What to Include in a Electrical Estimate
Electrical work is heavily inspected, so your estimate doubles as project documentation. Keep it precise:
- Specify wire gauge and type (14/2 Romex for 15A, 12/2 for 20A). Inspectors check this, and it shows customers you know code.
- Call out GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors — code requires them. Listing them explicitly avoids "I thought that was included" conversations.
- For panel upgrades, note the panel size (100A vs. 200A), brand, and include a load calculation. It's required in most jurisdictions anyway.
- Clarify who provides light fixtures. "Fixture allowance: $X" or "homeowner-supplied" prevents misunderstandings at install time.
- Include permits and inspection fees. Electrical work requires them almost everywhere, and leaving them off looks unprofessional.
- Note any existing code violations you spot during the walkthrough and whether fixing them is in scope. Document it now or deal with it during inspection.

Common Questions
How do I estimate electrical costs?+
Count the number of circuits, outlets, switches, and fixtures. Calculate wire footage based on runs from the panel. Add labor hours for rough-in and finish, plus panel work if applicable. Include permits and inspection fees. Residential electrical work typically costs $50-$100 per outlet/switch point installed.
What markup should I charge for electrical work?+
Licensed electricians typically mark up 40-60%. Electrical work carries significant liability (fire risk), requires ongoing education and expensive insurance. Your hourly rate should be $75-$150+ depending on your market and experience level.
What should an electrical estimate include?+
Include wire type and gauge, number of circuits, all devices (outlets, switches, fixtures), panel work, permit and inspection fees, a load calculation for panel upgrades, and clear scope boundaries (who provides fixtures, what's excluded). Include your license number.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?+
In most jurisdictions, yes. Any new circuits, panel changes, or significant alterations require a permit and inspection. Always include permit and inspection fees in your estimate. Working without a permit exposes you to liability and can create problems for the homeowner at resale.
