Filling it in for an electrical job
- Add your business and your customer. Type your business name, then the customer's name and their cell or email, and the job address.
- List the job line by line at your own prices. For example: "Replace 100A panel with 200A panel", "AFCI breakers x6", "Permit". Labor can be a job price or hours. Not sure of one? Leave it empty: it shows Needs price and can't go out at zero.
- Tap Send to customer and sign up. Nothing to type again. Your customer gets the estimate as a link, signs online and pays any deposit straight to you.
The example electrical lines are marked Sample price. Keep them or set your own before anything goes out.
What your customer sees
The preview shows what your customer gets. Download PDF gives you a printable copy. On their phone they see your business name, each line with your price, the tax line, the total, and a deposit if you turned one on. Then they sign. The FTC tells homeowners to look for a contractor's license number on the paperwork, so add yours in Settings after you sign up.
The deposit switch stays off until you turn it on. It can help when you order a panel or charger before the job. You choose how customers pay you after you sign up.
Tips for electrical pricing
- Price the outcome. "EV charger installed and ready to use" with the lines underneath is easier to say yes to than a list of parts.
- List the permit separately. Customers see that it is a real cost, not padding.
- Write the exclusions. Patching drywall, utility fees or trenching are common surprises; name them in the line they belong to, such as "New circuit to garage (trenching not included)".
- Cover what testing might find. Tell the customer before they sign how you'll price faults found once the panel is open.
- Watch the valid-until date. Copper and equipment prices move. The maker puts a valid-until date on the estimate, so an old price can't come back to you.

Questions
Is the electrical estimate maker free?
Yes. Fill in an electrical estimate and download it as a PDF without signing up or giving an email. To send it to a customer for signature, you create an account at that step. No card is needed to start.
How do I explain electrical work so the customer understands it?
Describe the result, not just the parts: "Upgrade panel to 200A so the new EV charger and AC can run at the same time". Then list the materials and labor underneath. Customers sign what they understand.
Should I put my license number on the estimate?
Yes, if your state licenses electricians. Homeowners are told to look for it. After you sign up, add it once in Settings and it shows on every estimate.
Can my customer sign the electrical estimate online?
Yes. You send it as a link by text or email. Your customer opens the estimate on their phone, checks each line and the total, and signs it there. They don't need an app or an account.
What if a line still needs a price?
Leave it empty. It shows Needs price, and the estimate can't be sent with a blank or zero price. Fill it in once you've checked the supplier, then send.
