Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
Old electricians say the calls come in threes. You handle one, two come in while you're driving, and the third leaves a voicemail too vague to act on.
When the phone rings and you can't
Your hands are at the meter base and the phone is in the cab.
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.
How Avidra runs both channels
Step 1 · AI picks up live, or texts back if you miss it
Two channels, one number. AI picks up by voice when it can. Otherwise the SMS text-back runs as a backup.
Step 2 · Qualifies the caller on whichever channel they're on
Voice intake or SMS intake, the data lands in your inbox the same way.
Step 3 · Transfer to you on call, or summary to your phone
On a voice call, the caller can ask for a transfer to your cell. On SMS, the lead summary lands on your phone the moment the intake completes.
Step 4 · The SMS thread stays open after, so they can text follow-ups
The text channel doesn't close when the call ends. The caller can ping you by SMS later and the AI handles the next round.
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.
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 Sherwood Park actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Double tap breaker that won't stay on after a storm. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. EV charger install quote on a 200A service. Service upgrade for a 1970s home with aluminum branch wiring. 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. Half the house lost power, neighbors still have it. Burning smell from a panel, lights flickering. 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.
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 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.
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 handle aluminum-wiring inquiries?
Yes. Aluminum-wiring requests are flagged and routed for a site visit estimate.
Can it ask about the panel amperage in the intake?
Yes. The intake includes a 'do you know your service size, 100A or 200A' question. Many homeowners answer it correctly.
