This electrical service agreement sets the ground rules for electrical work we carry out for you, from troubleshooting and repairs through upgrades, new circuits, lighting, and closeout testing and labeling.
If you have accepted a written proposal from us for this project, this agreement applies to that project and we will work to that scope, price, and schedule as updated in writing along the way. If something is not in scope, we will stop, explain what we found, and agree the next step with you before we continue.
What we’re doing
We will complete the electrical work listed under this agreement for this project, including the items shown in the deliverables list that follows. This covers the areas and circuits we work on, and it includes the normal steps to get there: fault-finding, repairs, new wiring and devices, lighting and controls work, and closeout testing and labeling.
We price and schedule based on what we can see at the site check and what you tell us about the building’s use. If we open something up and find unsafe wiring, hidden damage, or conditions that change the plan, we will pause and talk you through options before any extra work happens.
* On-site diagnosis notes * Completed electrical repairs * Installed circuits and wiring * Installed lighting and controls * GFCI and AFCI protection * Panel schedule and labels
Booking payment
To book the work, you pay 40% of the price when you sign the proposal for this project. That booking payment holds time on our schedule and lets us order job-specific materials (for example breakers, wire, devices, and panel parts) so we can show up ready to work.
If you cancel before we have started on site, we will refund the booking payment minus any non-returnable material costs and any time we have already spent on job setup that you asked us to do. Once we have started on site, the booking payment is not refundable, because it is part payment for the work and time reserved.
Payment
You pay 40% of the price to book the work when you sign, and the remaining 60% is due when the job is finished. We will invoice for those amounts, and each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date.
If a payment is late, we will first contact you and ask when we should expect it. If it stays unpaid, we may pause scheduling further visits, hold off on ordering additional materials, and delay inspection sign-off support until the account is brought up to date. You still remain responsible for the balance for work completed and materials already purchased for your project.
Changes
Electrical jobs can change once walls are opened, fixtures arrive, or an inspector calls for something different. If you want to change the plan, or if we find a condition that makes the original scope unsafe or not workable, we will write up what is changing, the price, and any schedule impact. We will not do the changed work until you approve it in writing.
Small on-the-spot choices that do not change the price or the result, like moving a box a few inches to clear a stud or swapping a device color you already provided, can be agreed on site. Anything that affects materials, circuit count, panel space, inspection scope, or time on site gets written approval first.
Access and decisions
You agree to give us safe access on scheduled days to the panel, the work areas, and any attic or crawlspace entry points we need for this project. Please make sure we can reach the panel without moving stored items, and that pets are secured away from the work area while power may be off.
You will name one person as the day-to-day contact for decisions, and we will treat instructions from that person as coming from you. If we arrive and cannot access a planned area, or we are waiting on a required decision (like fixture locations or which loads go in a subpanel), we may need to reschedule and bill a return trip.
What’s not included
Unless we include it in writing, this electrical service agreement does not cover work on utility-owned equipment or service drops, trenching or concrete cutting, asbestos or hazardous material handling, repairing water or structural damage, or patching and repainting after we open walls, ceilings, or soffits.
We will use code-listed materials that match the application. If you supply fixtures, devices, or equipment (like lights, fans, heaters, or an EV charger), you are responsible for compatibility, missing parts, and condition. We will tell you if something looks unsafe or does not fit the plan before we install it, and any extra time spent adapting owner-supplied items is treated as a change.
Closeout and cleanup
We will keep the work area reasonably tidy as we go and remove our packaging, wire offcuts, and replaced devices at the end of each visit. We will put covers back on, secure boxes, and leave circuits in a safe state before we step away, even if the project needs a follow-up visit.
At closeout, we will test the circuits we touched, confirm GFCI and AFCI protection where we installed it, update the panel schedule and labels for what we changed, and walk you through the end result. Cosmetic patching, drywall repair, texture matching, and paint are not included unless we agree them in writing. If you spot an issue after handover, tell us promptly and we will schedule a visit to check it.
If something goes wrong
We take safety and code compliance seriously. We are responsible for doing the work we agreed to do, to a standard that should pass inspection for the scope we installed, and for leaving the circuits we worked on in a safe, tested, labeled condition.
We are not responsible for problems caused by existing wiring we did not work on, old or damaged equipment outside the scope, or work done by others before or after us. We are also not responsible for losses that come from your business being closed or sales being missed during an outage. If something we did causes damage, tell us as soon as you can so we can see it, make it safe, and work with you on the fix.
Ending the project
You can end this project by telling us in writing. We can also end it if the job cannot be done safely, if we cannot get safe access as agreed, or if invoices are not paid within the agreed terms. We will always tell you what the issue is and what would need to change to keep moving.
If the project ends, you pay for work completed and materials ordered for your job up to the end date. We will provide any reasonable handover notes we have for the work performed, including what was installed and what circuits were affected, so another electrician can pick up from a safe point if needed. Any notice period will be agreed with you in writing based on where the job is at.
