After-hours call answering for Terrebonne electricians
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
It's 9pm and a panel is buzzing in a 1960s home in Terrebonne. The homeowner pulled up a list of emergency electricians on their phone. You're the second one. The first answered. You didn't.
A Tuesday in Terrebonne
Tuesday at 9am you're loading the truck in Terrebonne. The first call of the day is a double tap breaker that won't stay on after a storm. You're already booked solid by the time it's transcribed and sent back to your inbox. Your hands are gloved, your boots are off, and the phone is in the kitchen on the counter. You'll get to it after this run.
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 outlet melted around the plug. Two missed calls, one half-day of revenue, no way to triage from a ladder.
What changes
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 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.
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 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.
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.
Calls electricians in Terrebonne actually take
The calls that land most often go something like this. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. Service upgrade quote tied to a kitchen reno. Double tap breaker that won't stay on after a storm. GFCI outlet that keeps tripping after a bathroom remodel. 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. Tree branch on a service drop after a wind storm. Outlet melted around the plug. 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
Will it handle EV charger inquiries differently?
Yes. EV charger inquiries trigger a branch that asks about service capacity, garage proximity, and timing.
Can it integrate with my scheduling app?
The lead summary can webhook into most scheduling systems.
Will it handle aluminum-wiring inquiries?
Yes. Aluminum-wiring requests are flagged and routed for a site visit estimate.
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.
