Bill the labour, materials and certificate from the job site.
Electrical work is easiest to approve when labour, switchgear, cable, testing and compliance documentation are itemised against the accepted scope. InvoiceSonic creates that record on site, then tracks whether it was opened, paid or left overdue.
Built for electricians · Mobile and web · No InvoiceSonic transaction fee
One record from agreed work to payment — Bill call-out and hourly labour for service work, or quoted stages for installations and rewires. Keep the site address, quote or work-order number and electrical safety certificate on the invoice so the client can approve it without asking what the charge covers.
Enter the actual job details, review the totals and preview your invoice. You can start without an account. Downloads follow the free-tool limits; saving, tracked sending and reminders are available with an account.
Reuse the descriptions electricians actually bill: call-out, licensed electrician labour, cable and fittings, switchboard components, testing and certificate fees. Totals and tax recalculate automatically.
Carry the agreed scope into the invoice and show deposits or staged payments separately, rather than rebuilding the price from memory.
Put the site address, quote or work-order number and electrical safety certificate on the invoice so the customer, broker or bookkeeper can match it quickly.
Track sent, viewed, partially paid, paid and overdue invoices from one list instead of cross-checking email and a spreadsheet.
State due on completion for small work; deposit and milestone billing for installations; if the balance passes that date, a polite reminder can go out automatically.
Add bank transfer, PayID, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App or PayPal details. InvoiceSonic never takes a percentage of the invoice.
Choose the customer and carry across the agreed price, scope and site address, quote or work-order number and electrical safety certificate.
Add call-out, licensed electrician labour, cable and fittings, switchboard components, testing and certificate fees; show tax, deposits and any approved variation as separate lines.
Set due on completion for small work; deposit and milestone billing for installations, send the invoice while the job is current, and follow the status until payment is recorded.
The document should make the commercial history obvious to both electricians and their customer.
Takeaway: The strongest invoice mirrors the accepted scope, proves which job it belongs to and leaves one unambiguous balance to pay.
Create the job invoice now, then save the customer, status and reminder workflow when you are ready.
Start the 7-day trialIt should support call-out and hourly labour for service work, or quoted stages for installations and rewires, reusable customers and line items, tax calculation, clear payment terms, delivery status, partial-payment tracking and overdue reminders. A full accounting or dispatch suite is optional; the billing workflow is not.
Include both parties, a unique invoice number, issue and due dates, site address, quote or work-order number and electrical safety certificate, and itemised charges such as call-out, licensed electrician labour, cable and fittings, switchboard components, testing and certificate fees. Show tax, payments already received and the remaining balance separately.
Yes. InvoiceSonic works in a mobile browser and on iPhone and iPad, so you can create and send the invoice close to the work instead of batching it later.
Yes. Record payments against the invoice, keep the remaining balance visible and use sent, viewed, paid and overdue status to decide the next action.
No. InvoiceSonic does not take a percentage of the invoice. A third-party card processor may charge its own fee; bank transfer and supported local payment rails can provide a lower-cost option.
A useful billing system starts with an invoice the customer can verify. Set up the job details, agree the charging basis and check the balance before you automate follow-up.
Separate fault finding from the authorised repair or installation. Identify the equipment, circuits or areas included in the accepted scope. If diagnosis reveals additional work, record the customer’s approval before adding it to the invoice.
Include the service address, job number, visit date and relevant equipment or circuit reference. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the approved scope, labour record, parts schedule and relevant completion-document references available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.
Diagnosis, supplied parts and installation are visible as separate charges. This is a billing example, not a technical safety checklist; required certificates and inspections remain separate from the invoice.
| Description | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fault-finding labour | 2 | 90.00 | 180.00 |
| Replacement fitting — approved supply | 3 | 45.00 | 135.00 |
| Installation labour | 1 | 90.00 | 90.00 |
| Example subtotal | 405.00 | ||
Grouping all fittings into ‘materials’ makes quantities difficult to verify. Use a clear description and quantity, and distinguish a supplied item from labour that was already included in the quoted installation price.
Send the invoice to the party responsible for the approved work, which may differ from the site contact. If payment is waiting on a completion document, confirm the missing reference and provide it through the appropriate process.
The free browser tool prepares the document. Saving customers, sending tracked invoices and managing reminders require an account and are subject to plan limits. Payment status needs accurate payment records; an invoice view alone does not confirm payment.
