FL Re: 118 Second Ave Fort Walton Beach, FL Dear Mary Cox At your request an evaluation for the additional charge, submitted by 3D Finishers Inc., on the address listed above was completed. The upgrade on electrical service to accommodate new central heat and air unit is required. The electrical upgrade was not in original work write-ups due to an over- site in the cost estimation process. Our cost estimate for the electricaJ upgrade is $ 1, 500,00. Based on other variables that may be involved with the upgrade of service and excessive storage in the horne, the additionaJ $ 1, 835. 00 for the upgrade is reasonable and recommended.
