Comparing electrical estimates

Compare the scope, materials, and exclusions before choosing an estimate.

Compare the same scope

Ask each provider to specify fixture quantities, equipment, labor, and any repairs to walls or finishes. For a panel upgrade, request an explanation of the proposed capacity and equipment.

Clarify the total

Confirm whether permits, inspections, disposal, and follow-up visits are included. Ask how unexpected conditions and changes are priced, and confirm the provider’s credentials before agreeing to work.
