You mean a disconnect for a heat pump? They're quite simple.
I don't know the laws I your region, but where I am you need to be a licensed electrician to do it, but the work itself is straightforward.

Thanks sir, sounds like I'd sub it out. Any ideas of where market rate is for that? Say 40 Amp and a 15ft run?
My pleasure.
I don't know your market.
Every situation is unique.
I always assess everything related to it and then give six options, typically, from the best, most thorough, and most permanent solution to the simplest and most economical.
Most basic (from me) might be 500 to 1000 if everything related to the work is already in fine condition and working order.
Sometimes the situation might require so much to be done before the task at hand is even doable. For instance if your system is already overloaded and needs to be upgraded before more can even be added to it in the first place it can be multiple thousands.
If you find a shitty electrician you could get it pretty cheap though! Couple hundred lol
That being said I know some great electricians that waaay under price themselves.. so you light get lucky too.
Make sure you find someone you can trust.

Thanks for all of the insight. I'd probably just try to snipe the electrician the small company I work for already sub contracts depending on his pricing for me.
Working out specifics mentally right now before I can confidently go out on my own.
Kind of a hard decision right now for a bitcoiner in the trades between opportunity cost of putting capital into tools, and equipment rather than just holding coin with no stress. One would make me get a much bigger fiat shovel longterm, just don't know if that means I'll win in btc terms. Maybe I'm too bullish on this pet rock though.
I started my own business last year. It take smoney to make money, for sure. You're risking something either way. You risk the first now or you risk never taking the opportunity.
You might be able to work out an agreement where you run the wires and let them install the equipment and do the connections.. depends on what they're comfortable with. Getting the cable from point A to point B can be the most time consuming part and labor is the most expensive part of any job.
Though a good electrician should still ALWAYS assess the panel/system before adding to it.
