Sean, get some sleep man. Running electrical wiring horizontally through a few studs is not as difficult as you might think.

Worst case is that a few holes are cut in the wall and then patched and painted. Best case he is really skilled and has the right tools and once the hole is cut for the new outlet he has a long snake drill bit and can do arthroscopic surgery on the wall and not even touch the drywall.

Depending on your contract you might be responsible for the patching and painting. Just discuss the method to be used with the installer on-site before allowing them to proceed.
