Charging $3200 for Square D panel upgrades and holding firm

angi is the WORST for undercutting real work like that, full of hack jobs quoting half the price just to get in the door and leave you with callbacks. i had a guy last month try the same crap on me for a qo upgrade, waving around some angi screenshot for $1800, like thats gonna cover tracing wires and not frying the whole setup. homeowners these days think theyre experts from googling two minutes, but they dont get the liability we eat with those federal pacific fire hazards. sticking to $3200 was smart, dont let em bully you down. on the afci add-on, id push it every time now because inspectors are getting stricter and you dont wanna redo the job for free. angi and those lead gen sites are screwing the whole trade, driving prices into the ground while we clean up their messes. pissed me off so bad i stopped taking their leads altogether.

those angi lowballers piss me off every time, had a guy yesterday try to haggle me down on a similar qo swap and i almost walked, but yeah you shoulda tacked on the afci for that extra 300.

Same here man, had a guy yesterday bitch about my $2900 Eaton quote like I'm the bad guy for not doing it for free.
