After-hours call answering for Aurora electricians
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
Three estimates booked for the morning, six service calls in the afternoon, and a callback for a panel swap that's already two days overdue. The phone rings at 11am. You're in a crawlspace with no service.
A Tuesday in Aurora
Tuesday at 9am you're loading the truck in Aurora. The first call of the day is a service upgrade quote tied to a kitchen reno. You're already booked solid by the time it's transcribed and sent back to your inbox. Your hands are gloved, your boots are off, and the phone is in the kitchen on the counter. You'll get to it after this run.
The 4pm call is a homeowner whose breaker keeps tripping in the kitchen. You can't take it. By 6:30pm there's an after-hours job too, a outlet melted around the plug. Two missed calls, one half-day of revenue, no way to triage from a ladder.
What changes
Avidra answers your phone, however you've wired it. Live with AI voice, or text-back if the call goes missed, or both running together. The caller gets a real response. You get the captured lead.
The Tuesday morning call still happens. You still can't answer mid-job. Now the homeowner gets a text in under five seconds asking the basics. By the time you're back in the truck the lead is qualified and sitting in your inbox.
How you wire it up
Avidra runs two ways. Keep your existing business number and forward to Avidra only when you can't pick up. The caller reaches you first. The AI handles the miss. Or use the Avidra number directly and let AI pick up every call, transferring to you when the caller asks. Most shops start with the first setup. The second works better once you've grown past one person on the phone.
Both pickup modes run on the Free tier. AI voice answering and SMS text-back are included at $0, with 30 voice minutes a month.
What it costs
Free for 14 days. No card to start. Plans after the trial run from a flat monthly rate, not per-call. Most electricians pay less per month than the value of one recovered job. See the pricing page for current numbers.
Where Avidra stops
Avidra handles the intake call, the back-and-forth qualifying, and the relay messages you ask it to send to your customers. The phone is the part it owns. The work past it stays with you and your existing tools.
The text won't quote a panel swap. It won't promise an inspection slot. It won't argue with a homeowner over the phone about whether their flickering is a loose neutral or a bad breaker. The intake gets you to the panel faster. Everything after that is yours.

73% of homeowners don't leave a voicemail. They call the next electrician on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Calls electricians in Aurora actually take
The calls that land most often go something like this. EV charger install quote on a 200A service. Panel swap quote for a pre-1950 home with knob and tube. Double tap breaker that won't stay on after a storm. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. Each is the same opportunity. The phone is the bottleneck.
After hours, the calls shift. The patience is shorter and the stakes are higher. Burning smell from a panel, lights flickering. Tree branch on a service drop after a wind storm. Fast pickup is the difference between the job and a callback that never gets returned.
What the year looks like
Year-round demand. Small spikes in summer for EV chargers and patio circuits, and again before holidays for outdoor lighting.
Volume changes by season. Pickup rate shouldn't. Avidra fires the text-back the same way in February as it does in July, on a slow Tuesday or during a heat-advisory week.
How setup actually works
Setup is forwarding plus a script. Your existing business number forwards to Avidra so the AI picks up live calls and catches the ones that ring through to voicemail. You edit the default intake script in both directions. Voice and SMS share the same questions.
Most owners are live the same day. The test is a single call from another phone. The AI answers the call, walks the caller through the intake script, and captures the lead. After that, ring busy and watch the text-back fire.
Why speed matters more than channel
The lead is warm for about five minutes after the call. After that, the caller has scrolled to the next name and most likely already dialed. Email lands too slowly to matter for booking decisions made in that first five minutes. A text-back inside seconds keeps the caller engaged through a short intake while you finish the current job. By the time you call back, the lead is qualified and already expecting your voice.
After-hours and on-the-ground in Aurora
ESA permits and inspections are required for almost all permanent wiring work in Ontario. Master license is held by the contractor, and the inspection schedule is part of the job timeline.
Common questions
What about emergency calls like a burning smell?
Burning-smell and arcing-panel descriptions trigger a 'shut off the main and call 911 if you see flames' message before the booking conversation.
Can I disable booking outside business hours?
Yes. After-hours messages can be set to capture-only with a next-business-day callback.
What if a permit is required, will it disclose that?
Yes. Permit notice can be included in the intake message for your region.
Will it book a panel-swap inspection?
Booking is on you. The intake captures the request and gathers the basics.
Does it know commercial versus residential?
The script branches on the first question. Commercial intake captures business name and licensed-electrician contact.
