AI phone receptionist for electricians in Port Coquitlam
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
It's 9pm and a panel is buzzing in a 1960s home in Port Coquitlam. The homeowner pulled up a list of emergency electricians on their phone. You're the second one. The first answered. You didn't.
When the phone rings and you can't
The tone generator is mid-trace. You can't break the circuit to grab the phone.
What Avidra does
Avidra answers your phone with AI voice the moment a call lands. The caller hears a real voice. You get a structured lead summary on your phone, the same way a text would arrive.
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 calls
Step 1 · AI picks up
The AI receptionist takes the call live. It opens with your business name and asks the caller what they need.
Step 2 · Qualifies the caller live
The AI walks the caller through the questions you'd ask. Configurable per trade, per shop, per script.
Step 3 · Transfers to you when they ask, or summarizes when they don't
Transfers route to whatever cell you've assigned. The AI doesn't hold the caller hostage if they want a human.
Step 4 · Lead summary lands on your phone
When the call ends, Avidra packages the answers into a short text and sends it to your phone.
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.
The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost 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.

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 Port Coquitlam actually take
Most of these will look familiar. EV charger install quote on a 200A service. GFCI outlet that keeps tripping after a bathroom remodel. Panel swap quote for a pre-1950 home with knob and tube. Outlet sparking when a vacuum gets plugged in. 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. Half the house lost power, neighbors still have it. 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.
Getting Avidra answering your phone
Setup is two minutes. You connect your business number to Avidra, either by porting it or by setting your existing line to ring the Avidra number. The AI picks up from then on. You edit the default intake script to sound like your office, and the first real call uses your voice and your business name.
Most owners are live before lunch on the day they sign up. The honest test is to call your own line and have the AI answer. The questions land. The summary fires. You see the intake on your phone.
Why live pickup beats voicemail
Voicemail is where service leads go to die. A homeowner who hits voicemail at 7pm and gets a callback at 9am has already booked the next name on the list. Avidra picks up live, so the conversation starts in the first ring. By the time the caller would have hung up on voicemail, the AI has already captured the caller's name and address along with the basics of the call. The follow-up 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.
Will it book a panel-swap inspection?
Booking is on you. The intake captures the request and gathers the basics.
What if a permit is required, will it disclose that?
Yes. Permit notice can be included in the intake message for your region.
Will it handle aluminum-wiring inquiries?
Yes. Aluminum-wiring requests are flagged and routed for a site visit estimate.
Can it capture photos of the panel?
MMS replies with photos are captured and attached to the lead summary.
