How to price it

  1. 1

    Walk the job first

    Count the outlets, measure the cable runs and check the panel before you price. Most surprises on electrical jobs are behind the wall.

  2. 2

    Hourly for the unknown, fixed for the known

    Give a fixed price for installs you know well and an hourly rate with an estimate of hours for fault-finding. Say which is which.

  3. 3

    Say how long the price holds

    Copper and breaker prices move. A 30-day validity date protects you if the client waits.

Questions

Should I charge for an electrical estimate?

Many electricians quote small jobs free and charge a service-call fee for fault-finding or large jobs, credited back if the client goes ahead. Put it on the estimate so it is clear.

Is this electrician estimate template free?

Yes. Download the PDF example for free. The Wow Invoice app is free to download too, and makes estimates and invoices on your phone.

How does my client accept the estimate?

You send it from the app by text or email, and the client signs it to say yes. Then you turn it into an invoice with one tap.

Can I turn the estimate into an invoice?

Yes. When the client says yes, turn the estimate into an invoice with one tap, with the same items and prices.
