A virtual receptionist suits a shop that needs repeatable intake while the owner or dispatcher is occupied. Ours can ask about a service request, record a quote inquiry, book into Google Calendar, and send the conversation details for review. It answers as your business while identifying itself as a virtual assistant and announcing recording.
A live answering service brings a person to the conversation. In-house staff can also know your customers and the details of work already underway. Those strengths matter when a call needs judgment beyond the instructions you supplied. Choose by trying a real front desk task in our interactive call demo, then checking whether the result gives you what you need to respond.
Book Service Calls and Quote Visits While You Work
Your receptionist can book service and quote visits into Google Calendar or gather details for your callback. You choose which approach matches how your shop schedules electrical work.
Record the electrical problem and caller details before the next step.
Take panel upgrade and EV charger inquiries through your intake questions.
Use Google Calendar booking or keep appointment decisions with your team.

Booking starts with the reason for the call. A caller asking about an EV charger visit needs a different intake from someone reporting an electrical problem. Your receptionist follows the services and service area you set, then books an appointment or prepares a callback message.
You can keep schedule decisions with your dispatcher if each visit needs review. In that case, the receptionist collects the request rather than promising a slot.
Booking a visit does not establish the scope or final price of electrical work. Your team makes those decisions using your normal process. See the booking options before choosing what your receptionist should do on those calls.
Take Panel, EV Charger, and Generator Install Requests
Your receptionist collects install inquiries for the work your business accepts, including panels, EV chargers, or generators. You set the scope, and your team evaluates the job itself.
Capture a request for an upgrade estimate and your callback.
Gather the caller's install request under your shop's intake policy.
Include generator work only when it belongs on your service list.

Install calls become requests your team can review, with the caller's details and the work they are asking about. Tell your receptionist whether your shop offers panel upgrades, EV charger installations, generator work, or only some of those services. Include the jobs you decline as well as the ones you accept.
The receptionist gathers information for your next conversation; it does not design an installation or give wiring instructions. If an install inquiry includes sparks, a burning smell, shock, or smoke, the safety script comes first: keep away, touch nothing; everyone out first if smoke or flames; main breaker off only at a dry panel safe to reach; call 911. Your on-call electrician is then alerted.
Answer Price Questions Under Your Shop's Policy
Your receptionist follows the price policy you provide instead of inventing a quote. Tell it what callers may hear about charges and when your team must review the request.
Tell the AI how your shop explains its price policy.
Use callback intake when a request needs your review.
Read transcripts to see what callers asked and were told.

Price questions need instructions your receptionist can follow. During onboarding, explain whether your shop discusses charges on the phone, requires a visit before an estimate, or takes details for a callback. Give it the wording you want used for those situations.
For a panel upgrade inquiry, your receptionist can explain your estimate process without deciding the job's price. When the caller asks something outside the supplied policy, it takes a message for your team. Review the transcript to check that the wording fits your business, then change the instructions in plain language if needed. You keep responsibility for the accuracy of the policy and information you provide.
Give Your Dispatcher the Call Details and Urgency
Your dispatcher receives a summary, urgency tag, transcript, and recording by email and app push notification. The dashboard gives your team another place to review calls before responding.
Use the summary to understand why the caller contacted you.
See the urgency tag and review the caller's own words.
Open the transcript or recording for details behind the message.
Keep reading
Your dispatcher gets the intake in a form they can review before calling back or assigning the next action. A panel quote request, a service appointment, and an urgent electrical report should each give them a clear starting point. The transcript and recording help when a brief summary needs context.
The receptionist also sends a daily digest email, and the dashboard shows call history and usage. If your shop uses job software, your team enters the relevant summary there manually. For urgent calls, the handoff can be a warm transfer: your on-call person hears a short summary and presses 1 to accept. You can choose a page instead.
Cover the Calls That Interrupt an Electrical Workday
Your receptionist can handle daytime calls while your hands are occupied or your dispatcher is already speaking to someone. Choose forwarding that fits the way your shop works.
Collect new service calls while your team prepares for the day.
Take install questions when you are occupied at a job.
Use busy or no-answer forwarding when your dispatcher needs help.

A typical call flow can start with a customer asking for a panel estimate while you are preparing for a job. Later, an EV charger inquiry arrives while you are working, followed by a caller who prefers Spanish. Your receptionist uses your service rules and can switch between English and Spanish during a call.
These are examples of how you can use it, rather than a report from a customer. Choose full forwarding for regular front desk coverage or let your own phone ring first. Try one of these requests yourself, then inspect the result. Request a free trial for your receptionist; the onboarding chat will cover your own hours, area, and policies.
FAQ
Can a virtual receptionist handle both an emergency and an install quote?
It uses your intake rules to flag urgency and follows safety scripts for electrical danger. Install quotes follow your normal booking or callback policy. The AI is not an emergency service. For sparks, burning smells, shock, or smoke: keep away, touch nothing; everyone out first if smoke or flames; main breaker off only at a dry panel safe to reach; call 911, then it alerts your electrician.
Will it give callers DIY electrical advice?
No. Your receptionist takes information and follows the safety script instead of giving wiring steps. You define the services and information it can discuss during onboarding. Technical questions beyond that information become callback requests for your team to review and answer through your normal process.
Can it book EV charger quote visits?
Yes, if EV charger work is one of your services and you choose appointment booking. Your receptionist can book into Google Calendar after taking the request. You can instead have it gather details for your callback if your team needs to review the inquiry before scheduling.
Will callers know they reached an AI receptionist?
Yes. Your receptionist introduces itself as a virtual assistant and tells callers the conversation is recorded at the start of the call. Those notices cannot be switched off. Try the browser demo to hear the greeting and judge the conversation for yourself before setting it up for your business.
Does the receptionist speak Spanish?
Yes. Your receptionist speaks English and Spanish, and a caller can change languages during the conversation. It uses the same business knowledge and call rules for intake. You can try a Spanish call in the browser demo before adding your own services and policies during onboarding.
Can I use it alongside my office staff?
Yes. Keep your business number and choose busy or no-answer forwarding so your team can answer first. You can also use after-hours forwarding or send all calls to the receptionist. Test the route you choose and review call details with the people responsible for callbacks and appointments.
