Open the Panel. Get the Electrical Estimate.
Speak the scope from the job site - "200-amp panel upgrade $1,800, 12 new circuits at $185 each, whole-house surge protector $450, labor 16 hours at $95/hr" - and AI formats a branded, line-itemed estimate in 60 seconds. You set every price. We handle the paperwork. Made for solopreneur electricians and small entrepreneur-run shops, not enterprise service companies.
The homeowner wants 3 quotes. The electrician who sends a professional estimate first wins.
Electrical work isn't cheap. Homeowners compare. They call 3 electricians, get ballpark numbers, and go with whoever looks the most professional and responds the fastest. If you tell them you'll "get the estimate over by end of week," the next electrician already has the signature.
FastEstimateMaker puts a branded, line-itemed estimate in the customer's texts before you drive away.
Panel to Signed Estimate - in 4 Steps
No laptop. No office. Just your phone and your voice.
Open the panel, check amps, count circuits, identify issues. Determine the scope of work needed.
"200-amp panel $1,800, 12 new circuits at $185, whole-house surge $450, labor 16 hours at $95/hr." You set every price - AI formats the line items.
Review and tap send. The customer gets a branded client portal with every material, circuit, and labor hour itemized.
The customer reviews and accepts digitally. You get a notification instantly. Schedule the work and order materials. Or share your booking link and let them schedule the appointment - it lands on your Google Calendar automatically.
Speak the Circuit, Skip the Clipboard
Describe the job in plain English - "200-amp Square D panel $1,800, 12 new 20-amp circuits at $185 each, AFCI breakers $45 each, whole-house surge protector $450, labor 16 hours at $95/hr" - you dictate the scope and the price. AI formats it into a clean, branded client portal in under 60 seconds - with a PDF backup. Your pricing, your margins, zero typing.
The service work you quote every week does not need to be spoken at all. Keep it as a flat-rate price book - service call, outlet add, GFCI swap, ceiling fan, EV charger circuit, panel surge - organized by category with your labor rate and material markup saved against each one. The AI pulls from your catalog while it builds the estimate, so the same job prices the same way whether you quote it Monday morning or Friday at six. Bulk import loads your whole price list at once, and changing a rate in the catalog changes it on every estimate you write from then on.
Residential. Commercial. Any Scope.
Panel upgrades, whole-house rewires, EV charger installs, commercial lighting retrofits, generator hookups, outlet additions - if you can speak it, FastEstimateMaker can format it. Each line item shows exactly what the customer is paying for. No surprises.
Pre-Written Follow-Ups That Close the Deal
Panel upgrades and rewires aren't impulse buys. Homeowners think about it. FastEstimateMaker generates pre-written, job-specific follow-up texts ready to send - "Hi Sarah, just following up on the panel upgrade estimate. Ready to get on the schedule?" You review it, tap send, and you close jobs without chasing. Need a different angle? Generate a new follow-up on demand right from your dashboard.
A Service Change Shouldn't Start on Your Credit Card
A 200-amp service change means gear, breakers, wire, and a permit bought before the homeowner has paid you anything. Make the deposit a term of the estimate and the customer is asked to pay it the moment they sign - card or wallet, from the link you already texted. It is a real signature, typed or drawn on their phone, and you both get the signed PDF.
Structure the rest around the work: a draw at rough-in, the balance once the inspection passes, each with its own due date. Signing drafts the invoice for you, and unpaid invoices chase themselves with text and email reminders. Deposits, payment schedules, e-signature, and online payments are all part of the $29.99 Solo plan.

Nobody Lets an Unrated Electrician Near Their Panel
Homeowners check your license, then they check your reviews - and for electrical work the count matters as much as the rating. Every finished job is a review you earned and probably never asked for, because asking on the way out the door feels awkward.
Add your Google review link and FastEstimateMaker asks for you. When an invoice is paid in full, it texts the customer a Google review request - only if they agreed to texts, and only inside texting quiet hours. The payment page invites them to review right after they pay, and you can text a review link to any past customer in one tap. Included in the $29.99 Solo plan.
Canvass the Neighborhood. Book More Jobs.
Older homes mean outdated panels, aluminum wiring, and missing GFCI outlets. Plan your route, log every door - interested, scheduled, not home - and set follow-up reminders. One panel upgrade on a block can turn into three when neighbors see the truck. Text them your booking link right from the canvass popup - they pick a time, and the appointment is in your pipeline.
Canvassing and sales territories are on the Canvass plan at $59.99/month, plus $19.99/month for each sales rep you invite. Your own login is included, and everything else on this page is in the $29.99 Solo plan.
