Never miss an electrical service call in Kamloops

Three things electricians push back on

• “I don't want to book jobs that fail ESA inspection because of bad intake”

  Avidra's intake doesn't promise scope. It captures the basics and surfaces them for your review. You decide if it's worth a site visit before you commit to anything.

• “most of my work is referrals, I don't need more inbound”

  Referrals are also missed calls when they come at the wrong time. A referral who got your number from a neighbor and rang at 6pm isn't going to call back tomorrow if you don't pick up. Avidra catches those too.

• “I quote based on what I see in the panel, AI can't do that over the phone”

  It doesn't. Avidra asks where, what, and how soon. The actual quote is yours, after you've looked at the panel. The intake just gets you to the panel faster.

How Avidra answers your missed calls

1. Step 1 · Missed call detected

   A missed call to your business number lights up Avidra automatically. The first SMS fires before the caller has put their phone down.

2. Step 2 · SMS qualifier

   The intake is configurable. By default it asks the caller's name, the property address, what's going on, and how soon they need someone. You can edit the script to add or cut any of those.

3. 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.

4. Step 4 · You decide when to call back

   Avidra holds the line for you. The caller gets a soft check-in after a configurable interval. You stay in control of when the human conversation starts.

Two ways to set it up

Two setup paths. Path one is forwarding: your existing business number stays the front door, calls ring to your phone, and Avidra only catches the unanswered ones. Path two is direct: the Avidra number is the front door, AI picks up every call live, and it transfers to your cell when the caller asks for a human. Most one-truck shops use path one. Larger shops with reception coverage usually move to path two.

The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.

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.

Calls electricians in Kamloops actually take

You probably recognize these patterns by now. GFCI outlet that keeps tripping after a bathroom remodel. Dedicated circuit for a hot tub install. Double tap breaker that won't stay on after a storm. Service upgrade quote tied to a kitchen reno. Each one is a job you'd close if you could pick up the phone.

After-hours patterns are tighter. The urgency is higher and the timeline is shorter. Burning smell from a panel, lights flickering. Tree branch on a service drop after a wind storm. Whoever answers first books it. Everyone else gets the voicemail tone.

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.

Most electricians can predict the peaks. The trick is keeping pickup steady through them. Avidra doesn't surge-price during your busy weeks and doesn't go quiet during the slow ones.

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.
