Electrician answering service and AI receptionist

How an electrical call is handled

Attach the business number. Call24 uses the greeting you wrote and asks for the name, callback, address, and the work: an outage, sparking, a panel, an outlet, lighting, or a remodel. It can also ask if the power is out in one room or the whole house, and if they want an estimate or a callback today. It does not diagnose the wiring.

After hours, the same number still answers while it is active. No power, sparking, or a panel the caller says is hot or buzzing can feel urgent. The assistant does not give electrical advice, and it does not contact emergency services. You can tell it to collect the name, callback, address, and what they see so a person calls back. It does not send an electrician.

Calls after the shop closes are covered on the after hours answering service.

Booking an estimate is a calendar event, and only if you connect Google Calendar. The assistant can create that event from the call. The event is not a promise that the estimate is sold or that a truck is already on the way. If the calendar is not connected, the office books the follow up from the call log.

The call summary the office reads is that saved note. Name, callback, address, and the work land in the call log, with a recording when one is available. The handoff is a message, a calendar event, or a stop. Your office reads the log and decides who goes next.

Routing an urgent call is optional. If you add a Transfer Call tool, you define the routing logic and the live destinations, and the assistant can transfer the call. A sparking or outage call can go to the electrician who is on call. Without that tool, the assistant does not send the caller to someone on a job.

Call24 connects to tools already shown on the site, including Google Calendar, Jobber, and ServiceTitan. Those names are on the integrations page. Google Calendar can create an event from the call. Other tools are connected from the account after you sign in. Connecting a tool does not dispatch a truck.

Monthly plans are $99 and $199. Included minutes are on the Pricing page.

Electrical sits with plumbing, HVAC, and roofing on the AI receptionist for home services page. You write the greeting and the questions for that shop.

After hours calls for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC crews are also covered in Call coverage for plumbers, electricians, and HVAC companies.

From the ring to the shop

The assistant follows the script you wrote. It does not promise a booked estimate.

1. They dial the business number you attached.
2. Your electrical greeting plays, including the work you take.
3. The assistant asks for the name, callback, address, and the work.
4. An estimate event is created only if Google Calendar is connected.
5. A live transfer runs only if you added a Transfer Call tool and defined the destination.
6. The call is saved, with a recording when one is available. A person follows up from that summary.

Common electrical calls

Examples of calls the script can take. These are product scenarios, not customer reviews.

• Outage after hours. The shop is closed and the power is out. Call24 takes the name, callback, and address, and saves the call. It does not send an electrician, and it does not contact emergency services.
• Sparking while you are on a job. You are on another job. An outlet that is sparking still rings the business number. The assistant writes down the address and what the caller sees.
• Panel or breaker. They want a panel looked at, or a breaker that keeps tripping. The assistant records their words. It does not diagnose the panel.
• Lighting, outlet, or remodel estimate. Someone wants lighting, an outlet, or a remodel looked at. If Google Calendar is connected, the assistant can create an event. You still confirm the visit.

What the call covers

• The request. Outage, sparking, panel, outlet, lighting, or a remodel. What they want looked at, in their words.
• The address. Name, callback number, and the property, written down for the person who follows up.
• The summary. The call log holds the note, with a recording when one is available. It does not give electrical advice, and it does not contact emergency services.

What you set for electrical

• The greeting, including what you do and do not cover.
• Questions for the name, callback, address, and the work.
• A calendar event, only when Google Calendar is connected.
• A call log the office can read after the job they are already on.
