1 extra hour @ $120

My estimate would be about $567, if the job is easy and goes smooth you could possibly shave off the extra hour for a super quick swap. If the sparky is climbing in the attic running a new duct then yeah they'll need the extra hour.
Why the extra hour if it's a simple replacement? That job is literally a 15 minute job. 2 hours minimum charge is more than enough.

I'm a contractor and I'm not cheap but that quote is an overcharge if it's a simple replacement.

That is such a simple job that anyone with even basic knowledge could do it themselves in 30 minutes or less. An electrician will do it in 10-15 minutes.
