How to use these numbers
- Start here, then make them yours. Check each line against your real labor rate and parts cost. The hourly rate calculator and job price calculator help.
- Quote options. Good, better, best proposals let the customer choose; the starter book is built to drop straight into them.
- Load it free. Pick electrical and your state when you sign up, and these tasks load into your price book with descriptions, ready to edit. Your edits are never overwritten.
“I’ve got a person for you.” Get paid for it.
Your techs see what else a house needs. On the MyHomeService360 network, when your AC tech refers a plumber on the network and the plumbing job sells and gets paid, your company earns a share of the network fee. The business that receives the referral pays nothing for the lead itself, only a network fee after the job is booked and paid. How the referral network works.
Questions people ask
Are these average prices contractors charge?
No. They’re modeled starting prices from our 2026 starter price book: a national baseline times a state cost factor. They’re a place to start, not market survey data.
Why do prices differ by state?
Each state has a cost factor applied to the national baseline, so labor and operating costs are reflected in the starting price. Your own costs matter more than the state average.
Can I load these into my own electrical price book?
Yes, free. Pick electrical and your state at signup and the starter book loads with every task editable.
