Electrical answering service
Answer every call, from outages to panel upgrades
Plans start at $49/mo · Keep your number
Live the same day
Hours, services, a number. Most businesses are answering before close.
Same price 24/7
From $49/mo. No night surcharge.
A human when it matters
True emergencies ring the on-call phone you set.
An electrical answering service answers outage, safety, and quote calls 24/7. Elody is an AI receptionist for electricians. It flags sparking and no-power as emergencies, books panels and installs on your calendar, and texts you the scope so you can stay in the panel. Plans start at $49/mo.
Electrical calls mix emergencies with quotes
A tripped breaker and a burning smell are not the same job. Voicemail treats them the same: nobody gets an answer, and the emergency calls the next electrician.
Bad option 01
You take every call on the ladder
Unsafe, and you still miss the ones that come in while you're in a panel.
Bad option 02
Voicemail
An outage does not wait. A panel quote might, but they'll call someone who picks up.
Bad option 03
A generic answering service
They don't know what to escalate, and they don't capture the install.
What it does on those calls.
Answers 24/7
Every call gets a professional answer, day or night, so the job doesn't walk.
Escalates safety issues
Sparking, outages, or a burning smell go to your on-call phone.
Books panels, installs, and repairs
Routine work lands on your calendar with the details you need.
Captures the scope
Indoor vs outdoor, new vs repair, address, and callback.
Coverage that matches how the work actually shows up.
Power issues don't keep business hours
Evenings and weekends are when homeowners notice the problem.
Some calls cannot wait
You decide what rings through. Elody follows that list.
Quotes still need a human voice
A live answer on a panel upgrade beats a voicemail if they're gathering three bids.
Why electrical businesses run Elody.
Sparking rings you. A lighting quote books.
You stay in the panel. Dangerous calls hit on-call. The rest lands on the calendar.
Scope before you roll
Indoor vs outdoor, new vs repair, address, callback. Enough to quote without a second interrogation.
Panels and installs get a time
The visit is on your calendar while they're still on the line.
Keep the number on the van
Forward from the ladder. Or when your business line is unanswered.
Set up your electrical answering service in four steps.

Go live
Every call ends with a text and an email. Summary, transcript, and the appointment on your calendar. Urgent ones also page you.
