Quoting & Invoicing Software for Electricians

The best electrician billing software for an Australian sparky combines quoting, job scheduling, GST invoicing, Certificate of Compliance capture and state-regulator lodgement in one place — not a job app plus a separate accounting package plus a website builder. simPRO and AroFlo are powerful for larger contracting firms but carry enterprise pricing and a steeper setup; ServiceM8 and Tradify are lighter but still need Xero or MYOB alongside. OneBookPlus bundles electrical quotes, AS/NZS 3000 CoC readings, GST/BAS-ready invoicing, CRM and a free booking page from $0/month, so the comparison that matters is the all-in monthly cost.

Yes — OneBookPlus is a fair simPRO and AroFlo alternative for sole traders and small electrical teams. simPRO and AroFlo are genuinely strong for large commercial contractors with complex project accounting and inventory, and we won't pretend to match their depth at that scale. Where OneBookPlus wins is for residential and small-commercial sparkies who want quoting, CoC capture, GST invoicing, scheduling and a booking page in one affordable subscription that starts free — without enterprise onboarding or per-seat pricing.

Yes — our free plan includes unlimited invoices, quotes, and up to 5 clients. Perfect for sole trader sparkies just getting started. Upgrade anytime as your electrical business grows.

Every invoice automatically calculates 10% GST, displays your ABN and electrical licence number, and meets ATO requirements. Attach Certificates of Compliance to any job record. At BAS time, export a GST summary in one click.

When you issue an Electrical CoC in OneBookPlus, the form surfaces one-tap links to your state's lodgement portal — Energy Safe Victoria (VIC), Fair Trading (NSW), Electrical Safety Office (QLD), Office of the Technical Regulator (SA), Building & Energy (WA), CBOS (TAS), Access Canberra (ACT), and NT WorkSafe. Each state has its own lodgement window (commonly 30 days), and we surface the link inline so you don't waste time hunting URLs.

Yes. One tap fills the certificate's structured-readings form with the AS/NZS 3000 fields every regulator expects: insulation resistance (MΩ), earth continuity (Ω), RCD trip time (ms) and trip current (mA), polarity test, and visual inspection. The readings print on the customer-emailed PDF with proper unit symbols, so your CoC is audit-ready.

Yes. Solar installs capture panel count, inverter kW, and STC quantity in a structured form. The cert workflow surfaces CEC-accreditation guidance and links to the REC Registry for creating STCs within the 12-month window. Quote presets, DNSP grid-connection reminders, and customer-handover emails are included.

Absolutely. Build itemised quotes for switchboard upgrades (single- and three-phase), safety switch installs, rewiring, smoke alarm replacement, EV charger installs, and any electrical work. Include labour, materials, and safety testing as separate line items. Customers accept online with one click.

Yes. Store your electrical licence details, Certificates of Compliance, test results, and CPD records against each job. Set reminders for licence renewals so you never lapse. Everything is documented and audit-ready.

OneBookPlus offers a Test & Tag Register marketplace pack ($15/month) that stores each appliance with its category, last-test date, next-due date, pass/fail history, and the technician who tested it. Default retest intervals follow AS/NZS 3760:2022 — 3 months for construction/demolition/hostile environments, 6 months for factory/workshop, 12 months for office/hire, 5 years for fixed equipment. The dashboard surfaces what's due this week, and tag PDFs are bulk-printable for on-site labelling.

Yes — the Emergency Lighting Compliance pack ($15/month) tracks every exit sign and emergency luminaire in a building, runs the 6-monthly 90-second discharge test and the 12-monthly 90-minute full-duration test required by AS/NZS 2293.2, and emails a building-owner-ready compliance report. Test history is retained against each fitting, so when the building manager asks for proof at audit you can produce the dated log in a click.

Yes. The Heat Pump HWS Install Pack ($19/month) captures customer eligibility checks for the major Australian state schemes — Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU), NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS), and SA's Home Energy Equipment scheme (HEER) — alongside Federal STCs created on the REC Registry. The job record stores the unit serial, scheme reference number, and pre/post-install photos required by the AGS or Accredited Person for the certificate to be issued.

Yes — the EV Charger Compliance pack ($15/month) walks you through the AS/NZS 3000 §4.5 requirements for every install: dedicated 32A circuit, Type B RCBO (mandatory for Mode 3 chargers without internal residual DC detection), weatherproof isolator, and the IEC 62196 Mode 3 commissioning handshake. The cert workflow captures insulation resistance, earth continuity, and the Type B RCBO trip-time reading on the same Certificate of Compliance you issue for any other electrical work — no separate paperwork. DNSP single-line diagram is attachable to the job for the supply-upgrade application when one is needed.
