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?

    Before I even saw the price, I said 1k per run in my head. Learn how to pull cable yourself if you don’t like it. Shit can be challenging sometimes. You charge 1k per run because some runs should cost 2k and some should be 500. When you only want 1 run done, you pay the premium then. Having said that, probably should have adjusted this one after the fact and said “Hey that was a pretty easy one, here’s 30% back”.
