Electrician Answering Service FAQ

How does the answering service know it's an electrical emergency?

Our electrician phone answering service is specifically trained for electrical businesses. It recognizes emergency keywords like "power out," "no electricity," "sparking," "burning smell," "breaker tripping," and "electrical fire." When detected, it immediately flags the call as urgent and follows your emergency dispatch protocol—whether that's calling your on-call electrician, sending an SMS alert, or both.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI answering service?

Most customers don't realize it's automated. Our electrician answering service sounds natural, handles interruptions well, and is trained on real electrical service conversations. Many of our electrical contractor clients tell us customers compliment their "receptionist." You can customize the voice, name, and personality to match your brand.

Can it handle calls about permits and inspections?

Yes! The AI can answer common questions about your permit process, schedule inspection appointments, and collect information needed for permit applications. You can customize the responses based on your local requirements and procedures.

Does it integrate with ServiceTitan/Housecall Pro?
