Most electrical contractors charge a minimum of $350-$600 per job. If the electrical breaker box is near the kitchen then the minimum charge may cover the whole job. If wires need to be run a long way to get to the kitchen, then the charge could be much more.

My boss is a master electrician and gets upwards of $50.00 per hour. We only get $25.00 to $30.00 I figure a 4 hour job with a Master and helper would be about $320.00 plus parts. I would guess about another $150.00 for parts. If there is already an Electrician on site it may be cheaper as he is already there and only has to run a 50amp line for the stove. I would guess in the vicinity of $450.00
