Example conversation

Illustrative only

  1. Customer

    Hi, half the outlets in our living room stopped working, and I'm trying to find out whether someone can come take a look.

  2. AI Receptionist

    I can collect some information and help with the company's next-step process. Before we continue — is there any smoke, fire, sparking, or a burning smell right now?

  3. Customer

    No, nothing like that. They just went dead this morning.

  4. AI Receptionist

    Understood, I'll log it as a residential service call for outlets that lost power. Can I get the service address and the best callback number?

Wording, intake questions, and scheduling behavior are configured per business. No two Luxive receptionists follow the same script.

The problem

The phone doesn’t wait until the job is finished.

Electrical work demands full attention and both hands. The calls that matter tend to arrive in exactly the minutes nobody can safely answer them.

A tech is at an open panel and shouldn't be reaching for a phone
Someone is in an attic run between two junction boxes
The van is between addresses across town
The owner is walking a job with a customer
Both office lines are already occupied
It's 9pm and half a house has no power
A windstorm knocks out a block and the phone doesn't stop
A property manager needs service at a specific unit
A general contractor wants an electrical bid this week
A homeowner is calling down a list of three electricians

How it often goes

  1. 1A circuit goes dead
  2. 2They call your shop
  3. 3The line rings out
  4. 4They call the next electrician on the list

With a receptionist in place

  1. 1They call your shop
  2. 2The receptionist answers
  3. 3The request is categorized
  4. 4Address and details are captured
  5. 5Your configured next step begins

Plenty of unanswered calls were never going to become jobs, and some callers ring back. The point is narrower than that: the conversation continues instead of ending at a ring-out.

Capabilities

Configured for the calls electrical contractors actually receive.

Which of these apply to your receptionist depends on your workflow, your phone system, and what your configuration includes.

Identify the type of request

Approved questions separate a dead circuit from a panel upgrade quote, an inspection request from a commercial maintenance call. The conversation establishes the category — it never attempts to work out what's wrong with the wiring.

Collect the job information

Caller name, callback number, service address, property type, residential or commercial context, new or existing customer, a plain description of the request, preferred timing, and the urgency indicators you approved. Only the fields your workflow uses.

Organize estimate and install leads

Panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, standby generators, lighting projects, remodels, new construction, and commercial bids arrive with different information needs. Each can carry its own intake path — none of them get a price unless you configured one.

Scheduling support

Connected to a compatible system, callers can request or take a time that fits your availability, job category, service area, and the technician or department that handles that work. Calendar access stays inside the rules you set.

Approved answers to routine questions

Hours, service areas, what work you take, residential versus commercial coverage, estimate and inspection policies, financing availability, how to prepare for a visit. Every answer comes from information you supplied — nothing is invented.

After-hours intake

Late callers are answered, told your after-hours policy in your own wording, and recorded for whichever escalation or next-morning follow-up you configured. No same-night visit is promised on your behalf.

Coverage through demand spikes

A windstorm, a neighborhood outage, or a seasonal push can bring in more calls than the office can pick up. Callers still reach a consistent first response while your team works the queue.

Structured call summaries

Depending on your configuration, each conversation can be organized into a summary and delivered to your team or passed into the workflows your setup includes.

Intake stays as short as the workflow allows. A caller who wants a quote on an EV charger shouldn’t be walked through the questions written for a dead circuit.

Example electrical call

A room with no power, handled carefully.

Example electrical call — final questions and workflows are customized for each business.

Note what never happens: no theory about a tripped breaker, no suggestion to open the panel, no instruction to reset anything, no guaranteed dispatch time. It runs your approved danger check, categorizes the request, confirms the address and service area, and leaves the scheduling commitment to your office.

  5. Customer

    It's 812 Wilcox Avenue in Bend, and my number is 541-555-0148. Dana Reyes.

  6. AI Receptionist

    Thanks, Dana. That address is inside the service area. Are you an existing customer, and would a morning or afternoon window suit you better?

  7. Customer

    First time calling you. Afternoon is easier.

  8. AI Receptionist

    I have it as a new-customer service request with an afternoon preference. The office will confirm the visit window with you directly — they set the schedule, not me. Anything else you'd like added to the notes before they call?

Wording, intake questions, and scheduling behavior are configured per business. No two Luxive receptionists follow the same script.

Urgent calls

Urgent calls need clear rules — not improvised advice.

A burning smell at 11pm means one thing at a shop with an on-call electrician and something else at a two-van operation. Your company writes the definitions; the receptionist follows them.

You decide

  • The exact language the receptionist uses on the phone
  • Which described warning signs trigger your emergency script
  • What information is collected before anything else happens
  • When a call is transferred to a person instead
  • When your team is notified, and through which channel
  • What your after-hours policy says out loud
  • When a caller is directed to emergency services

The AI receptionist is not a licensed electrician. It does not diagnose electrical problems, provide repair instructions, or replace emergency services.

