FAQ

An electrical work order (also called a job order, service ticket, or work request form) describes an electrical job that’s been approved by a client but hasn’t been started yet. Electricians can use work orders to manage their customers’ jobs.

Work orders can also be used within an electrical project if one team or department needs another team to complete a job. For example, an electrical contractor may use a work order to send electrical specifications to a general contractor.

No matter how it’s used, an electrical work order is a written record of what work will be completed, how much it’ll cost, and what materials the job will require. It also includes contact information for the electrician and their client, and both will receive a copy of the work order for their records.

Our blank, editable electrical work order template makes it easy to customize and send professional-looking work order forms for future jobs. It’s a great way to start any electrical project, whether you’re just starting an electrical business or you run a successful electrical business and have been in the industry for years.
Your electrical service work order should include:

• Job number (that matches your estimate and invoice number), start date, and end date
• Your electrical business name, address, and contact information
• The customer’s name and contact details
• Products/services requested, including item description, quantity, and hourly labor cost
• Estimated project amount, factoring in subtotal, discounts, and taxes
• Any notes about the requested work (e.g., existing electrical wiring, installation instructions, required tools or electrical cables, safety guidelines, payment terms)
• Space for the customer’s signature and today’s date

Make sure the words “work order” are highly visible in big letters. Your electrical work order could look like an electrical estimate or invoice, so it should be clear what this document is for. If you use a basic electrical work order generator like this one, your work order will automatically include all the details you need.

Here’s how to build an electrical work order, how to use it during a job, and what comes next:

1. Determine if this is a planned electrical service (like electrical system preventative maintenance) or an unplanned electrical repair (like an overloaded outlet). This can affect factors like your job start date and might impact other scheduled work.
2. Create an electrical work order using this free template. Add in all the job details, then send the completed work order to your customer and to the team who will complete the electrical job.
3. Add the work to your calendar using job scheduling software and assign it to specific employees. Your team members will be able to see the job in their schedules and track time for it. If an unplanned service call comes in, you can easily adjust your schedule as needed to accommodate it.
4. Mark the work order as completed once the job is finished and send your electrical invoice to the customer.
If your work order includes a client signature, it can be used as a binding electrical contract. This indicates that the customer has signed off on your electrical estimate, if you created one, and is ready for you to proceed with the job. It also means that you agree to complete the electrical services listed in the work order.

While some electrical businesses will use a work order as an invoice for customers, work orders and invoices are actually two different things.

A work order describes work that has been requested and needs to be completed. An invoice, on the other hand, requests payment for services that have already been completed.

Your electrical company can use a work order as an invoice as long as it contains the right information. An invoice should include the services and fittings you provided, the date of service, the amount due, your payment terms and accepted payment methods, and other important details. To keep your records tidy, use our free electrician invoice template and create your own electrical invoice.
