Jessica flags it urgent, gets the address and details, and texts your on-call team in seconds.
Why electricians lose jobs to voicemail.
Safety calls can't wait for morning
Sparking outlets, dead panels and smoke from a fixture are emergencies regardless of the hour. The first electrician to answer gets the job, and the liability of ignoring it isn't worth the risk.
New-construction and remodel leads call in bursts
Bid requests and remodel leads come in waves around contractor schedules, often outside your office hours. Every one that goes to voicemail is a job that finds someone else.
Missed details mean a second truck roll
Panel size, breaker count, permit status: get it wrong on intake and your electrician shows up without the right materials. The AI gets it right the first time, every time.
What Jessica asks your callers.
The questions a good dispatcher asks, asked every time, so the lead that lands on your phone is ready to schedule.
- Can you describe what is happening, for example a tripped breaker, a dead outlet, or a project you want done?
- Is this a single-family home, a condo, a commercial space, or something else?
- Do you know how old the electrical panel is, or what brand it is? Some older panels like Federal Pacific or Zinsco may need special attention.
- Do you know if you have 100-amp or 200-amp electrical service? It is okay if you are not sure.
- Is this a new installation or an upgrade that might need a permit, or is it a repair to something already in place?
- Is there easy access to the panel and the areas where work is needed, or are there any challenges like a finished ceiling or a tight crawl space?
Emergencies she flags right away.
When a caller describes one of these, Jessica gives any safety instruction first, including telling the caller to call 911 when a life may be at risk, then treats it as urgent and gets it to you fast instead of filing it with the routine calls.
Urgent
- Burning smell or visible smoke coming from an outlet, switch, or panel
- Sparks shooting from an outlet, switch, or appliance connection
- Buzzing or crackling sounds coming from the walls or panel
- Partial power outage in the home with no obvious cause such as a tripped breaker
- Breaker that trips repeatedly and will not stay reset
Routine, booked normally
- One outlet stopped working but nearby outlets are fine
- Planning to add circuits for a kitchen remodel or home addition
- Upgrading the panel ahead of installing solar or an EV charger
- Older home needing a routine electrical safety inspection
- Installing new light fixtures, ceiling fans, or under-cabinet lighting
She knows the words your callers use.
- panel
- The main electrical panel, also called a breaker box or load center, where circuits are controlled by breakers or fuses.
- breaker
- A safety switch inside the panel that trips and cuts power to a circuit when it detects an overload or fault.
- circuit
- A complete path of wiring that carries electricity from the panel to outlets, lights, or appliances and back.
- GFCI
- Ground fault circuit interrupter, a safety outlet or breaker that shuts off power instantly when it senses a ground fault, commonly required near water sources like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.
- AFCI
- Arc fault circuit interrupter, a breaker that detects dangerous arcing in wiring and shuts down the circuit to help prevent fires.
- service upgrade
- Replacing an older or undersized electrical service with a higher-capacity one, commonly going from 100-amp to 200-amp or higher service.

What electrical contractor owners ask.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Customers keep calling the number on your truck, sign and Google listing. Your carrier forwards unanswered calls to After Hours AI. Turning it off takes one code.
How is this different from an answering service?
A live answering service reads a script and takes a message. The AI actually answers questions about your business, captures job-specific details, and books or dispatches, the same as a trained employee would.
How fast can I be live?
Most electrical contractors are live within 48 hours of signing up. Setup is entirely remote, no one has to visit your shop.
What does it cost?
Plans are month to month with no long-term contract. Current plans and what each includes are on the pricing page.
