What an electrical estimate should say
A clear electrical estimate names the load, the panel plan and the permit, and it says what happens if the existing panel cannot carry the new load.
| Field | Why it matters before the job |
|---|---|
| Load calculation result | It decides whether the price holds. |
| Panel work in or out | Say if a panel upgrade is in the price. |
| Who supplies the hardware | Name who buys the charger, fixtures or fan. |
| Permit and inspection | Say who pulls the permit and whether its fee is included. |
| Open wall work | Say if patch and paint are excluded. |
| Valid until | Set a date for the price. |
Estimate, quote or bid: Say what your paper means. Write "fixed price", or say how the price can change. Ask your state board or a lawyer what binds you. See estimate vs invoice.

Electrical estimate questions
Should I quote a panel upgrade inside a charger estimate?
Give it as a separate option. Let the customer accept each one apart.
Do customers need separate pricing for parts?
Ask your state revenue office if you should show parts apart, and use the tax choice on the form.
How much deposit should I ask for?
Base it on your material cost. Check your state before you enter the percent.
Should I call my price a bid or an estimate?
Use the word that your customer uses. Write the scope either way, and say if the price is fixed.
