Electrician Answering Service That's Also Your Phone System
Homeowners and contractors reach your electricians first. When nobody can pick up, the AI receptionist answers 24/7, triages outages and safety calls, books the job, and logs every call, human or AI, in one inbox.
Keep your current number: port it over, or simply forward it.
Call it and play one of your customers. It's a demo line for a fictional company.

“There's a burning smell coming from the panel.”
Captures the symptoms and address, flags it a true emergency by your rules, and rings your on-call electrician, then texts the customer an ETA. It only wakes you if your rules say a human must.

Built around the calls you actually get
One system runs your phones, your dispatch, and your follow-up, from the first ring to the final inspection.
01
Answer every call, 24/7
AI picks up no-power, tripped-breaker, and burning-smell calls around the clock, and never drops a hazard to voicemail.
02
Talk callers through the hazard
For sparks or a burning smell, the AI tells the caller to cut power at the main and stay clear using the safety script you set, then rings your on-call electrician.
03
Screen outages from faults
The AI asks whether the neighbors have power too, so a utility outage doesn't cost you a truck roll for a problem that isn't yours to fix.
04
Qualify the big-ticket installs
Panel upgrades, EV chargers, and generator jobs get qualified and scheduled for a site estimate instead of dying in voicemail.
05
Book & dispatch automatically
Capture the address and the symptoms, drop the job on your calendar, and route it to the right tech, hands-free.
06
Handle permit & inspection calls
Inspector callbacks, reschedules, and permit questions are captured and routed to your office so nothing on a job slips.
07
Confirmations, ETAs & reviews
Auto-text a confirmation, a tech-on-the-way heads-up, and a review request once the work is signed off.
08

Recording, transcript, and summary for each call in a built-in CRM, so you see exactly what was promised.

What's different from forwarding calls to an AI receptionist?
Most AI receptionists just forward the calls you miss to their AI, so they only ever see those. Fast Response is the business line itself, so every call lands in one place.

Electricians, in depth
How much does a missed call cost you?
Why do electricians use an answering service?
Because a dead panel or a burning-smell call is urgent, the homeowner won't leave a voicemail, and you're up a ladder when it rings. Human answering services cover the overflow at $200-500 a month and still just take a message. Fast Response answers on your own business line, triages the hazard, quotes from your price ranges, books the job or dispatches your on-call electrician, and texts your crew a summary. Anyone can pick up any call live from the app, and those calls are logged exactly like the AI's.
A missed dead-panel call is an urgent job, plus the upgrade quote that follows it, gone to another electrician.
How much does an electrician answering service cost?
Traditional services run $200–500 a month plus after-hours fees for the hazard calls that come at night. Fast Response is $29 for the line with round-the-clock AI answering, $79 with automations and team accounts, $249 with outbound campaigns. Flat base, no per-seat charge, no contract.
When a panel dies or a homeowner smells burning, Fast Response answers on the first ring, captures the address and the symptoms, and decides whether it's a true emergency by rules you set. A real hazard rings your on-call electrician within seconds, with the details they need to roll. Routine work like a panel upgrade quote or an EV-charger install gets booked into your next open slot, and every call lands in one inbox with the recording and transcript.
Fast Response starts at $29/mo, and $79/mo covers your whole crew with no per-seat fees and no contract, far below the $200–$500/mo a traditional call center runs. You only pay more if you pass your monthly allowances. See full pricing →
Yes. You write the safety script; the AI follows it — telling the caller to cut power at the main and stay clear — then rings your on-call electrician immediately with the address and symptoms. It's triage and dispatch, not a diagnosis, so a real hazard reaches a licensed person fast.
It asks the qualifying questions you set — whether the neighbors have power, whether it's the whole house or one circuit — so an area-wide utility outage gets flagged instead of sending a truck for something the power company has to fix.
It won't quote a rewire sight-unseen, but it qualifies the job, captures the details, and books a site estimate — so panel upgrades, EV chargers, and generator inquiries turn into scheduled visits instead of missed calls.
Inspector callbacks, reschedules, and permit questions are captured and routed to your office with a full transcript, so a call that comes in while you're on a roof doesn't fall through.
Yes. Jobs and estimates are booked directly onto your connected Google or Outlook calendar, with a confirmation text to the customer.
Yes. You can port your existing number over to Fast Response, or keep it where it is and forward missed calls to your AI assistant. In our mobile app, your personal calls and Fast Response calls are clearly labeled on the call screen, so you always know which is which.
Yes. On any plan you can place calls and send single texts from the web or mobile app, and the AI can send one-to-one follow-up texts on your behalf. Mass outbound calling and texting — importing a list and launching campaigns — is on the Scale plan and requires A2P registration (approval usually takes 2–3 weeks). You're always in control of what goes out.
The AI answers calls in up to 40 languages and switches to the caller's language automatically. Transcripts are accurate in 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Dutch.
All data is encrypted in transit and stored on U.S.-based servers. Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries stay private unless you choose to share them, and we never sell your data.
