Tom,
Every section of the country, has a wealth index, for every city, and town, and they all differ, that is why you can't ask someone, how much do you charge for a given task, because it will differ from one area to another, what will not differ, is your overhead, and operating costs they are fixed, your profit can be adjusted up or down, but the fixed costs, are payouts, amounts you pay others to stay active in business, to arrive at job cost, you need to know the time it takes to do a given task, then add your overhead, and operating costs, for that given time, add in the material with it's burden costs, and mark-up, then add in your desired profit.
The dollar amount, comes from what it costs to do a job in a certian area, where, there is a known cost index, and a known overhead for the contractor.
I can't get that price, is usually, because no ligit price, has not been tried in a given area, not because the area is in a low wealth index.
If your in an area that is depressed, then prices will be on the low side, if your in a wealth area, prices will be on the up side, and remember some areas will not support more than a few contractors, depending on the population, so no matter how much you charge, the work will not support a business.
Before striking out in business, the area should be checked to see if it will support a contracting business, a mistake many make, they jump in before checking the area.
), your 100A service is $1500. Using your smaller number ($7200) that leaves $5700 for the units needs.
