AI Receptionist for Electricians

Stop sending live electrical calls to voicemail while your hands are full.

A 24/7 AI phone system for electrical contractors. Captures service calls while you're in a panel or up a ladder, triages true emergencies (no power, burning smell, sparking), and books the rest onto your schedule.

What this fixes

  • ×You can't answer with both hands on a panel — and the homeowner with no power just calls the next electrician on Google.
  • ×After-hours calls blur together: some are true emergencies (sparking, burning smell, no power to half the house), most can wait until morning. Voicemail can't tell them apart.
  • ×Quote and 'can you come out?' calls interrupt every job you're already on.
  • ×The same questions all day: service area, panel upgrades, EV charger installs, how soon can you come.

What it actually does

  • ✓Answers every call within 2 rings, including while you're mid-job, and captures name, address, and the exact electrical issue.
  • ✓Triages urgency on your rules — sparking, burning smell, or total power loss get flagged and texted to you within 60 seconds; routine work gets scheduled.
  • ✓Books non-urgent service visits and quote appointments straight onto your calendar with the job notes attached.
  • ✓Sends the homeowner a confirmation text so the appointment is in their phone, and a clean summary to you.

The cost math

Office manager or answering service
$35-45k/year for a part-time office manager, or $300-800/mo answering service with per-call overage
Hand-deployed
$8k one-time deployment + ~$100/mo provider usage
Net
One recovered emergency or panel-upgrade job can cover a month of provider cost; the deployment pays back inside the first year for most shops

When this isn't the right first move

If you're a solo electrician who already returns calls between jobs and isn't losing work to voicemail, you may not need this yet — fix it when missed calls start costing you jobs.

True electrical emergencies still need a human decision fast. The AI flags and routes them to you; it doesn't diagnose. Keep your judgment in the loop for the dangerous calls.

Best fit
  • Electrical shops with 1+ trucks where the phone rings during jobs
  • Contractors doing panel upgrades, EV chargers, and service work worth real money per job
  • Owners losing after-hours and weekend calls to voicemail
Not for you if
  • Solo operators who already capture every call between jobs
  • Shops that work exclusively as subs with no inbound homeowner calls
