Why electrician calls go to voicemail
Electrical work demands both hands and full attention. The phone rings while you're in a live panel and can't look away.
You're in a live panel with the cover off.
One wrong move matters here — this is not a call you take. A general contractor's ringing about a rough-in on a new build, steady work for weeks. You can't answer. They call the next electrician.
You're up in an attic running new circuit.
Insulation everywhere, phone in the truck. A homeowner calls about a panel upgrade quote. By the time you're down, they've scheduled someone who picked up.
You're troubleshooting a dead circuit at a commercial site.
Meter in hand, tracing the fault — full focus. A property manager calls about an outage in another building. Voicemail. They escalate it to a company that answered.
You're driving to a service call across town.
Two calls come in en route. One's a customer confirming a time. The other's a $6,000 EV-charger and subpanel job. No voicemail, no callback number you'll ever see.
It's after-hours and half a house just lost power.
The homeowner smells something warm at the panel and is calling electricians fast. You're first. Voicemail. They call the next. The next one walks the emergency, handles the panel, and keeps the customer.
How Dash handles it — without pretending to be your firm
Dash doesn't pretend to be in your line of work. There is no industry script baked in — no "plumber mode," no "architect mode." That's the point.
You spend ~5 minutes in the onboarding wizard telling Dash about your business: what you offer, what you charge for a consult, what makes you different, what you do not take on, and — most importantly — the questions you want asked on every call.
Then Dash answers the phone, asks your questions, captures your intake fields, books on your calendar, and texts the caller a confirmation with your business details.
Why the intake questions matter more than the script
Every firm qualifies leads differently.
A home-services business needs to know the property address, urgency, and whether it's a repeat customer. A professional services firm needs to know project scope, timeline, and budget posture. A retail business needs to know what the caller wants and whether they need delivery or pickup.
Most AI receptionists hardcode a generic intake questionnaire ("name, number, reason for calling"). Dash asks the questions you write. If you change them next week, Dash asks the new ones starting on the next call — no retraining, no support ticket.
The differentiator isn't "we have AI." The differentiator is whose questions the AI asks.
What you set up in the wizard (about 5 minutes)
Bounded by what the onboarding wizard actually captures. No flowcharts, no decision trees, no developer.

Your key responsibilities

Live Agent Takeover
Your AI handles every conversation until you're ready to step in. Take over any chat or WhatsApp thread in real time from the FONE app.
Web Chat Takeover
A property owner asks about rewiring costs on your website. Your AI gathers the details, but when they need a custom bid for a commercial panel upgrade, you step in with one tap.
WhatsApp Takeover
A general contractor messages about wiring for a new build. Your AI handles the initial scope, but when code compliance questions arise, you jump in to advise directly.
Seamless Handoff
When you're done, release the conversation and your AI picks up right where you left off. Get your client the right information at the right time.
AI when you're away. You when it matters.
Your AI handles routine service calls and outlet installations. But when a customer reports flickering lights that could be a safety hazard, you're one tap away.
WhatsApp Built In
Customers report electrical issues, request quotes for panel upgrades, and schedule inspections on WhatsApp — and your AI handles it all instantly with booking and follow-up.
Live transfers, right inside WhatsApp. When a customer asks to speak with someone specific — Sales, Support, or a team member by name — the AI transfers the conversation instantly. The customer stays in the same WhatsApp thread while the new team member's AI assistant picks up. No links, no new chats, no friction.
Meet your customers where they already are. One WhatsApp number for Reception, Sales, Support, and every team member.

View PlansBuilt for Every Electrical Scenario
Emergency Repairs
Power outages, sparking outlets, tripped main breakers, burning smells — your AI triages urgency, captures details, and either books an emergency slot or escalates to your on-call electrician.
Panel Upgrades
Older homes need panel upgrades for modern loads. Your AI qualifies the lead — current panel size, home age, reason for upgrade — and books a site evaluation with your team.
EV Charger Installation
EV charger installs are high-margin, growing fast. Your AI collects vehicle type, garage setup, and panel capacity — then books the consultation automatically.
New Construction & Remodels
When contractors or homeowners call about wiring for new builds, additions, or kitchen remodels, your AI qualifies the project and books a walk-through with your estimator.
Safety Inspections
Home buyers, sellers, and insurance companies need electrical inspections. Your AI books these appointments efficiently, keeping your inspectors' schedules full.
Commercial & Residential
Your AI distinguishes between a homeowner with a flickering light and a property manager with a building electrical issue, routing each to the appropriate team with the right priority.
Connects to Your Favorite Tools
Your AI plugs straight into the tools every electrical contractor runs on — so it works inside the systems you already use, not beside them.
Your AI books electrical jobs into ServiceTitan, pulls customer and site history by phone, and flags emergencies for immediate dispatch — every call answered in under a second.
New work orders land in Jobber with the customer, address, and issue captured, so your electricians arrive ready and no job is lost to voicemail.
Scheduling and customer records in Housecall Pro stay current as your AI books and confirms each job around the clock.
Your Customers' Data. Protected.
Your electrical business handles sensitive information — home addresses, project details, payment information. One Dash Zero protects every piece of it.
Every call, chat, and appointment is protected by TLS encryption, SOC 2 compliant vendors, and automatically-tested tenant isolation between accounts. It runs on a serverless architecture powered by Cloudflare’s global edge network. No host OS or VMs to patch, no exposed database ports — application logic runs in isolated Workers sandboxes.
