. So Roughly $150.00 Not Including any Discounts The Customer Gona Receive as Well (We Run Specials Everyday!). So Roughly $130.00 - $150.00. Answered 4 years ago The first answer is closest to the mark!. You can readily hire a licensed electrician for $30-40 per hour. business for sale muskogee okMany of these guys are right on craigslist, and would be HAPPY to make $40 cash to come out and do this for you. business for sale tombstone azThink of it this way - $40 an hour is $80,000 a year. business for sale east gippslandAnd since we all know that they aren't going to report that $40 cash - it's even more. business for sale kalgoorlie

There are LOTS of very qualified guys who need a bit of side work. The higher costs quoted by the other guys are laughable, and just demonstrate the incredible premium that some people put for what is very SIMPLE work. The whole thing will take like perhaps 30 min to do. It's just shutting off the right breaker, and swapping out the internals. This does assume that a ground wire is present, to be used.business for sale flinders ranges Answered 3 years agoleonard's handyman service It would cost approximately $65-$85 for the service call and $20 for the parts and take a qualified electrician ten to fifteen minutes, you can easily hire someone to do it on the side for far less, as long as you keep in mind that someone doing it on the side, for cheap, is just that, he has no responsibility for your job

, no licenses , no insurance, none of the burdens that raise the price for legal licensed contractors, and you have none of the legal protections you would have with a licensed contractor, cheaper, is not always cheap. Answered 1 year ago Costed me $15 for GFCI. 1 hour to do online research and$ 10 for parts ( contact less tester and GFCI test from harbour frieght) & actual work took took 30 mins. I learnt a lot and no more calling electrician for GFCI work. ALl the idiots who say $ 20 for parts are crazy - A gfci 15 amp circuit breaker is $ 6.99 and any home goods store. Buy the part and tell the electrician you want his LABOUR .How Much Is Workers' Comp Insurance? Workers' Compensation Insurance Quote Analysis Workers' Compensation Insurance is unlike any other type of small business insurance in that it is regulated by the states. In fact, 49 states require all businesses with employees to carry Workers' Compensation Insurance (the exception is Texas). While this means that having Workers' Comp is a unifying thread for businesses with employees, it also means the cost of this coverage varies significantly from one state to another.

It's like anything else regulated by the states: when you have 50 different governing bodies solving a problem, they'll likely solve it in 50 different ways. For example: in Colorado, the rules explicitly state that you can exempt yourself from coverage if you're a volunteer for a ski-area operator. In Florida, rules note that construction professionals are required to carry coverage for themselves, even if they have no employees. For an overview of laws around the country, check out our state-by-state guide to Workers' Compensation laws. Naturally, varying coverage requirements come with varying prices. Below is a map that shows how much Workers' Compensation Insurance costs around the United States, per $100 in payroll. Average Cost of Workers' Compensation Insurance Per $100 In Payroll By State Per $100 in employee wages, Workers' Comp costs in the United States ranged from $.75 in Texas to $2.74 in Alaska as of this report data. But those numbers are deceptively simple: they encompass all types of jobs, which means they don't reflect the variations within states that account for different risk levels.

REPORT: Workers' Compensation: Benefits, Coverage, and Costs, 2012 National Academy of Social Insurance The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) is an independent body that regulates and oversees Workers' Compensation issues in much of the country. The NCCI has developed a system of classification codes ("class codes") to categorize the kinds of work people do. Currently, there are more than 700 codes. Each one denotes a specific type of work and corresponds with lots of research on the risks associated with that work and the injuries it exposes people to. The riskier a profession, it costs to buy Workers' Comp for an employee in that profession. So if you employ three proofreaders, you'll likely have to pay less in Workers' Compensation costs than if you employed three lumberjacks. Here's a look at how much Workers' Comp costs in a few key sectors of private industry. US Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.toc.htm)

Private industry, by major occupational group and bargaining status (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t05.htm) As you can see, those with employees in natural resources, construction, and maintenance pay far more for Workers' Comp Insurance ($1.07 per hour, or 3.1% of total compensation) than those whose employees are doing sales or office work ($.22 per hour, or 0.9% of compensation). With this piece of the puzzle, it's easy to see one factor driving Workers' Comp costs so high in Alaska: much of that state's economy depends on the extraction of natural resources. Because Workers' Compensation is regulated at the state level, changes tend to happen piecemeal, as individual states pass new laws and institute new policies. In the last 25 years, though, the general trend in Workers' Compensation Insurance costs has been downward — to the extent that some critics are raising the alarm that they're no longer adequate to protect workers with the most serious injuries. Here's what that means for small-business owners:
