  • It can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 to have an electrician install or add an extra electrical outlet, depending on the complexity of the job and the location of the outlet.For a standard home installation, outlets are typically installed every 12 feet along walls. If you need an outlet installed in a specific location (like under a cabinet), it will likely cost more since it'll be a more complex job. The price also goes up if you need an electrician to run new wiring for the outlet.If you're comfortable doing some basic electrical work yourself, there are plenty of online tutorials that can show you how to add an extra outlet yourself for around $20-30.

    It costs around $200 to have an electrician install an extra electrical outlet in your home. In general, electricians charge by the hour, and it usually takes them about 2 hours to add an extra electrical outlet. However, the cost may vary depending on your location and the complexity of the job. For example, if your home has already been wired for extra outlets and you just need someone to come in and connect them, it will likely take less time (and therefore cost less money).
