From panel upgrades to service calls

The Invoice and Estimate App for Electricians

Panel upgrades and EV charger installs are won on the estimate. Build an itemized quote at the panel, get it signed from the customer's phone, and send the invoice before the ladder is back on the truck. WorkSnap Pro is built for licensed electricians doing service and remodel work.

Where Billing Goes Wrong for Electricians

The trade runs on quotes, permits, and inspections. Most invoicing tools understand none of the three, so the paperwork falls behind the work.

Quoting on-site is slow

Calculating panel upgrades, circuits, and labor takes time you don't have. A 200A service upgrade quote has to cover the panel, breakers, wire by the foot, the permit, and labor. Add it up on the tailgate with a calculator and the homeowner is already comparing you to the bid that landed in their inbox an hour ago.

Paper invoices get lost

Handwritten invoices disappear in the truck or never get sent. The ticket you scribbled after tracing a dead kitchen circuit rides around in the van until Friday. Some never reach the customer at all, and troubleshooting you already did becomes revenue you never collect.

Chasing payments wastes time

Following up on unpaid invoices cuts into billable hours. You passed final inspection weeks ago, but the remodel balance is still open. Every reminder text you type is time you are not spending pulling wire on the next job.

How WorkSnap Helps Electricians

From the first walkthrough to the balance after final inspection, WorkSnap keeps the money side of electrical work moving while you stay on the tools.

Estimates that win quote-first work

Panel upgrades and EV charger installs get shopped around before anyone books. Build an itemized estimate on your phone while you are still standing at the panel, and send it before the competing bids show up. If it sits unsigned, Quote Nudge follows up automatically after 2 and 5 days by default.

E-signature approval before you open a wall

The customer signs the estimate from their own phone. WorkSnap records their name, email, and a timestamp with the approval, so scope and price are agreed in writing before the first cable gets pulled.

Change orders when the inspector moves the goalposts

When an inspection turns up corrections or code requires more than you quoted, document the added work as a change order and get it signed before you continue. Approved changes roll into the invoice. Available on paid plans.

Materials and labor on separate lines

Price breakers, wire by the foot, and fixtures as their own line items with labor split out. Customers see what the materials cost versus the work, and saved items reprice the next quote in a few taps.

Photo records for inspections and permits

Attach photos of the panel interior, grounding, and junction boxes to the job before the drywall goes back up. When a permit question surfaces later, the documentation lives on the job, not in a camera roll.

Payments without the chasing

Send the invoice from the panel room and let the customer pay by card through Stripe, PayPal, or Square before the ladder is back on the truck. If they wait, reminders go out at 3, 7, 14, and 30 days without you lifting a finger.

Questions Electricians Ask

Can customers sign estimates from their phone?

Yes. Send the estimate and the customer opens it on their phone, reviews the line items, and approves with an e-signature. WorkSnap records their name, email, and a timestamp with the approval, so you have a clear record that scope and price were agreed before you open a wall or order the panel.

How do change orders work when an inspection changes the job?

Create a change order that documents the added work, for example corrections the inspector requires before final. The customer reviews and signs it before you continue, and approved change orders can be added to the invoice so the final bill matches what was actually agreed. Change orders are available on WorkSnap Pro paid plans.

Can I separate materials and labor on estimates and invoices?

Yes. Add breakers, wire by the foot, fixtures, and labor as separate line items with their own quantities and prices. Saved items can be reused across jobs, so a typical panel upgrade or charger install quote comes together in a few taps instead of a rebuild from scratch.

Can I keep photos for inspection and permit records?

Yes. Jobs in WorkSnap Pro support photo attachments, so you can photograph the panel interior, grounding, and boxes before cover-up and keep the record with the job. If a question comes up at final inspection or after the permit closes, the photos are right there.
