My Mother hired a licensed electrician to install 1 ethernet drop in her home office. She already had a preexisting tp-link setup in the basement. She showed me the invoice today which totaled $958.00! I’m shocked and disgusted. Feels like they took advantage of my Mother.

I told my Mother to call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they possibly made a mistake. If not, I advised her to never do business with that company again. This seems like highway robbery. Is there anything else she can do?

    Yeah that’s an over charge. I think I paid someone $1,500 to wire my whole house with CAT6A shielded I think I have 20 drops, two per room give or take a few extras in places.

    She should have never hired an electrician always hire the actual low voltage companies. Electricians HATE doing low voltage because it’s tedious compared to running romex and requires more specialized tools and considerations.
