After-hours call answering for Sherbrooke 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 Sherbrooke
Tuesday at 9am you're loading the truck in Sherbrooke. The first call of the day is a EV charger install quote on a 200A service. You're already booked solid by the time it's transcribed and sent back to your inbox. The phone's ringing in the truck cab and you're 14 feet up on a ladder.
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 burning smell from a panel, lights flickering. 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.
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.
The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.
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.
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.

Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Calls electricians in Sherbrooke actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Outlet sparking when a vacuum gets plugged in. Service upgrade for a 1970s home with aluminum branch wiring. Service upgrade quote tied to a kitchen reno. Dedicated circuit for a hot tub install. Each is the same opportunity. The phone is the bottleneck.
After hours, the calls shift. The patience is shorter and the stakes are higher. Half the house lost power, neighbors still have it. 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.
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 it capture photos of the panel?
MMS replies with photos are captured and attached to the lead summary.
Can it integrate with my scheduling app?
The lead summary can webhook into most scheduling systems.
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.
