Default Electrician to install 2 x RCD's

Anyone know of a electrician that installs 2 x RCD's at a reasonable price?

Cheapest i've found is $350 for 2 RCD's, but the guy is booked out for a month.

FYI- lads i found KH Signature electrical in kewdale who will do 2 x RCD's for 315 (was 350 but they have 10% off for first time customers - ph: 0409 725 976

Would have liked to keep this in the community.

Mind you i phoned up a few places and the prices varied for 2 RCD installations. Quotes i got were:

315 (with 10% discount) normally 350
others were 350, 420, 440. one had a call out fee of $90 ontop

What would be a good price for termination of 4 powerpoints (cable already run with excess sitting in roof just waiting for temrination) ? One to be on its own dedicated circuit breaker?

do you have 2 hardwired smoke detectors also?
Alinta Assist does 2 RCD and 2 smoke detectors for $595
they charge more if your board is asbestos

if there are faults they charge $80 per hour to find and fix,

with the smoke detectors its not mandatory to have a fixed wire detector (athough most companies would lead you to believe).
you only need a fixed battery one (10 year lithium battery smoke detector) as long as the battery can not be removed its compliant to australian standards.

quote i got was $315 for 2x RCD's, $100 for fixed smoke detector (i opted to use 10year fixed battery lithium battery detector which was far cheaper $50 each from bunnings, two minute job to fit).

Best deal for fitting the RCD in Perth was a guy from Safety Switch who installed the RCD for $130 each and got rid of the old fuses, reckons best to get rid of them altogether.
