/ / What Affects the Price

Why one job costs more than another.

These are the main variables that push your specific project toward the low or high end of the range.

Wall access & construction type

Unfinished basements and attic access make wiring fast and affordable. Fishing wire through finished drywall, plaster (common in older Midtown KC and Brookside homes), or brick costs significantly more in labor.

New circuit vs existing circuit

Tapping into a nearby existing circuit is the most affordable option. A new dedicated circuit (running all the way back to the panel) costs more but is required for high-draw appliances, outdoor outlets, and code-required dedicated circuits.

Outlet & switch type

Standard 15A outlets are least expensive. GFCI outlets (required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors) cost more. USB-C combination outlets, smart outlets, and tamper-resistant outlets each have different price points.

Location in the home

Kitchen counter outlets, outdoor weatherproof boxes, bathroom vanity outlets, and garage ceiling outlets all have different code requirements and access challenges that affect installation cost.

Number of outlets in one visit

Installing multiple outlets in a single visit is more cost-effective per outlet than one at a time — we can often add several outlets on the same circuit run.
