Electrical Invoice Template
An electrician's invoice often goes to a homeowner, a landlord or a builder, and each wants something slightly different. Clear labour, materials and certification lines suit all three.
Example line items for electrical work
These are examples of how to word lines, not prices. Use your own rates.
Labour, per hour
State hours and rate, or a fixed price if you quoted one.
Materials: cable, fittings, consumer unit
List the main items rather than one lump.
Testing and certification
Show it as its own line when it is part of the job.
Call-out or minimum charge
Make a minimum charge visible if you have one.
Specialist equipment hire
Include it only if you are passing the cost on.
What to put on a electrical work invoice
- The address of the installation
- A description of what was installed or repaired
- The quote or job reference it relates to
- Any certificate numbers that go with the work
- Your registration or licence details where required
For the basics every invoice needs, see what to put on an invoice.
Payment terms
For larger jobs, stage payments are common: a deposit, a payment at first fix and a balance on completion. Invoice each stage separately and name the stage on the line.
Type Net 30 (or Net 7, Net 15) in the Payment terms box and the due date fills in. Payment terms explained.
Questions
- Can I invoice in stages?
- Yes. Make one invoice per stage and describe the stage on the line, for example Deposit, First fix or Final balance, so the customer sees how the total builds up.
- How do I handle a fixed-price quote?
- Use one line with the quoted price and a short description, and add separate lines for any agreed extras that were outside the quote.
