Free Electrical Estimate Template
A three-option estimate built around a real 200-amp panel upgrade, clear enough that the customer decides for themselves. Use it as-is, or build and send it in two taps inside OneBy.
Panel and service work is where a clear estimate earns its keep. Give the homeowner three options on one page, the code-minimum upgrade, the protected upgrade most choose, and the future-ready build, and the decision becomes which level, not whether to call someone else.
This template is free to use. Print it, copy the structure into your own forms, or fill it in on screen. Prices are left blank, add yours.

Why the three-option layout books more work
One price is a yes-or-no question, and the easiest answer is to call the next company for a second quote. Three options change the question to which one. The customer stays with you and decides how much to spend, and the recommended middle option gives most people a comfortable place to land.
Homeowners upgrading a panel are usually planning for something, an EV, an addition, a generator. Showing the future-ready option on the same page lets them pay once instead of calling you back next year.
- Put the option you recommend in the middle and mark it clearly.
- Keep each option to a few plain-language lines, not a parts list.
- Name what the customer gets, warranty and peace of mind, not just the hardware.
- Send it the same day. Estimates sent within an hour close far more often.

Why show three options on an electrical estimate?+
A single price is easy to shop against the next licensed electrician. Three options, code-minimum, protected, and future-ready, reframe the choice and let homeowners plan for an EV or generator now instead of paying twice.
