MVPaquatics Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 how expensive depends on many things...are you going GFCI? thats an expense...how far from panel to destination...how easy it is to move the outlets...how many outlets there are...what kind of breaker... Its usually pretty easy and can be done by yourself if you own it...I can help you answer specific questions like what gauge wire, outlets, hookups, etc. If you are afraid of the electricity you can save ALOT of money to cutting the outlets...hooking up the wiring...and just have them actually hook up the actual breaker....but honestly...im 26 and I just wired my fish room...mine was complex so I had my electrician uncle from intel look it over first. I have 3 circuits, for different areas and lights. It can be tedious work, but you really don't want to pay someone $80/hr to hookup outlets...it can be much cheaper to DIY which leaves room for more custom-ability. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
