Is AI the reason why I contacted 9 electricians to do a simple 1h outlet install with only 1 response? The one guy that answered me said “I really dont know why no one accepted your job, its an easy $600”

Obviously that one guy is unaware of the current easy $140k options on the table.

You probably didn’t get any interest in the job because it’s too small to be a good use of their time. It’s a common problem for homeowners who need small jobs done by pretty much any type of tradesperson. There’s more work than there are electricians.

It’s also doubled my electric bills.
