AI Receptionist for Electricians
You cannot answer a phone with your hands in a live panel.
Electrical work demands both hands and full attention, and stopping to take a call is not just inconvenient, it is the wrong thing to do. So the phone rings out — and the calls you are missing range from a nuisance breaker to a house with no power and a customer who is frightened.
The calls an electrical contractor misses
- A whole house with no power, where the customer cannot tell a utility problem from a service problem
- A breaker that keeps tripping and a homeowner who is worried about fire
- A general contractor calling about a rough-in or an inspection date
- A commercial customer whose sign, freezer circuit or lighting is down
- A panel upgrade or generator quote that has been sitting in their head for weeks
After hours
A power problem at night is frightening in a way a slow drain is not. Those callers keep dialing until somebody answers, and the first voice they reach usually gets the job.
What HelloZay asks your callers
- Whether the whole property is out or just part of it
- Whether anything is smelling hot, sparking or burnt
- Whether the neighbours also have no power, which points at the utility
- Residential, commercial, or new construction
- The address and the best callback number
Then it sends you the whole thing as a text and an email — name, number, and what they called about — so you can decide who to ring back first without listening to a single voicemail.
How it works
It answers
Every call, in a natural voice, however many come at once.
It takes the details
Name, number, and what they need — then texts and emails you the summary.
It never stops
Nights, weekends and holidays, at the same flat monthly price.
Common questions
Can it screen out utility outages?
It asks whether the neighbours are also without power and puts the answer in the summary. That one question saves a lot of drives to houses where the problem belongs to the power company.
What about safety calls?
HelloZay asks whether anything is sparking, smelling hot or burnt, and that goes at the top of the summary you receive. It is not a substitute for emergency services and does not pretend to be — it makes sure you see the serious call first.
Will contractors take it seriously?
It answers in a natural, professional voice, takes the job details, and sends you the summary. A GC calling about a rough-in date gets an answer instead of a voicemail box, which is more than most of your competitors are offering them.
