Boom.I take this tact on many high priced or specialty or design items, like countertops, light fixtures, appliances, large glass or window replacements, mechanical anything, etc….Contractors have their preferred suppliers who they know and are reliable, but are not always the best deal.

Owing to the trend towards smaller, more efficient appliances and LED lighting electrical loads I think are somewhat less than they may have been per SF like in the 70's through 2000's when everybody had incandescent lighting and big tube TVs and refrigerators, dishwashers, etc. that used 2 or 3x as much power as modern ones.I've had a couple turn-of-century units rewired to remove K&T and failed 'BX" (flexible steel sheathed 2 wire cable) and agree with other posters the pricing isn't that bad as long as you can find an electrician that has some experience with that kind of work, and sometimes it might be helpful to open up some cable routes ahead of time for them to use so they don't have to do the exploratory work.
