What goes on an electrical invoice

Four details make this an electrical invoice rather than a generic one. Each has its number in the sample’s margin, from the top of the page down.

  1. 1

    License and permit numbers

    The contractor license and this job’s permit, #E-24-01187, both under the address. A new circuit often needs a permit, and a buyer or an insurer asking about the panel years from now will look for that number first.

  2. 2

    The code section behind the work

    The Code record cites NEC 210.8(A), the rule behind GFCI protection for bathroom outlets. It tells the customer the two GFCI outlets on the bill were required work, not an extra.

  3. 3

    Inspection status

    Final inspection scheduled. Once it passes, write the date in, and the invoice becomes the customer’s record that the work was inspected and approved.

  4. 4

    Wire, breaker and circuit

    Each circuit gets a row: its slot in the panel, the breaker, the wire and what it serves. Slot 14, a new 20A breaker on 12/2 NM-B, feeds the home office, and the next electrician to open the panel reads that here instead of tracing it.

Electrical invoice questions

What should an electrical invoice include?

An electrical invoice should include your contractor license number, permit numbers, a description of the work performed, wire types and sizes, breaker specifications, inspection status, and code references for any code-required work.

Do I need to include permit information on electrical invoices?

Yes, whenever the job needed a permit. Include the permit number, the inspection date and whether the work passed, so both you and the customer have a record that the work was inspected.

How should I itemize electrical work?

Break down each circuit or task separately. List the wire type and length, the devices installed (outlets, switches, fixtures), the breakers added, and the labor for each task.
