Electrician quote template

Electrical work is regulated, technical and often invisible once finished, so your quote is where the customer decides whether to trust you. A good electrician quote lists every circuit, fixture and certificate, and explains in plain words what the work will make safe or possible.

What to include in a electrical job quote

  • Scope per circuit or room, not just 'rewire kitchen'
  • Materials: cable, breakers, fixtures (with specs)
  • Labour, either per point or per hour
  • Testing, inspection and certification
  • Making good: what you repair and what you leave to others
  • Access assumptions (attic, crawl space, occupied home)

Pricing tips for electricians

  • Price per point (socket, light, switch) for repeat work — it is easy to explain and quick to quote.
  • Always include testing and certification as a line item; it shows professionalism and justifies the price.
  • Offer good/better/best fixture options as separate quotes or optional lines.
  • Note that hidden faults found during work will be quoted before you fix them.

Electrician quote FAQ

What should an electrical quote include?

Scope per circuit or room, materials with specifications, labour, testing/certification, exclusions and a valid-until date.

Should I quote per hour or per job?

Per job (or per point) for well-defined work; per hour for fault finding. Many electricians combine both on one quote.

How do I handle unknowns in old wiring?

Add a clear clause that faults found during the work will be priced and approved before you proceed.
