This prices the residential jobs a homeowner asks about most, adding a receptacle, a ceiling fan on an existing box, a dedicated 20-amp circuit, a 200-amp panel upgrade and a Level 2 EV charger circuit, from your billing rate, your material markup and the hours and materials you enter for each. The result is a residential price list you can put on the website or hand to the customer, priced the same way as the rest of your book rather than guessed against the competition.
Publish the price, not the discount
A residential price list on the website answers the question the homeowner is going to ask on the phone anyway, and it answers it with your number rather than a rival's. Price the list from the same rate and markup as the book, so the figure on the website is the figure on the invoice. A list that is lower than the book is a discount you did not decide to give.
The panel upgrade is the anchor the others hang off
The panel upgrade is the largest residential job most shops sell and the one the homeowner has usually already priced elsewhere. Price it honestly from the hours and the equipment, and the smaller jobs read as reasonable next to it. The page makes it the headline figure for that reason.
State what is and is not in the price
A dedicated circuit price that does not say how far the run is, or a charger price that does not say whether the panel has the capacity, is an argument on site. The list should say the assumptions; the page's hours and materials fields are where you decide them, and the printed list should carry them.
Residential electrician price list: common questions
Is this a free residential electrician price list?
Yes: the five prices and the labor hours are computed here for free with no account, and you can print the list. BreakerDesk Pro holds the list against your account with your branding and keeps it in step with the price book when the rate changes.
Should I put prices on my website?
For the common residential jobs, most shops that do it find it filters out the callers who were never going to pay the rate and reassures the ones who will. Publish assumptions with the prices, and re-price from this page when your costs change.
What is included in a panel upgrade price?
Whatever you put in the hours and materials fields: the panel, the breakers, the grounding and bonding, the meter work, the permit and the inspection time. The page prices what you enter; the printed list should say what that is.
