Pricing transparency

Real pricing.
Here's how.

Every price on Electrum Home is built from over a decade of real project data, regional labor rates, and live equipment pricing — not guesses, not ballpark ranges, not lead-gen bait.

01 — Where prices come from

Built from real project data. Not averages.

We've priced over $1 billion in home projects since 2013. That history powers our estimates — we know what a 3-ton HVAC install actually costs in Tampa versus Boston, what permits run in your county, and what licensed labor rates look like in your zip code.

Equipment prices are cross-referenced against manufacturer MSRPs and distributor pricing — not inflated to create the illusion of a discount. What you see is what the job actually costs.

02 — Locked at booking

The price you see is the price you pay.

When you book through Electrum Home, your price is locked. Not “subject to change after a site visit.” Not “plus materials.” Locked. The only thing that can change your price after booking is a genuine scope change you approve in writing — like discovering your ductwork needs replacement during an HVAC job.

You get an itemized estimate

Every line item broken out — equipment, labor, permit, haul-off. No lump sums that hide where your money goes.

You book at that price

Your card is charged the estimate total. Nothing more is billed without your explicit written approval.

Your pro shows up and does the work

No renegotiation at the door. No surprise invoice at the end. The scope is agreed before anyone picks up a tool.

03 — Best price guarantee

Found a lower price for the same job?

On qualifying projects, if you get a written quote from a licensed contractor for the same scope of work at a lower price, we'll match it. No games, no runaround.

We can make this guarantee because our pricing is already built to be fair. In most cases, you won't need it — but knowing it's there should give you confidence when you hit Start.

Same scope

The competitor quote must be for the same project scope, equipment tier, and market.

Licensed pro

The quote must be from a licensed, insured contractor in your area.

Written quote

Not a verbal estimate — a written quote you can share with us.

Qualifying projects

Best price guarantee applies to major projects (HVAC, roofing, EV charger, solar, remodels). Not recurring services.

04 — Built for your specific project

Every estimate is scoped to your home. Not a template.

When you describe your project, we're not pulling a national average and adding a ZIP code multiplier. We're building a scope from your specific inputs — your home's age and setup, the equipment tier you choose, the exact work required.

Your local labor rates and permit costs are factored in because they affect your real price. But the bigger thing is that your job is priced as a job, not as a category. A 3-ton HVAC replacement in a 1970s house with a difficult attic isn't priced the same as a straightforward swap in new construction. That's the difference.

Your project scope

Size, age, access, configuration — the details that actually drive cost. We ask the right questions upfront so the price reflects the actual job.

Local labor rates

Regional HVAC, electrical, roofing, and plumbing labor rates updated quarterly from licensed contractor data in your market.

Local permit costs

County-level permit fee schedules for major project types. Pulled from public records, updated regularly.

Equipment at real cost

Cross-referenced against manufacturer MSRP and distributor pricing. No markups to create the illusion of a discount.

05 — Real prices, by region

What projects actually cost in your market.

Labor, permits, and equipment all vary by region. These are real price ranges for common projects — not inflated estimates, not ballpark guesses.
