Everything an electrician needs — nothing you don’t
- Estimates in minutes from your own price book, sent by text, email or WhatsApp.
- Schedule and crew — assign a worker or a crew; they see the job instantly.
- Invoices and card payments — Pay Now on every invoice, money to your bank.
- Track every helper’s hours and licenses (driver’s license and trade license expiry reminders).
- Keep wire, breakers and devices counted in the van — parts come off automatically when a job is done.
- Tax only the materials, the whole job, or a fixed amount — your choice per invoice.
Your price book, ready in minutes
Start with your own items and prices. For example, an electrician might add:
| Outlet install | $150 |
| GFCI outlet replacement | $175 |
| Ceiling fan install | $250 |
| Recessed light (each) | $200 |
| EV charger install | $1,200 |
| Panel upgrade 200A | $2,800 |
Example prices only — you set yours. Import your list from a spreadsheet in seconds.
Example: 200-amp panel upgrade in a 1970s ranch house
The homeowner wants an EV charger, but the old 100-amp panel is full and the breakers are a brand nobody stocks anymore. You walk the house, check the meter base and quote the upgrade on the spot.
| Panel upgrade 200A | $2,800 |
| Permit and inspection | $250 |
| Whole-house surge protector | $350 |
| EV charger circuit (50A) | $650 |
| Total | $4,050 |
| Deposit to start (30%) | $1,215 |
Mark the panel and surge protector as materials so tax only lands where your state wants it. The customer pays the deposit from the link, you order the panel that afternoon, and the helper sees the address and scope — never the price.
An example to show how it works — prices and steps are yours to set.
What customers ask an electrician
Do I need to upgrade my panel to add an EV charger?
Often, but not always. Load calculations decide it. Selk lets you add a short note on the estimate explaining why, so the customer understands the line item.
Will the power be off all day?
Usually a few hours. Put the planned shut-off window in the job notes so the crew and the customer see the same plan.
Can you pull the permit?
Most licensed electricians do. Add it as its own line so the customer sees exactly what it costs.
Tips for your electrician business
- Price panel swaps as one line with a clear scope; customers compare totals, not wire gauges.
- Keep a "troubleshooting – first hour" item so service calls are quoted the same way every time.
- Track license expiry for every helper in Team — an expired license on a commercial job can cost the contract.
One path, start to paid
New job → Estimate → Schedule → Crew does it → Invoice → Paid. The same simple steps for every job, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Questions electricians ask
Can I track my electricians’ licenses?
Yes. Each worker adds their trade license and driver’s license with expiry dates. Selk warns you 30 days before one expires.
Can I bill parts separately from labor?
Yes. Mark any line as a material so tax applies only to materials when your state works that way.

Selk costs $29/month for Solo, $79/month for Contractor (owner plus up to 5 workers), and $129/month for Contractor 10 (owner plus up to 10 workers). The first 100 companies lock in founding prices of $19, $49 and $89 per month for as long as they stay subscribed.
