Reference the inspection result on your invoice
If the job was inspected and passed, note 'Final electrical inspection passed — [date]' on the invoice. This adds professional credibility and helps the homeowner document the work.
Offer a maintenance agreement upsell at invoicing
When sending an invoice to a residential client, offer an annual electrical check-up for $150–$200. One yes out of five creates predictable annual revenue.
Send invoices via email with PDF attachment
Paper invoices get lost. Email a PDF and follow up with a text the same day. Digital invoices with online payment links get paid 2–3× faster than mailed paper invoices.
For residential work, require 50% upfront on any job over $1,500 — this covers your materials. Balance due on completion. For commercial work with GCs, Net-30 is typical; push for Net-15 when negotiating your subcontract. Always get deposit terms in writing before ordering materials.
Include: a description of work completed, hours × rate, materials at markup, permit fee, and a 'project notes' line describing any scope changes or conditions found during work. Photo documentation of the completed panel work or rough-in is especially valuable for large jobs.
Yes — permit pull and inspection coordination is billable time. Include it as a line item ('Permit acquisition and inspection coordination — 2 hrs × $120/hr'). Clients rarely push back once they understand permits require your physical presence and paperwork time.
Contact the client before going over budget, not after. If you hit your estimated hours with 30% of work remaining, send a change order immediately. A brief call ('We found the wiring was older than expected — I need 2 more hours to do this safely') is far better received than an invoice that's 40% higher than the estimate.
