An AI receptionist for electricians that answers the trust question too

“Are you licensed?” gets a straight answer

Electrical customers worry about hiring the wrong person, because what goes wrong is a fire. Many ask about your licence before they ask about price. Give the receptionist your licence number and insurance details exactly as issued, and it reads them out when asked. A caller who hears that on the first call does not need to go looking.

The panel that will not reset, and the charger next month

An electrician gets two kinds of call. A breaker that keeps tripping or half the house dark is urgent. A panel upgrade, a hot-tub circuit or a garage EV charger is planned work that turns into a quote.

For the urgent call, you write what it says. For example, if a caller mentions a burning smell or sparks, you might have it tell them to call 911 first. It gives no electrical advice of its own beyond your words. For the planned job it takes the details, and the quote you send afterwards gets a nudge on day three and day seven if nobody answers it.

Up a ladder with your phone in your pocket

Say you are halfway through a rough-in when the phone buzzes three times. You cannot answer and you should not try. Each call becomes a text: name, number, address, what they need. A call you miss altogether gets a text back within seconds asking what they need, so the caller has a reason to wait for you.

What it costs and what it leaves out

If most of your work comes from a few general contractors who text you directly, a receptionist will have little to do.
