Priced at the panel

An electrical estimate is written after looking at what is there: a 100 A panel with no spaces left, a kitchen circuit that trips, a long run to the garage for a charger. The proposal carries the panel, the breakers, the hours and the permit, and the deposit on it pays for the panel before the power-off day is booked.

The proposal, sent from the meter
Each line is priced from something Nate found with the cover off, and carries its number: the 100 A main, the twenty full spaces, the meter socket, the one ground rod. Sent at 5:40, from the side of the house.
The deposit buys the panel
The homeowners accept and pay the $1,600 deposit on their phone. It buys the panel, the breakers and the meter socket, ordered the next morning.
A whole day, the power off
A panel swap is a day for two: the power off at 8:00, and back on when the city’s inspector passes it at 1:30. It goes on Nate and Ari’s Tuesday.
Priced from what it cost
When the balance is paid, each line’s cost sits under its price: the panel and parts made $919, the fourteen hours $770, the permit passed through. The next upgrade is quoted from that.

Questions about electrical estimate software

Can electricians take a deposit on an estimate?

Yes. A panel upgrade, EV charger or rewire proposal can ask for a deposit, paid by card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo or Cash App when the customer accepts.

Are there free electrical estimate templates?

Yes. Business Genie has free electrical estimate templates for pricing a job by hand. In the app, the estimate is sent from the job with its deposit request.

Free electrical estimate templates

What happens to a quote the customer hasn’t answered?

Business Genie sends automated follow-ups, so a panel upgrade or EV charger quote doesn’t depend on someone remembering to call back.

Can I see which electrical jobs make money?

Yes. Job costing shows what each job cost you against what you charged, so you can see whether service calls, panel upgrades or EV chargers pay best, and price the next one from it.
