Pricing tips for electrical
- Run length drives the cost of a new circuit. Measure the path to the panel, not the straight line.
- EV charger quotes go better with a load check on the line items, so the customer sees why a panel upgrade may be needed.
- Keep patch and paint after fishing wire as a separate line, or exclude it in writing.
