ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
An AI receptionist for electricians
who are on a ladder when the phone rings.
Electrical contractors miss calls for an obvious reason: the people who answer the phone are the people doing the work. An AI receptionist answers on your existing business number, finds out whether the caller needs a repair, an estimate or a project quote, captures the address and details, books the visit where your rules allow and escalates anything that sounds dangerous.It follows your safety script word for word. For burning smells, sparking, or a hazard, it tells the caller to leave the area and contact 911 or their utility before it does anything else, then alerts your on-call electrician.

EXAMPLE
A Tuesday afternoon while the crew is on site.
The call is answered
2:15pm, everyone on jobs A homeowner calls about installing a Level 2 EV charger. Nobody in the office is free; the AI receptionist picks up on the first ring.
The right questions
Scope captured It asks about the vehicle, garage location, distance from the panel and whether the panel has been upgraded, using the questions your estimators asked for.
Address checked
Inside the area The address is within your service radius, so it offers two estimate times from your calendar.
Estimate on the calendar
Booked The homeowner picks Thursday morning. A confirmation text goes out and the job notes are attached to the appointment.
Ready for the estimator
End of day Your estimator opens a booked visit with photos requested and panel details noted, instead of a voicemail that says 'call me back about a charger'.
LIMITS
What it will not do for an electrical contractor.
It does not diagnose electrical problems or tell a caller whether something is safe. For anything that could be a hazard it reads the safety instructions you provide, tells the caller to contact emergency services or their utility where your script says so, and escalates to a person.
It does not quote prices unless you give it fixed prices to quote, such as a trip charge. Estimates and project pricing stay with your team.
It does not decide permit or code questions. It can say what you have told it about permits and inspections and pass the rest to the estimator.
Review this workflow with your team.
Bring one routine request and one exception. Review existing-number forwarding where supported, plus AI transparency.
