Free quote generator questions, answered
Is the EosLog quote generator really free?
Yes. Generate as many quote PDFs as you want, free, with no account required. EosLog is the paid product behind the tool. Try the free PDF generator first, sign up for the full app only if you want to track quotes, send them by email, and get notified when customers view them.
Do I need an account to generate a PDF?
No. Fill out the form and click Generate PDF. You'll get a PDF plus a private link you can download, share with your customer, or email to yourself. We keep the quote for 90 days so that link keeps working, then delete it automatically. Import it into a free EosLog account if you want to keep and track it.
What format is the generated quote?
A standard PDF (Letter size) with your company logo, a clean line-item table, calculated totals with tax and discount, and your contact info in the header and footer. Print it, email it, or upload it anywhere.
Can I add my own logo to the quote?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP file under 2MB and it appears in the header of the PDF. The logo is stored only alongside your generated quote and is deleted with it after 90 days.
What's the difference between a quote and an invoice?
A quote proposes a price before the work: the scope, line items, and terms the customer approves. An invoice requests payment for work done: what was completed, what is owed, and how to pay. Same line items, different moment. Send the quote first; once the work is approved and finished, the invoice bills what was agreed.
How long does my quote link stay live?
Shareable quote links stay live for 90 days, then the quote is deleted automatically. Import it into a free EosLog account before then if you want to keep it.
What trades is the quote generator built for?
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning, pest control, handyman, pressure washing, and property management, each with tailored line items and pricing prompts. The generic version works for any service business.
How do I price an electrical job?
Most electricians use flat-rate pricing for common tasks (outlets, switches, fixtures) and hourly for complex/diagnostic work ($110–$175/hr). Major projects (panel upgrades, rewires) are quoted as fixed-price with permit fees itemized separately.
Should I quote electrical work flat-rate or hourly?
Flat-rate wins for residential service calls (predictable for customer, profitable for you). Hourly works better for commercial troubleshooting and unknowns. Many shops use hybrid: flat-rate for first hour + hourly after.
Do I need to include permit cost on the electrical quote?
Yes. Itemize permits separately so customers see the full cost and understand it's a pass-through fee. Common permits: panel upgrade ($75 to $300), service entrance ($150 to $500), new circuits in some jurisdictions. Always pull the permit yourself.
What should a professional electrical quote include?
License number, service-call fee, labor (hourly or flat-rate per task), materials with markup, permit fees broken out separately, sales tax on materials, deposit terms for jobs over $1,000, and warranty (typically 1 year on labor, manufacturer on parts). Include a quote validity window so customers know when to lock in.
