Lights out? Call still answered.
An AI receptionist for electricians is a phone assistant that answers calls for an electrical contractor, sorts service calls from estimate requests, and books the right visit on the spot. Some callers have half the house without power. Others want an EV charger, a panel upgrade or recessed lighting. The assistant answers each one in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and in 32 languages. It checks the ZIP and street against your service area, asks the caller to text a photo of the panel by MMS, and books the estimate into Google Calendar or Calendly. A breaker that keeps tripping with a burning smell gets marked urgent in the summary, and the caller is put through to your on-call electrician if they ask for a person. Prices are quoted as ranges from your own rates. Plans start at $249 a month, with a free five-day pilot and no credit card.

Electricians:
questions and answers.
It gives a range from the rates you loaded and books an on-site estimate for the firm number.
It marks the call urgent, takes the address and rings your on-call electrician if the caller asks for a person. Your script can also tell callers to contact emergency services.
Yes. It asks what you told it to ask and puts the answer in the summary, so the right person follows up.
On Standard and Enterprise it syncs both ways with HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, Zoho CRM or Pipedrive. Anything else connects through the webhook.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
