24/7 Call Answering for electricians
Never miss an emergency call or job request. Our AI receptionist handles customer calls professionally and dispatches electricians instantly.
Why electrical contractors are switching to AI answering agents
Most electrical contractors handle calls the same way: your phone rings while you're up a ladder, wrist-deep in a panel, or driving between jobs. You either answer and try to schedule while balancing a flashlight, miss it entirely, or let it roll to voicemail. Some hire a spouse or office manager to answer. A few pay for answering services. All of these "work" but none of them actually book the job.
The real cost shows up in missed emergencies. A homeowner calls at 7 PM because half their house went dark. You're at dinner with family. The call goes to voicemail. They call three other electricians before you check your messages. By morning, someone else has the $800 panel repair. Multiply that by a few times per month and you're leaving serious money on the table.
AI answering agents do what your voicemail can't: they have a conversation. They ask what's happening, determine if it's an emergency, collect the address and contact info, and book the appointment right into your calendar. For true emergencies like burning smells or exposed wires, they can text you immediately while keeping the customer on the line.
For the caller, the difference is huge. Instead of leaving a message and hoping someone calls back, they describe their problem, answer a few questions, and get a confirmed appointment. They hang up feeling taken care of. That peace of mind is often why they hire you instead of whoever calls back first.
The math makes sense for most electrical contractors. You're probably missing 5-10 calls per week you could have booked. At $300-500 per average service call, even capturing one or two extra jobs per month pays for the service many times over. Contractors already paying for answering services often save money while getting better results.
This works whether you're a one-person operation or running a crew. If you're losing jobs because you can't answer the phone while working, AI answering pays for itself quickly.
You can't answer when you're in a panel or on a ladder. Those calls become someone else's revenue.
One missed emergency call costs more than six months of AI answering service.
Emergencies don't wait for business hours. Neither should your phone coverage.
