Best electrician CRM & dispatch software 2026.
Electrical contractors share most of the home-services CRM pattern with HVAC + plumbing, plus the license-display + permit-info legal layer that's state-specific. We tested seven dispatch/CRM tools in May 2026 mapped to revenue scale (solo → multi-truck).
TLDR
- · Solo under $400k revenue: Workiz $65/mo or NorthLuma + Workiz.
- · 1-3 trucks $250k-2M: Jobber $169/mo or NorthLuma + Jobber (lean stack).
- · Multi-truck $2M+: ServiceTitan $400+/mo or FieldEdge $199/mo.

Per-tool verdict
ServiceTitan
Best at scale. $5M+ revenue electrical contractors. Dispatch + permit-tracking + payroll integrated.
Jobber
Sweet spot for 1-3 truck electrical at $250k-2M revenue. Cheaper than ServiceTitan with the right feature set.
Housecall Pro
Cheapest serious contractor CRM. Best for solo electrician + first hire. Site is decent.
Workiz
Cheap field-service CRM with strong electrical-specific customer history fields (panel info, prior work). Worth comparing to Housecall Pro for solo.
FieldEdge
Premium HVAC + electrical CRM. Stronger on commercial / multi-property accounts. Mid-priced.
Wix Electrical template
Brochure only. Emergency CTA is a hyperlink to your phone; no dispatch / scheduling.
NorthLuma + Jobber
$49 once + Jobber $169/mo. NorthLuma is the public marketing site with prominent 24/7-emergency CTA + license-number display + service-area schema; Jobber handles dispatch + invoicing + review automation. Cheapest combo with own-the-code.
Frequently asked
Do I have to display my electrical license number?
Yes in most US states + EU countries (regulated trades require display of master-electrician or contractor license number on advertising). NorthLuma's generated site includes a footer block where you paste your license number(s) — same on every builder; the legal requirement is your content, not the platform.
24/7 emergency CTA — best placement?
Above-the-fold sticky header with click-to-call number is the standard high-converting pattern for emergency electrical. NorthLuma's generated site ships this; Housecall Pro / Jobber / ServiceTitan / Workiz all include it in their site templates. The CTA matters more than the platform — every option shipped this.
Permit-info display?
Some jurisdictions (e.g. CA Title 24) require contractors to discuss permit responsibilities on customer-facing materials. NorthLuma's generated site includes a 'Permits' section you populate with your jurisdiction-specific language. Same on every builder.
Commercial vs residential pricing?
Most electrical contractors have separate fee structures for commercial vs residential. NorthLuma supports a 'Commercial' tab + 'Residential' tab on the services page. Bundled CRMs (Jobber + ServiceTitan) support this in their site templates too.
5-year cost?
ServiceTitan: $24,000+. Jobber: $10,140. Housecall Pro: $4,740. Workiz: $3,900. FieldEdge: $11,940. NorthLuma + Jobber: $10,189. NorthLuma + Workiz: $3,949. Cheapest serious combo: NorthLuma + Workiz for solo electrician under $400k revenue.
