How many feet is the hot tub unit from the power source?
If you do have a power source available, the only materials that the electrician should need is the wiring necessary to connect the hot tub to the outlet.
This is typically measured by the foot, with average pricing around $????/foot of cable.
So if you need to run 15 feet of wire, the approximate cost for those materials would be $????.
Here is a simple formula to determine the price for the wiring itself (please note, this does not include labor wages):
(Total # of feet of wiring) x (???) = $Price for wiring
You will also need to decide whether or not you want the wiring run above ground or below ground. Do certain electricians run wiring below ground? Will they do the digging themselves? If so, what is the cost/time to do so?
Once you have determined how much wire will be run, and whether or not the wiring will be run below/above ground, you can estimate how long the job will take an electrician.
For every 10 feet of wiring above ground, it will take approximately ??? hrs of work.
