← Contractor Quote AuditorWhat to check on the estimate
- Panel or subpanel make and amperage
- Circuit count and wire gauge
- Permit and inspection responsibility
- Drywall opening and patching
- Utility coordination and shutoff scheduling
- Licensed electrician performing or supervising the work
Questions worth asking
- What panel and amperage are being installed?
- How many circuits are included, and what happens if more are needed?
- Who pulls the permit and meets the inspector?
- Who repairs drywall or trim that gets opened?
- Will the utility need to disconnect power, and who schedules that?
- Will a licensed electrician perform the work or supervise it?

Why is amperage worth checking?
Panel capacity determines what you can add later. A quote that does not state amperage makes future work harder to plan and compare.
Do small electrical jobs need permits?
It depends entirely on your jurisdiction. The point is that the quote should say who is responsible either way.
