Electrician estimate FAQ
What should an electrician estimate include?
Every electrician estimate should include: your license and insurance details, itemized labor and materials, permit and inspection costs, payment terms, an expiration date for the price, and a signature line. A signature turns your estimate into documented agreement — that is what protects you when scope disputes come up later.
Should I charge for estimates as an electrician?
For quick residential service calls, free estimates win more work — speed matters more. For larger jobs (panel upgrades, rewires) that need load calculations or plans, a paid assessment that is credited back on booking filters out tire-kickers and pays for your time.
How do I get an electrician estimate signed on the spot?
Present the estimate while you are still on site, walk the customer through each line, and ask for approval directly. Contractors who get a signature before leaving close significantly more jobs than those who email a PDF days later. An app like QuoteSeal lets the customer sign on your phone on the spot.
