How do I quote an electrical job?
Count the points (lights, power points, switches), multiply by the labour hours each takes, price materials at trade cost plus your markup (20–30% is common), add labour at your hourly rate and show GST separately. Insta Quotes does that from a plain description: the sample quote on this page came from a single sentence.
How much do electricians charge per power point or light point?
Our 2026 guide estimate is $80–$150 per point installed in Australia, depending on access, cable runs and your city. Electrician labour is typically $90–$130 an hour, highest in Sydney and Melbourne. These are estimates, not quotes: set your own rates in Insta Quotes.
Can Insta Quotes quote an electrical job from a photo or plan?
Yes, on Tier 2 and Tier 3. Upload a site photo or a PDF plan and the AI reads it into priced line items. Tier 1 quotes from a typed description.
