Quick answer
An electrician answering service answers the phone for an electrical contractor and books the next step. This virtual receptionist is the All Hours AI receptionist. It answers 24/7, including business hours. Included on Pro at $597 a month. A dead kitchen and a tripping breaker feel urgent to the homeowner. If the electrician is in a panel across town, that call goes to whoever answers. That is on top of everything in Advanced: the website, lead inbox, follow-up, missed-call text-back, and review requests. Monthly billing has a one-time $597 setup fee. Quarterly and annual billing waive it.
Does this work for contractors outside Florida?
The office is at 6901 Professional Pkwy E, Ste 232, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34240. The phone is (775) 297-0297. We work with contractors outside the 941. Most of our clients are on the Suncoast between Tampa and Fort Myers, and everything we build runs remotely, so distance isn't a limit. The service-area pages name Florida cities. Pro is $597 a month and includes the All Hours AI receptionist. Answers 24/7, including business hours. It answers in English and Spanish. Advanced is $297 a month and does not include the receptionist.
Live answering service vs an AI receptionist for electricians
A live answering service is a person who answers and takes a message to pass along. What that person is allowed to book depends on the service. This page does not quote a live answering service's price. The virtual receptionist on this page is the All Hours AI receptionist. Picks up when you can't, in a natural voice, in English and Spanish. Add it to Advanced or get it on its own. Pro and Master include All Hours.
Pro is $597 a month and includes the All Hours receptionist, 1,000 minutes. Answers 24/7, including business hours. Qualifies the job and flags emergencies. Books estimates on your calendar. Transfers to you live when you're free. After Hours is $147 a month for 350 minutes, added to Advanced or on its own. Answers nights, weekends, and holidays. Takes the message and texts it to you. It does not answer during business hours. Advanced is $297 a month and does not include the receptionist.
What happens to an after-hours electrical emergency call?
The All Hours receptionist qualifies the job and flags emergencies. A breaker that will not stay on, part of the house without power, or a burning smell at a panel is the call to treat as urgent. A panel upgrade, an EV charger, or a lighting remodel that can wait for an estimate is a routine booking. It books the visit, and it can transfer to you live when you're free.
You set the after-hours rules. Missed calls still get a text within seconds, and you can route after-hours calls to ring whoever is on call. That text-back is included on Advanced and on Pro. On Pro, the All Hours receptionist answers 24/7, including business hours. After Hours is $147 a month for 350 minutes, added to Advanced or on its own. Answers nights, weekends, and holidays. Takes the message and texts it to you. It does not answer during business hours.

How does it handle an outage versus a panel upgrade estimate?
The All Hours receptionist qualifies the job and flags emergencies. A breaker that will not stay on, part of the house without power, or a burning smell at a panel is the call to treat as urgent.

You set the after-hours rules. Missed calls still get a text within seconds, and you can route after-hours calls to ring whoever is on call. That text-back is included on Advanced and on Pro.

Breaker · Outlets dead. Visit booked.
Does it book into ServiceTitan or your calendar?
It books the visit on your calendar. The customer gets a confirmation and a reminder by text. If you already run ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber, Contractor Systems connects so the lead is in the tool you dispatch from. It does not replace those products. Service Fusion and FieldPulse are on the electrician list too.
The receptionist does not troubleshoot the circuit. It records the breaker, the dead outlets, and a time, and it flags the call so your office can see it. The full list is on integrations. Plumbers can read the plumber receptionist page.
