How electricians charge

Electricians typically charge a service call plus labor by the hour, or a flat price per task such as installing a fixture or outlet. Panel upgrades and rewiring are usually quoted as a project and invoiced in stages.

Permit and inspection fees should be their own lines, with the permit number in the detail, so the customer can see what went to the city or county. Whether a passed-through fee is taxable depends on your state.

Small jobs often carry a minimum charge, such as one hour, because the drive and setup cost the same for one outlet as for three. If you charge a higher rate after hours, bill the labor at that rate and say when the call came in.

Electrical invoice details

  • Electrical license number. Near your business name, wherever your state or city licenses electricians.
  • Permit number. In the detail of the permit fee line.
  • Job address. The building wired, if it is not where the bill goes.
  • Materials. Wire, breakers, fixtures and devices, listed singly or grouped by type.
  • Labor. Hours at your rate, or flat prices per task.
  • Inspection result. The date it passed, in the notes.

From work order to invoice

  1. Copy the job from the work order. Put the work order number in the notes so both papers match.
  2. Bill the call and the labor. Service call first, then labor hours or the flat task price.
  3. List materials by device or by run. Panel and breakers on one line, wire and connectors on another, or one line per fixture.
  4. Add the permit. Fee on its own line, permit number in the detail.
  5. Send it after the final inspection. Note the pass date, pick the terms and download the PDF.

Wiring and a panel that become part of a building fall under Ohio's construction contract rule, which is why the sample shows no tax: the electrician pays it on the equipment when buying it. If your state taxes the materials on the invoice, tick those lines.

Payment terms: Net 15

A dental office is the client here, on Net 15. Businesses tend to pay through their own approval process, while homeowners more often settle up once the work passes inspection.

Panel upgrades start with a quote

Quote panel upgrades and rewires in writing with the electrician estimate template before you order equipment. A customer who pays in person can get a electrician receipt on the spot.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invoice a panel upgrade in stages?
Send an estimate with a deposit, then invoice the deposit, a progress amount at rough-in if you use one, and the balance after final inspection. Record each payment under Payments received so every invoice shows what is left.
Is an electrical work order the same as an invoice?
No. A work order describes and authorizes the job before or during the work, and the customer often signs it. The invoice comes after, billing the labor, materials and fees.
How do I invoice a flat-rate electrical job?
Use one line per task with quantity 1 and your flat price, for example install ceiling fan. Add materials as separate lines if they are not included in the flat price.
Should I bill for a failed inspection revisit?
If your estimate or contract says so, add the return trip as its own line with the reason in the detail. If the failure was your workmanship, most electricians absorb it.
