Electrical estimate template
A clear electrical estimate says what you will do, how much of it, and what it costs, so the customer can say yes without a phone call. Use the example below as a starting point. You can copy it, or build and send it from GetProSpace in a few minutes.
Example: electrical panel upgrade
Lines marked optional are add-ons the customer can choose, and they are not in the total until chosen.
| Item | Quantity | Price each | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replace the main panel with a 200 amp panel | 1 | — | $2,400 |
| Permit and inspection | 1 | — | $350 |
| Label and rewire existing circuits | 14 circuits | $45 | $630 |
| Whole-house surge protector Optional | 1 | — | $380 |
| Add outlets in the garage Optional | 3 outlets | $210 | $630 |
| Total | $3,380 | ||
These numbers are only an example to show the layout. They are not a price list and not advice on what to charge. Use your own costs and your local rates.
What to put in a electrical estimate
- The size and brand of the panel or the fixtures
- Each circuit or outlet to be added, moved or replaced
- The permit and inspection, and who arranges them
- What is not included, such as drywall repair or painting
- Whether power will be off, and for how long
- Your license number, where your area asks for it on the estimate
Mistakes that cost electricians money
- No list of circuits, so "while you are here" becomes unpaid work
- Closing up a wall before photographing the wiring
- Leaving the inspection off the schedule
- No note of power outages the customer must plan for
Send it from GetProSpace
In GetProSpace you build the estimate from lines like these, with packages and optional add-ons, and add your logo, license number and contact details. You send it by text from your business line or by email. The customer opens a link, chooses their options and accepts it online, with no account. You get a PDF as well.
When it is accepted, you can bill the deposit in one step, and the same job holds the contract, photos and invoices. See the electrical page for how a whole job runs, or the electrical invoice template.
Questions
How long should a electrical estimate be good for?
Long enough for the customer to decide, but short enough that material prices have not changed. A common choice is two to four weeks. In GetProSpace you set how many days an estimate is valid, and it stops being open after that.
Can the customer accept it online?
Yes. They open the link, review the estimate, choose any options and accept it with their name. You are told when they do.
Is this template really free?
Yes. Copy the example, or use the Markdown version of this page at the same address plus .md. You do not need an account.
