Electrical work ranges from $150 outlet installations to $15,000+ panel upgrades and whole-house rewiring. Every card payment costs your electrical business 2.5%–3.5% in processing fees. For an electrical contractor doing $40,000–$100,000/month in card sales, that's **$12,000 to $42,000 per year**.
