A fuse board upgrade and lighting quote in euro in the Chippie app, with site photos of the old and new boards

Key takeaways

  1. Rewires, fuse board upgrades and EV charger installs quoted on site, parts and labour on separate lines, VAT worked out in euro.
  2. Every board, RCD, emergency light and EV charger is kept at its address, with its test results from every visit.
  3. PAT testing and inspection rounds for commercial customers run as recurring jobs, so the next visit is already booked.
  4. Your Safe Electric registration number prints on every quote and invoice.

How an electrical job runs in Chippie#

A fuse board upgrade in Cork: quoted at the board, done, invoiced and paid. Callouts and testing rounds go the same way.

  1. Quote on site

    Board, downlights, cable and labour itemised, VAT at your rate, sent before you leave the house.

  2. The customer accepts

    Siobhán accepts from the email. The quote becomes the job, and the job carries its invoice. Nothing is typed twice.

  3. Do the work

    Board location and how to get in sit on the site. The new board's photo and test results go on the job, and Siobhán signs it off on your phone.

  4. Invoice the same day

    Complete the job and the invoice is ready, in euro with VAT and your bank details on it.

  5. Paid

    Mark it paid when the transfer lands. With Xero connected, a payment recorded there marks it paid here too.

The photos are the part electricians come to rely on. The old board as you found it and the new one as you left it sit on the job beside the quote and the invoice, so a question months later is answered from the phone.

What Chippie does for electricians#

  • Quote it at the board. Parts and labour as separate lines, VAT at your rate, a photo of the old board attached, sent before you leave. A fuse board upgrade quoted on the day is one the homeowner can say yes to while you are still in the hall.
  • Every board keeps its test results. Add the ready-made electrical types once in Settings: boards, RCDs, emergency lighting, EV chargers. Each one at an address keeps its insulation resistance, earth continuity and trip times from every visit, and a commercial customer's testing round runs as a recurring job.
  • The small job gets billed. A socket moved, a tripping circuit found, an outside light fitted. These are the jobs that never get invoiced. Raise the invoice on the phone before you leave the customer's house.

Electricians: your questions#

Can I put my Safe Electric registration on quotes and invoices?
Yes. Add it once on the Business Info tab in Settings and it prints on every quote and invoice.
Can Chippie keep track of PAT testing?
It puts each testing round on your schedule as a recurring job. Add the ready-made electrical types on the Assets tab in Settings, or start your own type for appliances, and each unit on the customer's site keeps the result of every visit.
Does Chippie handle Irish VAT?
Yes. Set your country to Ireland and every quote and invoice is in euro, with your VAT number and VAT at 23%. Mostly on 13.5% work? Change the rate on the Tax tab in Settings. Not registered? Answer No to "Are you registered for VAT?" there, and no VAT line is shown.
Does Chippie work with Xero?
Yes. On Professional and Team, Chippie sends your customers, invoices and payments to Xero, and an invoice paid in Xero shows as paid in Chippie.
Does Chippie work with no signal?
Yes. Your week's visits and the jobs and quotes you have opened stay on the phone. With no signal you can open them, change prices and lines, add photos, get your customer's signature and send the quote. It all goes through when the phone is back in range.
