Practical AI for electricians
AI for electricians. Answer the call you can't answer.
You're in a loft, behind a consumer unit or halfway through a rewire. The phone rings and you can't touch it. A missed-call text-back sends the caller a message asking what they need, so you pick the job up when you're down. I set it up for you.
Nothing is charged until you agree. No jargon, and no obligation.
Why electricians lose jobs to missed calls
Electrical work doesn't mix with answering the phone. Power's off, gloves are on, you're up a ladder. Callers with a tripping fuse or no power at all often ring more than one electrician and go with whoever replies first.
A text within moments says you've seen the call, and asks for what you need to know: what's happened, and where. It works the same for domestic, commercial and testing work.
What your caller gets
Hi, it's [your company name]. Sorry I missed your call, I'm on a job at the moment. What do you need help with, and where are you? I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
You can change the wording to suit domestic or commercial customers. See the full explanation of missed-call text-back.
Other places AI can save a electrician time
- Following up quotes for rewires, EV chargers and consumer unit changes
- Drafting replies to enquiries, which you check before they go
- Asking for a review once the certificate's done
- Turning rough job notes into a tidy write-up
Today I set up the missed-call text-back. The rest is where your top 3 can point you, and I'll tell you honestly what's possible.
What it won't do
- It doesn't quote or book. It starts the conversation, and you take it from there.
- It can't text callers who withhold their number, or ring from a landline that can't receive texts.
- Diverted calls can use minutes on some mobile plans. Check yours, or ask me to.
- I can't promise a number of extra jobs or customers. It fixes one gap, and that's all.
What it costs
Missed-call text-back is £59 a month plus a £195 one-off setup. Prices are provisional while package terms are confirmed. VAT and terms are confirmed before you buy, and nothing is charged until you agree. An AI receptionist, Aimy, is coming soon but isn't live for customers yet.
Questions electricians ask
Can customers still ring my existing number?
Yes. Nothing changes for them. They ring the number they already have, and only unanswered calls trigger the text.
Does it work for commercial jobs too?
It texts whoever rang and you missed. Whether that's a homeowner or a facilities manager, they get the same message, so I keep the wording neutral.
Can you promise more jobs?
No. I can't tell you how many extra jobs you'd win. It closes one gap, missed calls, and that's all.
