I'm not sure about cost, but what I do know is this: For certain reasons (I forget exactly why), you will not be allowed to wire the boxes yourself. It will not pass an inspection. At the apartment dad owns, the circuit breakers for both apartments (2 family house with an upstairs and downstairs) was in the basement. Thus only those living in the downstairs part could access it. If a breaker shut off upstairs without anyone home down, it couldn't get turned on unless we came out there with the spare keys or they came home. Needless to say, dad put a second box for the upstairs. However, he had to have someone run the wire to the new box and wire the box. After that, dad rewired the circuits himself. I'm not sure how much it cost him to have the electrician come out and do it, and since he and I are not talking at the moment I won't be asking him.
