200 would be fair, and yes the electrician should have no problem move the coax around.

We are planning to mount a 42 inch television to a wall in the future. In order for the wires to be hidden we will need an electric outlet higher on the wall than the current one. We want to leave the old outlet and old cable outlet in place in case of future use. What is a ballpark figure that an electrician will charge to install a new outlet? As to how we will handle the cable wire, our cable is already looped and split many times in the house (done that way before we moved in) so we don't want to degrade the signal any more than it already is. I found this solution to extend the cable up the wall by putting two of these in to run the cable wire up the wall. http://www.cableorganizer.c...ll-plates/


Is there an easier way to do it? Will an electrician mess with cable wires? I'd just like to get some ideas and what to expect cost wise for the new electrical outlet before we decide to move forward with the project.
