Electrical Quote Template
Panel, circuits, devices and permit priced line by line. Free PDF, no sign-up.
Wiring a defined scope is quotable work: the circuits are countable, the devices are countable, and the panel is either big enough or it is not. What an electrician cannot see is inside the walls, so a fixed price has to say what it assumed about them. Quote the count and the assumption in the same document, and the one thing that could reopen the price is written down before anyone finds it.

What this quote commits you to
- How long it stands
- 21 days, tied to the copper price on the day it was written — wire is the one line on this job that moves weekly.
- What it does not cover
- Drywall patching and painting after the chases are cut, and the utility's own charge for a service disconnect and reconnect.
- What would change the price
- Anything the walls hide: knob-and-tube, aluminium branch circuits, or a panel of a recalled type that nobody will supply breakers for.
- How the client accepts it
- Return the signed quote before the permit is filed; the application carries the scope from it word for word.

What to put on an electrical quote
- Circuits by count and by rating — a 20A kitchen circuit is not a 15A bedroom circuit
- Devices itemised: receptacles, switches, dimmers, AFCI and GFCI breakers
- Panel work stated as a load calculation result, not as an opinion
- Whether the utility has to disconnect and reconnect, and who pays their charge
- The permit and the rough-in and final inspections as their own lines
- The wire the price assumes — copper priced on the day the quote was written
- What happens if knob-and-tube or aluminium branch wiring turns up behind a wall
Questions
Can an electrician give a fixed price without opening the walls?
For a defined scope, yes — and the honest way to do it is to state the wiring method the price assumes. "Priced on the existing branch circuits being copper NM cable" turns an unknown into a named condition instead of a surprise.
Why does an electrical quote expire faster than other trades'?
Copper. Wire is the one material on the job that moves week to week, so a three-week validity on a rewire is realistic and a ninety-day one is a bet you did not mean to place.
Should the permit fee be marked up?
Pass it through at cost on its own line and charge your time to file and attend separately. Homeowners can look up the fee schedule, and a marked-up permit is the line that makes them doubt the rest of the document.
