On the topic of CFGC install with the 230v out let can somebody Please tell me why is it ridiculously, absurdly expensive to have one installed by an electrician. My install last week was $800 which I was told by my dealer is a steal and that most guys charged about $1200-1400. That is just crazy,..1200 for 3 hrs of work. Ok if the parts are about 400 then my labor cost was 400 for 3 hrs of work. And it's not really not that complicated or heavy manual labor. It's maybe a bit more entailed than say a Directv dish & cable installation but can they charge that kind of labor. I can think of more difficult, physically involved work than that but they don't quote that price.
Mr. Jones goes to work. Mrs Jones notices the hot tub isn't working and calls for service. Service tech comes out to work on the spa. Mr. Jones returns from work, and notices the breaker for the spa is off. So he flips it back on. Service tech is electrocuted and dies. There's at least two documented cases of this happening. It wouldn't happen if the service tech could have SEEN the breaker, from the spa.
