Electrician Invoice Template
An electrician's invoice often has to do two jobs at once: request payment and tie the paperwork together. Once the work is tested and the certificates are issued, the invoice should reference them, so the customer has one document trail covering the price, the Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate, and any EICR report from inspection and testing work. That matters for landlords and home sellers in particular, who will be asked for those documents long after the job is finished.
Payment terms of 14 days are common for domestic electrical work, and the invoice should state the actual due date rather than leaving it open. Use sequential invoice numbers, show your bank details and ask for the invoice number as the payment reference, so bank transfers are easy to match when you reconcile the account. If the job was quoted, carry the quote reference across so there is no dispute about what was agreed, and itemise labour and materials the same way the quote did, including any per-point lines for sockets and lights.

What payment terms should an electrician put on an invoice?
Fourteen days from the invoice date is common for domestic work, though seven days and payment on completion are also used. Whatever you choose, state the actual due date, not just the terms, and show your bank details with the invoice number as the reference so transfers are easy to match.
Should my invoice mention the electrical certificates?
Yes. If you issued an Electrical Installation Certificate, a Minor Works Certificate or an EICR, note the certificate or report number on the invoice. It creates a clear link between payment and paperwork, which landlords, solicitors and insurers often ask for.
How should I number my invoices?
Sequentially, without gaps, starting from whatever number suits you. HMRC expects a unique, consecutive number on every invoice if you are VAT registered, and a clean sequence makes it obvious when a payment is missing. Keep the same format whether you use this template or the online invoice generator.
What is a polite way to chase an unpaid invoice?
Send a short reminder the day after the due date, restating the amount, the invoice number and your bank details, and attach the invoice again. If there is no response after a week, follow up by phone. Most late payments on domestic jobs are oversight rather than refusal, so keep the tone friendly but firm.
