For small electrical shops
Electrical contractor software for service calls and small projects
Panel quotes that sit for a week. Service calls you want paid today. Both on one customer list at $15/month — without a project-management suite.

Electricians get sold two products: construction PM for the remodel, and field service for the service truck. A small shop does both in the same week — a panel estimate that needs to look like a real bid, and a same-day outlet job that needs an invoice. FieldService is not Procore and it is not a permit tracker. It is the bid and the bill.
The panel bid and the service call are different paper. They are the same customer.
A panel upgrade sits in someone’s inbox next to two other electrician quotes. If your estimate is a PDF from Word with no idea whether they opened it, you lose quietly. A service call is the opposite problem: you did the work, nobody signed anything, payment is a vibe.
You already know your labor and material. You need the scope in writing and a payment link, not another scheduling philosophy.
- → Estimates that survive a week of “we’re deciding.”
- → Service-call invoices that go out the same day.
- → One customer for the house you will rewire later.

How electrical work closes in FieldService
Step 1
Scope the estimate
Panel, EV charger, lighting — line items and your prices. Email it. See when they view it.
Step 2
Signature
They accept on a phone. That is the authorization you wanted in writing before you order the panel.
Step 3
Job the work
Checklist for the steps you already run. Property on the job. Status for what is still open.
Step 4
Invoice materials + labor
Match the signed estimate. Card on the link for the homeowner who does not write checks.
Electrical line items that belong on an estimate
Service calls
Trip + labor as lines. Invoice the same day.
Panel & service
The bid they compare. Include permit as a line if you pass it through.
EV chargers
Circuit vs. unit vs. both — written, not assumed.
Lighting & fans
Fixture-supplied-by-customer notes on the document.
Small projects
Not a Gantt chart. A signed estimate and a job.
Customer history
You were in this panel two years ago. That should not be a guess.
Fit for owner-operator electricians
This is
- → Signed estimates for work that is not “do it right now.”
- → Same-day invoices for service calls.
- → Customer history for the houses you keep going back to.
- → $15/month, one user.
This is not
Named so you do not bounce later
- – Permit tracking, inspection scheduling, or NEC reference.
- – Material takeoff from drawings.
- – Crew dispatch or time tracking for apprentices as a product.
- – Two-way SMS “on my way” messages.
Not Accubid. Not ServiceTitan. On purpose.
Estimating suites and enterprise field platforms exist for a reason. A one- or two-person electrical shop paying for them to send PDFs is the mismatch. Jobber is the middle: more schedule and messaging, more money. FieldService is the documents at $15. If your bottleneck is load calcs or a four-person crew calendar, keep looking.
FieldService vs Jobber — the honest comparison for solo operators.
What is electrical contractor software?
Electrical contractor software can mean estimating (takeoff, assemblies), project management, or field service (customers, jobs, invoices). Search “electrical contractor software” mixes all three. FieldService is the field-service third: quotes, jobs, invoices, customers — not estimating math and not construction PM.
Questions electricians ask
Can I send a panel upgrade estimate they can sign?
Yes. Line items, email link, signature on a phone. You are notified when they view and when they accept.
Do you track permits?
No. You can add a permit allowance as a line item. There is no permit or inspection module.
Can I invoice a one-hour service call?
Yes. Create the invoice and send the payment link, or record cash/check.
Is this for a shop with apprentices in the field?
Basic is one user and has no dispatch. If you need seats and a board, look at Jobber or a contractor suite.
How is this different from Jobber for electricians?
Jobber is stronger on scheduling, SMS, and reviews. We are $15 and quote → invoice. See the comparison page.
What does it cost?
$15/month after a 7-day trial. No credit card to start.
