Anyone know the going rate for high-hats in South Jersey with a 65W incandescent lamp installed in new construction?
a 65W incandescent lamp
That's going to be a tough one to answer. The going rate for a 200A service upgrade in one northern NJ county is about $2800. Move one county over and it can drop by almost $1K. I can't begin to think what a per hi-hat # would be. I wish we could all take a lesson from plumbers. They all stick together. All they have to know is water flows up and crap flows down and they get $120/hr to change a washer.:slaphead: In the mean time we electricians are all cutting each others throats.
Anyway, I can't specifically answer your question as I am in northern NJ. However material costs are all going to be roughly the same. A cheap & dirty Halo 6" recessed can/trim and bulb at HD are going to be around $20-$25. A coil of 14/2 RX is about $31. The big variable is labor. Personally speaking I would try to get at least $125 a fixture. Just my opinion.
They still make those???
And a better made fixture like JunoMy friend is buying a house that's being built and the EC quoted him $150/HH with a 65R-30 lamp for additional recessed lighting. Given the location and being that it's new construction it sounded a bit high to me, IMO for $150 each you should be getting LED's.

Is the EC really getting $150 or do the developer, salesperson, GC & EC all have their hands in the pot?
100 to 125 is about right,coming from so.JerseyQuote is directly from the EC but I guess that there could be a GC mark-up.
