A dead panel, an EV charger on the garage wall, a string of outlets in a remodel — the wiring is only half the job; getting paid is the other half. Workeey turns a finished electrical job into an invoice in one tap, with parts, labor, permit fees and photos already in place. See the full electrician toolkit.
Electrical invoices carry more than wire and hours. Put the permit fee on its own line, the inspection on another, and your diagnostic or troubleshooting charge separate from the actual fix — because finding the fault is real work whether or not the customer hires you to correct it. Each is a line item you price yourself, and Workeey totals them with the tax.
That separation protects you when a customer wants the $95 diagnostic waived because 'it was just a breaker.' It's on the invoice as its own number, sent, and part of the record. The invoice starts from the job you finished, so the client and address are already filled in. See how invoicing works everywhere in the app.
A service upgrade, a subpanel or an EV charger install ties up hundreds in gear before you show up. Bill the deposit as its own invoice first: set the amount, send the pay link, and don't order the panel until it clears. The customer pays by card or bank transfer, and you're not fronting the distributor out of your own account.
Invoice the balance when the inspection passes — the deposit already sits in the client's payment history, so the remaining number is obvious to both of you. Connect your own Stripe once and every invoice carries a pay link; card runs about 3% plus 30 cents, bank transfer near 1%. More on payments.
Most electricians don't bill an outlet by the minute — they charge a flat rate per device. Add a line for each: so many receptacles, so many switches, so many can lights, plus the panel or the run. Then add the materials — wire by the foot, breakers, boxes, the fixture the customer picked — at your price with your markup already in it.
Mix flat-rate and hourly on the same invoice when a job needs both — a clean install priced per device and an hour of chasing a ground fault billed by time. Every line totals itself, tax included, and the invoice is numbered automatically so your books stay straight. It flows from your day's scheduling.
A panel shot before and after, a buried junction box you found hidden behind drywall, the gauge of wire you actually pulled — these are proof for the customer and a record for the inspector. Snap them on the job in the app and they attach to the invoice, so a homeowner staring at a rewire bill can see the mess that was behind their wall.
The photo lives on the invoice and in the client's file, which matters when a landlord or a GC questions the work months later. For the invoices that go unpaid, automatic email reminders chase the balance on a schedule in a tone you set once. Text reminders are coming; email works today. See pricing for the reminder caps.
Yes. Add the diagnostic or troubleshooting charge as its own line item, separate from the fix. Finding the fault is billable work, and it stays on the invoice as its own number whether or not the customer approves the repair.
Bill the deposit as its own invoice up front and wait for it to clear before ordering gear. When the inspection passes, invoice the balance — the deposit already shows in the client's payment history.
Yes. Each goes on its own line at the price you set, and Workeey adds the tax and totals. Nothing forces a permit into the labor number where the customer can't see it.
Photos you snap on the job attach to the invoice as proof of work and stay in the client's file. Before-and-after panel shots help with both the customer and the inspector.
