I'm only ballparking cause I didn't get line items for each piece in the
quote.

Subpanel will cost ~$300-450. The variation will depend on how big a
sub-panel I get.  I have relatively modern (5 year old) 100 amp
service.  The sub-panel will be 60AMP and I think I'm going to get another
10 breakers.

I dunno what the surge protector and coupler installation will be.  I'm
guessing $75-150.  The electrician will provide (and charge for) the
double throw breakers for each. I'm providing the Leviton components.
My guess is based on about an hour to install them both, assuming the
sub-panel is already installed.

I was ballparked a quote of $125 to install a single 220 circuit with the
only outlet within 5 ft of the main panel, so that sounds about the same.

These are all add ons to the quote I got for general wiring work I'm
having done in my attic.

As far as I'm concerned, it's worth the price.  I'm not stupid but I'm no
electrician and I don't have a deathwish.
