Missed call answering for electricians

In a roof space when the phone rings? It still gets answered.

  • Set up once with a call divert on your phone
~52%

In home services, a person answered only about 52% of inbound calls. The rest never got a human on the line.

The calls a sparky misses, and what happens to each one.

It answers like a good offsider would, and it doesn't make promises you didn't make: only your suburbs, only your free times, and never a price outside your own price guide.

No power or a tripping safety switch

Texted straight to you as urgent, with a tap-to-call number.

Sparking powerpoints or a burning smell

If the caller says it's urgent, you get it straight away, not in a queue.

Lights, fans and powerpoints

Books the small installs into times you're actually free, in suburbs you cover.

Smoke alarms

Captures the address, the job and the timing, and books it in.

Switchboard upgrades and bigger quotes

Takes the details and books a time. It never prices outside your own price guide.

Callers who hang up

A text back within seconds, so they don't ring the next sparky.

What lands on your phone

Run the whole thing by text. From the ute.

No logins, no app, no portal. You get a text when there's a job, and you reply like you'd reply to your mate.

FAQ

Fair questions from electricians.

What happens with a burning smell or a sparking powerpoint?

It asks what's happening and how urgent it is. Anything the caller says can't wait is texted straight to you with their number, so you can ring them back yourself.

Will it give the customer electrical advice?

It's there to answer, take the details and book the job, the way a good offsider would. You decide what to tell the customer. Reply "I'll ring them" and call them yourself.

Can it fit small jobs around a big install day?

It only offers times you're actually free, so a quick powerpoint job won't get booked on top of a full day's install.
