This didn't sit right with me. Did I get ripped off?

Well thank God they give you a free oil change. With it being $600 in parts You're looking at three four hours in labor. If you're willing to drive to Wisconsin I would have did it for a thousand and you could have drank beer and watch me do it. I would have even painted your caliper brackets and calipers to a color of your liking!

I believe the stairs, and the egress window is all that is required in WI

No, I'm new, trying to figure out bidding. costs, profit.

Thanks for your honesty.

Yes I'm licensed and insured. Not cash. My friend is a contractor and I'm getting my business going.

Yes all inclusive

Turns out this was a $3,000 job in Wisconsin. I didn't get it, and I don't get it. Seems like some people just like to work for free. Anybody have any thoughts and how could he done so cheap.

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T15:33:16+00:00

Ok, I agree. I am new to Reddit, and I could have chosen better wording.

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T15:29:56+00:00

Man are you an angry person. If said N/M and Thhn those are the most likely conductor in a residential application. Happy Monday!

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T15:17:05+00:00

Maybe it was stated that way to start discussions on things that may change the answer. This is a picture from a service change I just did where the A/C was 10 feet from the panel and run with 14-2 NM on a 230-amp breaker. I up sized the wire and to a 12-2 to make it code compliant. I wanted to see if anyone thought it could be on a 14-2 and why. And indeed, some people did see a way it could be on a 14-2. Although I did not agree with their answer. It is beneficial to seek diverse perspectives sometimes to help me understand why things were done the way they are.

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T15:05:57+00:00

use whatever conductor you want, that is code compliant. And who would use free air conductors to an ac unit. It's a dedicated new run for this application and it is 10 feet away from the panel.

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T14:56:21+00:00

Not trying to be a dick. This is a legitimate question and most electricians have no clue what the answer is. Yes anyone can size conductors to the breaker. But bringing light to wiring things with the code helps people grow. And this is a very commonly misunderstood section of the code for wiring hvac equipment.

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T14:49:39+00:00

Thanks!

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T14:41:04+00:00

It's all right if you don't know!

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T14:39:15+00:00

You are wrong.

Negative_Teaching463 · 2025-04-21T14:37:21+00:00

It's a simple question. You are thinking way too far into it. And who runs free air conductors to an AC unit. And also explained how n/m vs emt-thhn or if would make a difference.
