I am installing a chiller/heater for my pool. I am responsible for the electricity. I know nothing about electricity, but I am told it will need a 60 amp breaker. The breaker box is external and on the same wall as my pool equipment. The length to run the wire is approximately 60 feet long. Any ideas what I should expect to pay both union and non-union prices?Thanks.

Good on you for not burying a walmart extension cord. I don't know the prices in your area, but you will sleep and play better knowing it was done right.
Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.
Depends on how many union guys are leaning on the shovels, taking a break all day.
Somewhere around $750.00

Hi Mike.
I don't know. It was a joke.

They told me they have a $1,500 allowance, but it shouldn't be that high. $750 sounds much better.

Too many variables but I think you’re probably close to $700 in material alone.

Go ahead and lay an extra pipe and pull cord for later us, since you'll already have the trench in.

220, 2 hots and a neutral would be black/red/white + bare or green for ground
Why trench? Everything is on the same wall. 60 amp chiller doubt it needs a neutral
Current electricity is run through a plastic pipe along the wall.

6 gauge wire, if in conduit, thhn #6. 2 blacks, white, green. Green doesn't have to be a 6, maybe not the white (local codes and NEC If the controls are electronic for the equipment you will need a neutral. Romex should be 4 wire, black, red, white, green or bare. Don't remember NEC off top of my head.

What size conduit is already there? How many circuits already in conduit. Still doubt you need a white, likely has a control transformer that’s rated for 240v. #6 is likely good along with a 10 green. Chiller/heater will likely have a bonding lug on it. Needs to bond to your other pool equipment
1". Not sure about the circuits.

He didn't say if it was 220 or 110, but did mention 60 Amps so assume 220.

Material $…. Double the price of it….Add 12-15% for labor regular guy makings a living…. Add 75-90% for union not better work but have been told they do they owe dues and always paying when someone passes away. Crazy.
I'll simplify it for you. Find a insured electrician.
