Electrical contractor software:
permits, panels, inspections.
Residential service calls, panel changeouts, EV charger installs, commercial tenant improvements: Linq keeps permits, inspections and rough-in / final stages on a single timeline that the office and the field share.
Built on real shifts, not focus groups
Linq's founders run working field-service companies in Metro Vancouver, and the features on this page were built for their own crews first. The permit tracker exists because one missed inspection date can stall a whole week of work, and the staged checklists exist because a panel that goes to inspection half-done costs the shop a second trip.

Tuned for electrical.
Not bent into shape.
Every Linq feature has a electrical preset, so the dispatch board, the pricing logic and the customer portal land on day one already shaped for the work you actually do.
- Permit + inspection tracker with city / county presets
- Job stages: rough-in, trim, inspection, final, each with its own checklist
- Panel-change estimates with per-circuit line items
- EV charger install playbook: load calc, permit, rebate paperwork
- Photo annotation: red-line a panel photo from the truck
- Code-required as-builts auto-generated for the customer record
How electrical teams run on Linq
A 200-amp panel upgrade starts as a per-circuit estimate, becomes a staged job the moment the customer signs, and carries its permit dates on the same timeline the field sees. Rough-in, trim and final each get their own checklist, so nothing ships to inspection half-done. When the inspector flags a circuit, the tech red-lines the panel photo from the truck and the office sees it before the ladder is folded.
See the numbers behind every panel
A staged job hides its margin until the final inspection passes, and by then it is too late to fix the estimate. Linq's plain-English reports show revenue per tech and per job type, so panel changeouts, EV installs and service calls each carry their own numbers instead of blending into one average ticket. Contractors comparing enterprise dispatch platforms can start with our guide to the best ServiceTitan alternatives.
Electrical shops ask us these.
Does Linq track electrical permits and inspections?
Yes. The permit tracker ships with city and county presets, and each job shows submitted, issued, rough and final inspection dates on one timeline shared by the office and the field.
Can Linq manage staged jobs like rough-in, trim and final?
It can. Each stage carries its own checklist, so a panel changeout moves from rough-in to trim, inspection and final with nothing skipped and the whole crew seeing the same status.
How does Linq handle EV charger installs?
There is a dedicated playbook: load calculation, permit, and the rebate paperwork all attach to the job, so the install and the incentive claim travel together.
Can I build panel-change estimates with per-circuit pricing?
Yes. Estimates support per-circuit line items, the customer taps to accept from their phone, and the signed quote converts straight into the staged job.
What does Linq cost for an electrical contractor?
Flat monthly plans with a user cap and no per-user pricing, so adding an apprentice costs nothing. The Solo plan starts at $49 per month, Crew is $149 and Shop is $349. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card, and a one-click import from Jobber, Housecall Pro, or CSV.
How is Linq different from Jobber for electrical contractors?
Jobber is a solid generalist platform and an easy recommendation for straightforward service work. Linq goes deeper on the parts electricians feel every week: permit and inspection tracking, staged jobs from rough-in to final, and per-circuit estimates, all on flat plans with a user cap. The full breakdown is in our Linq vs Jobber comparison.
