AI phone receptionist for electricians in Grande Prairie

Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee

A homeowner's outlet just sparked when they plugged in a vacuum. They called you because you wired the kitchen reno four years ago. You're on a service call across Grande Prairie and won't be back for two hours.

When the phone rings and you can't

You're up on a ladder with one hand on a breaker. The phone is in the truck.

What Avidra does

Avidra is a text-back system that runs the second you miss a call. The caller gets a real reply, not a voicemail loop. You get a structured lead with the basics filled in.

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.

How Avidra answers your missed calls

Step 1 · Missed call detected
Any unanswered call to your business number triggers an instant SMS to the caller. No setup per call, no manual approval.
Step 2 · SMS qualifier
The SMS opens with a brief acknowledgement, then asks the qualifying questions you'd ask if you'd answered.
Step 3 · Job summary to your phone
The qualifying answers land in your inbox as a clean lead summary. No app to open. No dashboard to check.
Step 4 · You decide when to call back
Avidra holds the conversation while you finish the current job. The caller stays warm. You decide if and when to follow up.

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.

The phone end of your shop

Avidra owns the phone end of your shop. It picks up calls, runs the qualifier, captures the job, and relays the messages you ask it to send. Everything past the phone stays with you. Pricing, scheduling, dispatch, billing all live in 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.

Calls electricians in Grande Prairie actually take

The calls that land most often go something like this. GFCI outlet that keeps tripping after a bathroom remodel. Panel swap quote for a pre-1950 home with knob and tube. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. EV charger install quote on a 200A service. Pick up first and you book the job. Pick up second and you don't.

Off-hours calls run differently. Tighter, more urgent, less willing to wait until morning. Outlet melted around the plug. Tree branch on a service drop after a wind storm. The shop that picks up fast keeps the work.

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.

For most electricians, the call volume isn't flat. You probably already plan staffing and on-call coverage around the peaks. Avidra runs the same in busy season as in slow. No per-call charges, no surge pricing when the inbox gets loud.

Setup is short

Setup is a 10-digit phone number and a short script. You forward your missed calls to the Avidra number that gets assigned at signup. You edit the default intake script to match how you talk to a new lead. That's the whole setup.

Most owners run their first real test inside an hour of signing up. The honest test is to miss a call on purpose from a friend's phone and watch what happens. The text fires. The follow-up questions land. You see the lead summary on your phone.

The five-second window

Speed is the whole game. A caller who got voicemail and then got a confirmation email twenty minutes later has already booked the next number on the list. A text-back inside five seconds reads as a real reply. The caller responds while they're still mentally on the call. The human callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.

Common questions

What if a permit is required, will it disclose that?

Yes. Permit notice can be included in the intake message for your region.

Can it capture photos of the panel?

MMS replies with photos are captured and attached to the lead summary.

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.

Will it book a panel-swap inspection?

Booking is on you. The intake captures the request and gathers the basics.
