Frequently asked questions. Everything you need to know.
What is an AI receptionist for electrical contractors?
An AI receptionist for electricians is an intelligent voice assistant that answers phone calls 24/7, captures job details, detects emergencies like power outages and electrical fires, schedules service appointments, and dispatches electricians—all without human involvement. It handles calls during business hours, after hours, weekends, and holidays, ensuring you never miss a potential job or safety emergency.
Can an AI receptionist handle electrical emergency calls?
Yes. AI receptionists are specifically trained to detect urgent electrical situations such as power outages, electrical fires, sparking outlets, burning smells, exposed wiring, and panel failures. When an emergency is detected, the system automatically flags the call as high priority and sends instant alerts to on-call electricians via SMS, email, or WhatsApp.
Will customers know they are speaking with an AI?
The AI introduces itself professionally and focuses on helping the caller quickly. Most customers care more about fast, helpful assistance than whether the receptionist is human or AI. The experience is seamless, natural, and professional—many callers don't realize they're speaking with AI until the call is complete.
How does AI electrician answering compare to traditional answering services?
AI answering services provide instant responses without hold times, work 24/7 without breaks or sick days, cost 85-90% less than hiring staff, and maintain perfectly consistent quality. Traditional services are limited by staffing, training, availability, and often put callers on hold during busy periods—exactly when electrical emergencies happen most.
What electrical contractor software does the AI integrate with?
AgentZap integrates with popular electrical and field service software including ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Workiz, and more. This allows automatic job creation, calendar syncing, and technician dispatch without manual data entry.
How much does an AI electrician answering service cost?
AgentZap pricing starts at $79/month for electrical contractors—a fraction of the $47,000-$62,000 annual cost of hiring a full-time receptionist or dispatcher. You get 24/7 coverage with 50-500 calls included, emergency detection, and dispatch software integration included.
What happens during extremely complex electrical situations?
AgentZap includes intelligent human escalation protocols. When the AI detects situations requiring human judgment—such as major commercial projects, insurance claims, or customers who specifically request to speak with a person—it can seamlessly transfer the call to your team or schedule an urgent callback.
Does the AI work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. AI receptionists provide true 24/7/365 coverage, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Every call is answered instantly regardless of the time. This is especially valuable for electrical contractors since many emergencies occur outside normal business hours.
Can the AI schedule appointments and dispatch electricians?
Absolutely. The AI can access your calendar in real-time, book service calls, inspections, and estimates during the call, and automatically sync with your dispatch system. For emergencies, it can immediately notify the on-call electrician with all job details.
How does the AI capture electrical job details?
The AI follows customizable intake scripts to capture all relevant information: caller name, address, problem description (outlet issues, panel problems, power loss area), property type, safety concerns, and preferred callback time. All details are organized and sent to your team instantly.
What if I only need after-hours coverage?
AgentZap offers flexible configurations. You can use the AI receptionist as overflow during busy periods, after-hours only, or as your primary phone system 24/7. Most electrical contractors start with after-hours coverage and expand once they see the results.
How quickly can I set up AI answering for my electrical business?
Most electrical contractors are fully operational within 24-48 hours. Setup includes configuring your business hours, emergency protocols, dispatch preferences, and software integrations. Our team handles the technical configuration so you can focus on serving customers.
What is an electrician answering service and how does it work?
An electrician answering service is a phone answering solution that handles calls for electrical contractors when they can't answer.

AgentZap integrates with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and Jobber to create jobs and sync appointments in real-time.
What is the difference between a traditional electrician answering service and an AI receptionist?
Traditional electrician answering services use human operators who take messages and forward them to you—typically charging $1-3 per call. AI receptionists like AgentZap provide more functionality at a flat monthly rate: 24/7 instant answering (no hold times), appointment booking during the call, emergency detection for power outages and electrical fires, automatic dispatch to on-call technicians, and real-time sync with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro. AI receptionists also handle unlimited simultaneous calls during storms or outages, while traditional services get overwhelmed.

For emergencies like power outages, the AI bypasses scheduling and dispatches the on-call electrician immediately.
Can the AI handle electrician scheduling for residential and commercial jobs?
Yes. AgentZap handles both residential and commercial electrician scheduling with customizable intake questions for each type. For residential calls, it captures home details, panel location, and safety concerns. For commercial jobs, it can gather business hours, facility manager contacts, and scope requirements. The AI can also route calls based on job type—sending commercial projects to your commercial team and residential to residential specialists.
How does the AI receptionist help solo electricians?
For solo electricians, AgentZap solves the impossible problem of answering phones while working on a job site. The AI handles every call—even while you're in an attic or panel—booking appointments, capturing job details, and texting you summaries. You never miss a call or lose a job to voicemail. Starting at $79/month, it costs less than losing one $350 service call. Solo electricians report capturing 30-40% more jobs after switching from voicemail to AgentZap.
Does AgentZap work for multi-truck electrical companies with dispatch needs?
Yes. AgentZap scales from solo operations to multi-truck electrical companies with sophisticated dispatch needs. Features for larger operations include: smart routing based on technician location or specialty (residential, commercial, industrial), on-call schedule management for after-hours emergencies, team notifications via SMS/email/Slack, and integration with ServiceTitan dispatch boards.
