For electrical contractors

An answering service for electricians that works while you're on the tools.

Hands in a panel is the one time you genuinely cannot take a call. On First Call answers it, qualifies it, and puts it on your calendar.

Some calls you shouldn't answer

In most trades, missing a call is an inconvenience. In electrical work, stopping mid-task to dig your phone out is a genuinely bad idea.

You're in a live panel. You're up a ladder. You're mid-way through a job where losing your place has consequences. The phone is not something you pick up, and it shouldn't be. So the call goes unanswered, and a homeowner with a dead circuit or a burning smell moves down the list.

The same goes for the quieter half of your work. A general contractor calling about a rough-in, or a property manager who needs a recurring commercial fault looked at, will not chase you. They call the next electrician who answers and that relationship goes with them.

What happens when someone calls

It answers on the first ring

No hold music, no phone tree, no "press 1 for service." The caller starts talking to something that responds like a person, at 2pm on a Tuesday or 2am on a Sunday.

It finds out what's actually wrong

Name, address, and a plain description of the problem — asked the way a good dispatcher asks, so you know what you're walking into before you get there.

It checks your real calendar, live

Not a callback list. It reads your actual Google Calendar during the call and only offers times that are genuinely open.

It books the job and assigns it

The appointment lands on the calendar before the caller hangs up, routed to whichever tech is least loaded that day.

It texts everyone the details

The customer gets a confirmation with the time, address, and problem, and replies Y to confirm. Your tech gets the job on their phone. Nothing lives only in someone's head.

What it does with an electrical call

It gets a usable description of the fault

"No power in half the house," "the breaker keeps tripping," "there's a burning smell at the outlet" — captured in the customer's own words and attached to the booking, so you can judge urgency and what to bring.

It flags what shouldn't wait

Some electrical calls are genuinely urgent and shouldn't sit in a message queue until evening. Those can be routed to reach you immediately.

It handles residential and commercial the same way

Whether it's a homeowner with a tripping breaker or a property manager scheduling a fault call, the booking lands on the calendar with the address and the description attached.

It keeps quotes and walkthroughs on the books

Estimate visits are appointments too, and they're the ones most likely to get lost in a callback pile. They get scheduled and confirmed like any other job.

And when they need to move it

Plans change, and the reschedule is where most small shops lose the job entirely — the customer calls back, nobody picks up, and they book with someone else instead.

Here, the customer just texts. They get a short list of times that are actually open, reply with a number, and the calendar updates itself. No one at your shop touches it.

Hear it yourself

There's an unedited recording of a real call on our homepage — a customer books a leaking water heater, then reschedules by text a few minutes later. Start to finish, nobody at the business was involved.

Questions we get from electricians

Can it tell an urgent electrical call from a routine one?

It captures what the caller describes and can flag urgent calls so they reach you right away rather than waiting in a message list. It doesn't diagnose the fault — it makes sure you hear about the ones that matter immediately.

Does it work for commercial as well as residential?

Yes. The booking flow is the same either way: it captures who's calling, the site address, and what's wrong, then books against your live calendar.

Can it book estimate and quote visits?

Yes — a walkthrough is an appointment like any other, and those are usually the first thing that falls through the cracks when nobody's answering the phone.

What happens if a caller asks something it can't answer?

It doesn't invent an answer. It takes the details and hands the call off so a person can follow up, rather than guessing at pricing or a diagnosis it has no business giving.

Will it quote prices to my customers?

Not unless you want it to. Most electrical work can't be priced sight-unseen, and a wrong number over the phone costs you more than the call was worth.
