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
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
The line still rings to your phone first. When you don't pick up, Avidra picks up the conversation by text instead.
Step 2 · SMS qualifier
An SMS lands on the caller's phone within seconds. It identifies itself as your business and walks the caller through a short intake.
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
The caller doesn't get ghosted while you finish what you're on. Avidra keeps the conversation alive until you're ready.
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.
Free tier includes both. AI voice and SMS text-back are both in the $0 floor, so neither pickup mode costs extra.
Where Avidra stops
Avidra handles the intake call, the back-and-forth qualifying, and the relay messages you ask it to send to your customers. The phone is the part it owns. The work past it stays with you and 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 Vernon actually take
The calls that land most often go something like this. Service upgrade quote tied to a kitchen reno. Outlet sparking when a vacuum gets plugged in. Service upgrade for a 1970s home with aluminum branch wiring. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. 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. Tree branch on a service drop after a wind storm. Outlet melted around the plug. 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.
After-hours and on-the-ground in Vernon
FSR Class A or B is required for the contractor of record in BC, with electrical permits filed through Technical Safety BC.
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 integrate with my scheduling app?
The lead summary can webhook into most scheduling systems.
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.
Will it handle aluminum-wiring inquiries?
Yes. Aluminum-wiring requests are flagged and routed for a site visit estimate.
Will it handle EV charger inquiries differently?
Yes. EV charger inquiries trigger a branch that asks about service capacity, garage proximity, and timing.
