What a missed call costs an Austin electrical shop
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
You're up on a ladder with one hand on a breaker and the phone in the truck. Someone's calling about a panel quote. It'll go to voicemail and they probably won't leave one.
What Avidra does
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 text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the homeowners are in your inbox before you do.
Where the math breaks even
Break-even is one recovered job a month for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one electrical lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
Pick a pickup mode
You decide who picks up first. Run the human-first mode: your phone rings, and Avidra only steps in if the call goes unanswered. Or run the AI-first mode: Avidra picks up live and transfers when the caller wants a human. Most shops start human-first because the customer relationship still flows through you. AI-first makes sense once the volume is past what one person can handle.
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 Avidra does and doesn't
Avidra answers calls live with AI voice, or texts missed callers back if you'd rather. It runs your intake script. It captures jobs and relays messages to your customers when you ask. What it doesn't do: write your invoices, schedule your techs, replace your dispatcher, or pull customer history from your CRM.
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.
Your assistant for the calls you do answer
Avidra isn't just for missed calls. The owner side runs on text and voice too. From a truck or a job site, you can text the Avidra number to relay a message to a specific customer, ask how today's leads are shaping up, or have the AI book a callback. It does what a human dispatcher would do, on whichever channel you're already using.
Calls electricians in Austin actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. Service upgrade for a 1970s home with aluminum branch wiring. Outlet sparking when a vacuum gets plugged in. Panel swap quote for a pre-1950 home with knob and tube. Each is the same opportunity. The phone is the bottleneck.
After hours, the calls shift. The patience is shorter and the stakes are higher. Outlet melted around the plug. Burning smell from a panel, lights flickering. 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.
Common questions
Will it handle EV charger inquiries differently?
Yes. EV charger inquiries trigger a branch that asks about service capacity, garage proximity, and timing.
What if a permit is required, will it disclose that?
Yes. Permit notice can be included in the intake message for your region.
Does it know commercial versus residential?
The script branches on the first question. Commercial intake captures business name and licensed-electrician contact.
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.
Will it book a panel-swap inspection?
Booking is on you. The intake captures the request and gathers the basics.
