It depends on the job, if you are installing an underground service, and the existing system is an overhead type, or the size of the service is much smaller, the price is not unreasonable for a qualified professional installation. The material for the panel, meter base, service entrance cable, grounding and breakers could be $2000, add 3-4 man days to do the work and the price is reasonable. Copper wire is very expensive right now and is not going to be cheaper in the near future.
