It depends on a lot of variables: What is the code in the location you are moving the double wide mobile house to? Also, is electricity available for them to hook up to prior to operating it to your mobile home? If you are relocating to your own private lot in the nation, you may possibly even have to pay the county or the state a fee for running the primary power to your lot. I assume your greatest way of discovering out the cost would be to call a couple of electricians in the area you are going to be living and ask them what for a cost estimate. A journeyman electrician may possibly get a flat fee minimum for the service call (Maybe $ 100) plus an hourly rate (possibly $ 50 – $ 150 depending on what is involved). Dont forget to ask if you will be charged for travel time or not (normally not) and what the warranty period on their work will be if it ought to go negative. Come across out also from your local electric utility if they want to be advised or involved. Also come across out from your city or locality if the electrician has to pull a “permit” since this could cost one thing. Excellent luck, I know it sounds complex but it is not. The other thing, Property Depot may possibly be prepared to manage the job which would take some of the worry away from you. I would not do this if it is minor expense however.

You need to call a couple of local electricians in your area to get a more accurate price. There are too many things to consider to be able to answer that question and I am sure they might want to see the site and what all is involved. This might be something that should be checked into prior to pruchasing because you never know what all might be involved and I am sure you would want it done right.
good luck;.
Sorry. “Flip” probably has it right. If you want an accurate answer, please let us know where you are at. Costs can vary greatly from one area to another. A price that may be outrageously high in one part of the country, may be a bargain somewhere else. Anyone who quotes prices to you without this information is not very likely to be accurate.
Your best bet is always to contact some reputable electrical contractors in the area for quotes/proposals. Ask neighbors and friends for referrals, if possible. Be wary of ‘Cheapest-Bidder Electric Company’. There may be a hidden reason why the bid is cheap.
Some of the other info may also be correct. Find out just how much of it the power company in your area will do. You will need a meter base / pedestal. The power co. may supply it, they may not. I doubt that they will do the hookup from the pedestal to the mobile (but I could be wrong on that). You will almost certainly be looking for a licensed electrician to make the crossover connections under the home.
This is a standard fee at all electrical contractors. Call 2-3 electrical contractors and ask how much their’s is.
The one we used was $ 895 (parts, labor and permits), in SE MI
