What a missed call costs a San Diego electrical shop
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
An insurance adjuster calls about a fire investigation tied to an aluminum-wired junction box. You're under a crawl space pulling a rough-in. The call goes to voicemail and the adjuster moves on to the next contractor on their approved list.
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.
Where the math breaks even
Break-even is one recovered job a month for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one electrical lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
Pick a pickup mode
You decide who picks up first. Run the human-first mode: your phone rings, and Avidra only steps in if the call goes unanswered. Or run the AI-first mode: Avidra picks up live and transfers when the caller wants a human. Most shops start human-first because the customer relationship still flows through you. AI-first makes sense once the volume is past what one person can handle.
Both pickup modes run on the Free tier. AI voice answering and SMS text-back are included at $0, with 30 voice minutes a month.
The phone end of your shop
Avidra owns the phone end of your shop. It picks up calls, runs the qualifier, captures the job, and relays the messages you ask it to send. Everything past the phone stays with you. Pricing, scheduling, dispatch, billing all live in 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.

Calls electricians in San Diego actually take
Here's what your line catches on a normal week. Flickering lights on one circuit after a renovation. Dedicated circuit for a hot tub install. GFCI outlet that keeps tripping after a bathroom remodel. EV charger install quote on a 200A service. Each is the same opportunity. The phone is the bottleneck.
After hours, the calls shift. The patience is shorter and the stakes are higher. Half the house lost power, neighbors still have it. Outlet melted around the plug. Fast pickup is the difference between the job and a callback that never gets returned.
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.
Volume changes by season. Pickup rate shouldn't. Avidra fires the text-back the same way in February as it does in July, on a slow Tuesday or during a heat-advisory week.
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
Can it capture photos of the panel?
MMS replies with photos are captured and attached to the lead summary.
Can I disable booking outside business hours?
Yes. After-hours messages can be set to capture-only with a next-business-day callback.
What about emergency calls like a burning smell?
Burning-smell and arcing-panel descriptions trigger a 'shut off the main and call 911 if you see flames' message before the booking conversation.
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.
