An outlet to run a larger 220-volt outlet requires larger wire. That means the cost of this operation is a little higher.

A skilled electrician can install a single-pole switch in less than 30 minutes. Wire, a switch, a cover plate a box is needed for this installation.
1 If outlets are added as part of a larger project, such as upgrading an electrical panel or wiring, the cost per outlet could be on the lower end of the scale; if an electrician comes in just to add one outlet, the minimum charge might be higher than the range estimated above. These are at the higher end of the scale, or it's about $60-$125 to replace an existing standard outlet with a GFCI receptacle. 2  If existing circuits don't have the capacity for another outlet, running a new 120V circuit off the electrical panel adds another $150-$250.
