Good morning I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself.
My name’s Wilson Matthew Betances. I’m a licensed electrical contractor serving Connecticut and Massachusetts, founder of Energize Us.
I am truly passionate about what the trades have to offer, not just as a career , but the life all of it can bring you and the community. That’s why we’ve expanded into training, workforce development, and industry education through Energize Us EDU.
If you're in the area, want to jump on a podcast, or talk about how we can build the current & next generation of contractors and apprentices. It would be an honor to meet and host you. I also attached our recent press release about the journey we are building for the trades. - EmbertonContributor 2

HVAC contractor looking at getting my electrical license, been doing everything from changing breakers, running conduit and electrical etc and can do pretty much anything electrical related to my trade. Just dont mess with changing out panels, generators, solar etc. How hard do you think it would be for me to learn the rest I'd need or to properly qualify? I could take the California Contractors exam for electricians and pass it most likely, will pass the legal side obviously, I'm already a contractor, what are your thoughts?

Heyo! Ian Mackay, also from Vancouver, over at Altitude Electric Inc.
I'm curious if any of you guys came up with a nice way to quote larger commercial jobs more as a proposal with take-off vs line item quoting that jobber offers
I used to use Knowify, and they killed it with that style I'm just wondering if any of you have had the same issue.
- WiringByronJobber Ambassador
Hey man! I'll have to look you guys up.
No sorry, I don't do a lot of commercial these days. I have done tons of it with Jobber in the past though but I just have things as line items. I seperate things out like fire alarm vs lighting package. Just so the contractor can compare tenders and make sure we've included everything. I do know a few guys that use Knowify and they love some of those features. Are the contractors asking for something like this? I've never got any feedback that they didn't like the Jobber set up.- AltitudeContributor 2
Ah yeah fair play that's what I've been having to do as well.
No one has asked for it, but for b2b and more of a corporate look, it seems more in line
presents more as a contract proposal vs a quote if that makes sense

Hello people! Digital Electric is my company, based out of Long Island NY.
Commercial/residential and we do electrical/low voltage work.Do you guys use Jobber to bill your commercial clients?
- WiringByronJobber Ambassador
We definitely do.

I would charge at least something to send a message. 1hr is fine. You don't want disorganized clients like this.
