Why are you grouping everything electrical under labor costs, if it includes things like expensive copper wiring and a $4500 electric panel?

- linsomniac 4y agoI wasn't, I'm including panel and wiring under materials cost, but some component of the $4500 panel replacement will be labor. Panels cost around $250, but then you need to upgrade the meter base, add an external disconnect (now code), upgrade ~5ft of aluminum from meter base to panel) and then swing over and reconnect all the circuits (high labor). There's also a city component for service upgrade. Then there's the components related to the solar grid tie. I understand that how I initially phrased it sounded like maybe I was bundling that into labor.
