Installing an outlet yourself? Buy one for $10 or something, more if it's some special outlet, maybe spend an hour or two at most with the actual install.

Hire an electrician to install it for you? Between markups and labor, easily several hundred bucks at the very least. A thousand is entirely plausible.

Ignorance is expensive, knowing how things like electricity and plumbing work will save you money and help make life more fulfilling.
