AI Receptionist for Electricians — Never Miss an Emergency
Your AI agent answers every electrical call, tells a sparking-outlet emergency from a next-day quote, books the routine work to your calendar, and reaches your on-call tech the moment safety is on the line.

Electrical calls split hard into two kinds, and treating them the same loses you money both ways. A burning smell, a sparking outlet, or a dead panel is a safety emergency that can't sit in voicemail until morning — the caller needs someone now and will reach the next electrician in seconds if you don't answer. At the same time, a request for a panel-upgrade quote or a question about permits can wait, and waking your on-call tech for it trains them to stop picking up. When every after-hours call goes to voicemail, you lose the urgent, high-ticket safety jobs and annoy your techs with the ones that could have waited — the worst of both outcomes.
Electrical emergencies don't follow a calendar — a dead panel, a sparking outlet, or a burning smell can come any day of the year, and storms or grid events can cluster them without warning. The demand pattern that matters is urgency, not season: the safety-critical call that arrives after hours is the one you can't afford to miss.
Calls you can't afford to miss
Safety emergency
A burning smell, sparks, or an electrical-fire risk is urgent and dangerous. The agent recognizes the safety language, asks whether anyone is in danger and whether the power can be cut, captures the address, and calls your on-call tech within seconds.
No power or dead panel
A whole house or a dead breaker panel that won't reset is a same-day job the caller wants solved immediately. The agent triages it, confirms the address, and escalates to your on-call tech or books the soonest slot instead of letting it ring out.
Quote or panel upgrade
A planned panel upgrade, EV-charger install, or rewire is a high-ticket estimate, not an emergency. The agent captures the scope, books the quote visit to your calendar, and keeps it off your on-call tech's phone at night.
Permit or code question
Callers often ask about permits, inspections, or whether work is to code. The agent answers the common questions from your configured script and books a visit when one is needed, deflecting the routine questions that don't require a callback.

One captured job pays for the plan
A safety-urgent electrical call is one the customer has no choice but to solve, so a call you answer is a job you keep and capturing it is pure recovered revenue. With service calls starting around $300 and panel upgrades and rewires running into the thousands, one saved emergency or booked upgrade quote covers the plan comfortably. Pricing is monthly: start with the $7 Test Drive (one-time, 7 days of full access), run on $39 Starter, or pick $99 Pro — recommended for trades — which carries enough conversations plus the extra lines for main, after-hours, and overflow coverage. Move to $249 Business at scale. Capacity is measured in conversations, not minutes, so triage calls and long quote calls are counted the same way.

electrical AI receptionist FAQ
Can the AI tell an electrical emergency from a routine quote?
Yes — that's the core of it. It listens for safety language like "sparks," "burning smell," and "no power," escalates those to your on-call tech within seconds, and books non-urgent calls like panel-upgrade quotes to your calendar without waking anyone up.
How does it handle an after-hours safety emergency?
It answers instantly, asks whether anyone is in danger and whether the power can be shut off, captures the address and callback number, and places a live call to your on-call tech — not a text or a voicemail the caller never reaches.
Can it answer permit and code questions?
It answers the common permit and inspection questions from the script you configure and books a visit when one is needed, so routine questions don't tie up your techs while real jobs still get scheduled.
Will it book straight into my calendar?
Yes. It books through Google Calendar or Calendly, offers only the slots you allow, and confirms with the customer. You decide what it's allowed to schedule.
What does it cost for an electrical contractor?
Monthly pricing: a $7 one-time Test Drive for 7 days of full access, $39 Starter, $99 Pro (recommended for trades), or $249 Business. A single captured safety emergency or booked upgrade quote covers the plan with room to spare.
