What every electrical service contract should include

Use these sections as your template. Each one is required for the contract to be clear, enforceable, and professional.

1. Scope of services

List exactly what is covered — panel inspections, outlet testing, GFCI/AFCI checks, lighting maintenance — and what is excluded. Specify response times for emergency calls vs. scheduled visits.

2. Pricing and payment terms

State whether the contract is a flat monthly retainer, annual fee, or per-visit rate. Include billing cycle, accepted payment methods, and late-payment terms.

3. Contract duration and renewal

Define the initial term (commonly 12 months) and whether the contract auto-renews. Include the notice period required to cancel — typically 30 days before the renewal date.

4. Client responsibilities

Access to electrical panels and equipment, advance notice for scheduled visits, and a point-of-contact for authorizing additional work discovered during service.

5. Pricing for additional work

Clarify your hourly rate or fixed-price schedule for work that falls outside the contract scope, so clients know what to expect before approving extras.

6. Termination clause

How either party ends the agreement — notice period, any pro-rated refund policy, and what happens to open service tickets on termination.

7. Limitation of liability

Standard language capping liability to the value of the contract. Consult your attorney for jurisdiction-specific language; this is not a substitute for legal advice.

8. Signature block

Full legal names, company names, dates, and signatures for both the contractor and the client. An e-signed contract is legally binding in all 50 states under ESIGN and UETA.

Proposem fills in every section above — scope, pricing, terms — from a plain-language description of your service.

Electrical service contract: common questions

What should an electrical service contract include?

At minimum: scope of services (what is and isn't covered), pricing and payment terms, contract duration and auto-renewal terms, client responsibilities, a rate schedule for out-of-scope work, a termination clause, and a signature block. The sections above cover each in detail.

Is a free Word or PDF template good enough?

A template works for the first contract or two, but it breaks down quickly: you rewrite scope from scratch every time, there's no tracking, renewals require manual follow-up, and e-signature means a separate tool. Proposem generates the contract for you and handles the entire lifecycle — signature, tracking, and renewal — from one place.

How does Proposem generate service contracts?

Describe the service scope in plain language — "quarterly panel inspection and GFCI testing for a 4,000 sq ft commercial space" — and Proposem's AI drafts the full contract: scope, line items, pricing from your price book, and standard terms. You review and send. Clients sign online.

Can I customize the contract for each client?

Yes. The AI draft is a starting point — you can edit any section before sending. For recurring clients, saved templates let you generate a new contract in seconds.

Does Proposem handle contract renewals automatically?

Yes. Proposem tracks each contract's expiration and surfaces renewals on your dashboard. You resend with one click rather than hunting through old files and retyping scope.

Is an e-signed electrical service contract legally binding?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally binding for contracts in all 50 US states under the federal ESIGN Act (2000) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). Proposem's e-signature captures timestamp and IP address as an audit trail.

Do I need to use Proposem for proposals too, or just contracts?

You can use Proposem for contracts only, proposals only, or both — there is no requirement to use every feature. Most electricians start with proposals and add service contracts once they see how fast the workflow is.
