Is $1,500 to run additional wiring for 220/240v pool sub-panel a fair price?
Project Details
I am upgrading to a variable speed pump, but my current sub-panel for the pool is only wired for 110/120v. I purchased a 220v pump before I realized the mistake and was going to exchange it for a 110v pump, but the 110v models seem to cost twice as much. Now I'm debating which is the better long-term solution. A friend has the 220v 'circupool' (an off-brand) that has been performing well; that pump was $800. The intelliflow 110v is $1600.

Install a Hayward variable speed pool pump
Quote for installing a Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP) for a 28,000-gallon pool. The existing pump is a 1hp single-speed unit. The pool builder claims the electrical, plumbing, and programming for a VSP are more complex than a single-speed pump. The homeowner notes that the pump itself costs $1400-$1500, implying a significant labor cost of over $2000 for the swap. The pool is a traditional chlorine pool with a sand filter, and it lacks a salt water generator (SWG), automation, or a timer, currently using a simple on/off switch.
