The Electrician's Business Starter Kit
USA (2026 Edition) — What's Inside
The 2026 NEC just handed licensed electricians a legally protected market. Article 625.4 makes EV charger installs electrician-only in adopting states — every garage in America with an EV is now a permit-pulled, licensed job. The electricians who build the business now will own that wave.
What's inside the 123-page manual
Being a great electrician and running an electrical business are two different skills. The license ladder, the contractor credential, the insurance that's a legal prerequisite in states like Texas, the pricing math, the contracts, the lien deadlines — none of it was in your apprenticeship. This kit is the missing apprenticeship for the business side.
- The license ladder, decoded — journeyman vs master vs contractor, what each lets you SELL (not just do), with a 10-state table and the three state models
- The 2026 NEC transition chapter — EV charger rules, the 5mA GFCI change, EVEMS-vs-panel-upgrade sales conversation, solar-ready mandates, AFCI expansion
- Pricing that actually works — burdened labor rate, the billable-hours trap, materials markup tiers, copper-price quoting rules, and the "diagnose hourly, repair flat" hybrid model
- Electrical safety as a business system — live-dead-live, lockout for the one-man shop, the NFPA 70E line
- The complete paper trail — phone intake to site assessment to signed quote to QC checklist to warranty certificate to review request
- The money math — startup budgets at three tiers, monthly break-even, ticket-mix projection model that shows how to reach $25k/month without adding a single job
19 ready-to-use templates
- 7 Excel calculators with live formulas — including a price book pre-loaded with 30 electrical services (EV charger install, panel upgrade, EVEMS, and 27 more)
- 12 Word documents — service agreement, operating agreement, subcontractor agreement, estimate, change order, work order, invoice, warranty certificate, three field checklists, and a 5-email follow-up pack
