Well, It depends on how much electricy to use, or if you want to sign a lengthy contract.\n\nA Good website (that I would recommend you visit) is\nhttp://www.powertochoose.org/

For the time and effort you would spend in something like stuffing envelopes, you might as well go around picking up aluminum cans and recycling them for the cash. Seriously, the work is not rewarding at all. \n\nI knew some folks in Oklahoma who did hand-assembly of electrical parts at home. Hardly paid anything. Greeter at Walmart makes more. \n\nThere may be other home-based businesses that do make money, to check them out try the Better Business Bureau or Google seach on their name.\n\nDo not try things like Amway or other multi-level marketing companies. They too are scams.

I would charge from $15 to $20 the hour. Even if they have money all should have a fair price!!!

I'd highly suggest looking in your local Yellow PAges and finding your IBEW local. I'm not sure of the length of apprenticeship there, but it's only four years in Virginia and when you're done you're making almost $24.00 an hour, with free health and vision insurance, plus a retirement program. If you're not inclined to unions, there are plenty of non-union shops who will train and employ you as an electrician. I do know that you recieve a degree if you go the union route. I suggest checking your local community colleges for a two year electrical engineering degree as well.

Any time you want to start; be sure you know the local licensing requirements. Then be sure to contact your agent about Bonding and Liabilty insurance. Find some partners unless your extremely proficient in your choosen area. Start small and don't over extend unless you have 100 / 200K$ to float around for parts and labor. Best advice is to go slow and pass alot of bussiness cards around. Your reputation is your best salesman. I know I have my own electrical bussiness and have decided to keep it small after alot of suffering and nights of worrying.

Check out Summit Electric Supply in North Dallas (near Harry Hines, I believe), or in Ft. Worth.  I haven't been to these locations but in my location there are a lot of quiet people working.  The normal progression is warehouse to counter sales to inside sales (it's a distributor), though, so you should pretend to be interested in sales or warehouse operations, whichever offers the better opportunities.  If you jump and show initiative I think that would be more important than being buddies with everybody.\n\nGood luck.

This would depend on the site and amount of work to be carried out, mail me at shaun@sdhinternet.co.uk with the  details and will let you know what the cost would be

Assuming you're in the UK then it varies depending on whether you pay as you go (key meter) or are billed monthly or quarterly.  It also varies as between suppliers.\n\nHowever as a general guide EDF (Formerly London Electricity) charge 15.11p per day as a standing charge and 9.60p per KW hour for the electricity you use.  \n\nIf one forgets the 15.11p daily charge then burning 10 100 watt light bulbs for one hour will cost you 9.60p.  Which is the same as having used 1000 watts of electricity.

Sounds like you're getting scammed. Does someone want you to wire them money?

Talk to the post office about a mailing address. Talk to the power company (probably an elec coop) about cost for electric service (they usually run a certain amount of line free and you pay for the rest), get some quotes on a septic system from contractors who install such systems. They will run the perk test as a part of the cost. The septic system will probably cost $2,000 to $6,000. The water line you will probably have to run from the road yourself. \n\nA lot of times you can get rough estimates over the phone from good contractors.

If you have the know how you could do this yourself, but check with your house insurance and you'll probably find if there should be a fire at some point they would not be responsible for damages unless this electrical work was done by a licensed electrician. Good luck with your project

That is a very interesting question. I have just recieved my Apprentice Electrician license. I don't make much more than the average person right now. But the Journymen I work with make a very good living. The amount you can make depends on the area you are in. Here in Orange Texas Journymen make 18 to 22 dollors an hour.

More than likely you can come close, research! Look for what you want done, and find out what kind of materials you will need, write all of this down, and then go pricing materials, on the internet or in Home Depot. Add that plus what it would cost for labor if you intend to hire and you will have an approx. price.
