What calls look like for electricians

Electrical calls range from a dead outlet to a full panel upgrade, and the caller usually can't tell you which one they need. Some are urgent (a breaker that keeps tripping, a burning smell, half the house dark). Many are planned projects: new lights, a ceiling fan, an EV charger in the garage.

Project calls are often shopping calls. The homeowner calls three electricians and goes with whoever responds and gives them a time. Being first to reply matters even when the job isn't an emergency.

One missed call, start to finish

Example with a made-up business. The texts below are what the customer and you would see.

11:05 AM. Priya calls Brightline Electric. You're pulling wire through an attic on a remodel. Nobody answers.

Emergencies jump the line

You pick the words that mean drop everything. For electricians that's usually things like sparks, burning smell or power out. When a customer uses one, the job alert says URGENT and the job is pinned to the top of JobStation, the app where you run your jobs.

Set it up the way electricians work

Let the form do the scoping. The EV charger option asks what the circuit is for and how far it is from the panel. The panel upgrade option asks about fuses or breakers, the age of the home and what's prompting it.
Mark safety words as urgent. Add words like sparks, burning smell or power out. Those alerts are marked URGENT and pinned to the top of JobStation.
Block off long jobs. If you're on a rewire all week, tap the times in JobStation to block them so nobody books over it.

Questions from electricians

Can customers describe the problem before I call them?

Yes. They pick from options like Outlet or switch not working, Power out or breaker tripping, or Panel upgrade or rewiring, then answer two short follow-up questions. You get it all in one text.

What if someone reports sparks or a burning smell?

Add those words to your emergency list. The job alert is marked URGENT and pinned to the top of JobStation, so you see it first.

Can I quote before booking?

You can turn booking off in Settings if you'd rather call everyone back. Callers still get the text, answer your questions, and you get the details to quote from.

Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. The booking form has an Español button, and customers who use it get their texts in Spanish too.
