When to use and what to include
Draft the approach, timeline, and pricing online, then generate a proposal PDF for review. Use this when electrical work such as a whole-house rewire, service upgrade, or lighting retrofit requires the existing condition, proposed system, assumptions, schedule, and price in one document.
What to include
- Current system assessment: service size, panel condition, wiring type and age, load analysis showing current demand vs. capacity, and code deficiencies found.
- Recommended solution with rationale: why a 200A upgrade is needed, why AFCI breakers on all bedroom circuits, or why LED retrofit saves more than relamping — backed by numbers.
- Scope of work narrative: demolition, rough-in, panel installation, circuit mapping, device trim, testing, and inspection — written so a non-electrician understands the process.
- Timeline from permit application through final inspection, warranty details, and any utility rebates or incentives that offset the customer's cost.
Common questions
- Can I structure this Electrical Proposal online for different client scenarios?
- Yes. Revise the proposed work, options, schedule, and pricing in the guided form before downloading the final PDF.
- Can I save this Electrical Proposal and reuse its structure for another customer?
- Yes. With an account, save it in your history, edit it later, and reuse its details as a starting point for another customer.
- Can I generate a presentation-ready PDF from this Electrical Proposal?
- Yes. Export a polished PDF suitable for email delivery, proposal reviews, and approvals.
- When should I write a proposal instead of just a quote?
- When the customer needs to understand why the work is necessary. Service upgrades, rewires, and energy projects all benefit from a proposal that explains the problem and the solution.
- Should I include a load calculation in the proposal?
- For a service upgrade, record the existing service rating, the measured or calculated loads, the proposed equipment, assumptions, and the qualified professional's recommendation. Confirm the calculation method and required capacity under the adopted code and utility rules.
- What is the difference between a proposal and a quote?
- A quote presents the price for a defined job. A proposal also explains your approach, timeline, materials, and pricing, which suits larger or multi-phase projects.
- What makes a proposal clear and complete?
- Describe the project approach, deliverables, materials, timeline, pricing, assumptions, and next step in terms specific to the customer.
- Should I include multiple pricing options?
- Yes. Three clearly defined options let customers compare scope, equipment or materials, performance, and price before choosing.
- What should I review before using the completed Electrical Proposal?
- Review the parties, job or property details, dates, amounts, notes, and signatures entered in the Electrical Proposal. Confirm that the PDF matches the underlying job or agreement and any legal, tax, technical, filing, or notice requirements that apply to the location.
