# AI Receptionist for Electricians

> A tripped panel or a burning smell is an emergency call, any hour. The AI answers every one, qualifies the safety risk, captures the address and job details, and texts your dispatcher a complete work order.

## 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 the AI asks callers
1. Can you describe what is happening, for example a tripped breaker, a dead outlet, or a project you want done?
2. Is this a single-family home, a condo, a commercial space, or something else?
3. 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.
4. Do you know if you have 100-amp or 200-amp electrical service? It is okay if you are not sure.
5. Is this a new installation or an upgrade that might need a permit, or is it a repair to something already in place?
6. 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 flagged as urgent
Safety instructions come first, including telling the caller to call 911 when a life may be at risk; the call is then escalated to the business as 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

## How it works
1. **Forward your existing number.** No new number for customers to learn. Forward your current business line to your After Hours AI number. Takes one code, no hardware, no app.
2. **The AI answers, every time.** Nights, weekends, lunch rushes, all of it. It answers in your business's name, in English or Spanish, and follows the caller's language mid-call.
3. **It captures the job, not just a message.** Name, number, address, and the details specific to your trade -- equipment, service type, urgency -- captured before the call ends.
4. **You get a text, not a voicemail.** The lead lands in your phone in seconds, ready to schedule or dispatch. No inbox to check, no messages to return.

## FAQ
**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 (https://afterhai.com/pricing).