It follows approved workflows rather than deciding for itself how dangerous a situation is. If a caller reports fire, smoke, severe sparking, or a shock, it reads only your emergency script — directing them toward emergency help and away from the hazard.

Implementation

Built around your electrical business.

Nothing here is instant. The receptionist is assembled from your information and tested before it speaks to a customer.

01

Understand the business

We gather approved information about your services, hours, service area, scheduling practices, common questions, safety language, and how you want each type of call treated.

02

Design the call flows

New service requests, existing customers, estimate and installation inquiries, commercial calls, after-hours contacts, potential danger indicators, scheduling, and the point at which a person should take the call.

03

Configure and test

The receptionist is assembled from your approved material and run against realistic electrical scenarios — the awkward ones included — before a customer reaches it.

04

Launch and refine

We put it live, review how real calls are handled, and adjust the flows as your crew size, service mix, and seasonal demand change.

Beyond the call

The electrical service journey keeps moving.

A service call, EV-charger inquiry, inspection request, or commercial lead can follow a separate path while licensed judgment stays with your team.

  1. 01

    Tag the request by residential, commercial, service, installation, inspection, or estimate intent.

  2. 02

    Collect the approved job details and route safety-sensitive descriptions under your escalation rules.

  3. 03

    Create the opportunity, assign ownership, and request or book the appropriate consultation or visit.

  4. 04

    Continue configured reminders, estimate follow-up, payment links, and review requests after team-approved milestones.

Every downstream action depends on your agreed workflow, connected systems, and business rules.

Your team

Call coverage that works around the field team.

People still carry the work that matters most: technical decisions, sensitive complaints, complex estimates, unusual job requirements, dispatch calls, and the relationships behind repeat business. This covers the hours and moments they can't.

Primary coverage

For owner-operated shops running the truck, the bids, and the phone at once.

Overflow for the office

When the second and third lines ring while staff are already booked on the first.

Nights and weekends

After-hours intake handled your way, without standing up a live rotation.

Cover during field work

Panels, attics, crawlspaces, and drive time stop costing you the conversation.

A consistent first step

Every caller answers the same questions before a person picks the thread back up.

Backup through gaps

Meetings, lunch breaks, sick days, and the stretch between hires.

Comparison

Four ways to cover the line, side by side.

The right answer depends on call volume, workflow complexity, and how often a conversation needs a person. For some shops the honest answer is still a hire.

Voicemail

  • Always available, never responsive
  • No address, no category, no confirmation
  • Plenty of callers hang up instead of recording
  • Costs nothing beyond your phone bill

Traditional answering service

  • Live people on the line
  • Usually a short, general script
  • Built to relay messages rather than run your intake
  • Commonly billed per call or per minute

Added office coverage

  • Best judgment on difficult or sensitive calls
  • Knows your customers, your crews, and your bids
  • Covers only the hours you staff
  • Hiring, training, and payroll

Custom AI receptionist

  • Answers outside staffed hours
  • Configured to your services, area, and rules
  • Runs the same intake on every call
  • Scheduling and workflow support when connected
  • Hands off to people where you said it should
  • Requires a build and testing period first

FAQ

Questions electrical contractors ask first.

It answers the line when the crew is on a ladder or on the road, works through the intake questions you approved, files the call under a category your office already uses — service call, panel upgrade, EV charger, lighting, inspection, commercial — and moves the details along the path you defined.

Yes. Evening, weekend, and holiday callers get a conversation rather than a voicemail tone. What happens next is your decision: hold the intake until morning, state your after-hours policy in your own wording, or trigger the escalation route you configured.

It can flag calls against criteria you write down — a burning smell, a sparking outlet, a total loss of power at a commercial site — and act on your instructions. It does not judge technical risk on its own, and we don't claim it will catch every serious situation from a phone conversation.

No. It is not a licensed electrician and it does not attempt to determine what failed. It records what the caller describes in the caller's own words and passes that to your team.

No. It will not tell anyone to open a panel, reset a breaker, or touch wiring. The only exception is a specific instruction your company has written and approved in advance, and even then it is read verbatim rather than improvised.

With a compatible scheduling system connected, callers can request or take a slot that respects your service area, job types, and booking windows. Without one, it still captures preferred timing so your dispatcher can confirm the visit.

Yes, and they can be routed differently. A homeowner asking about a dead circuit and a facilities manager requesting a lighting retrofit quote can each run through their own intake path.

It follows your transfer, message, and notification rules. Complaints, pricing negotiations, complex bids, and anything requiring licensed judgment get handed to a human rather than improvised.

Most business lines can be forwarded or routed to the receptionist so customers keep dialing the number they already have. What's possible depends on your carrier and phone system, which we confirm before anything goes live.

Compatible tools can be connected so a call produces a booking or a record instead of a note. Which integrations apply to your stack is verified during the consultation — it isn't included by default in every configuration.

When a storm or an area outage pushes volume past what your office can pick up, callers still reach a first response instead of stacking into voicemail. Actual concurrent capacity depends on your phone setup, which we review before launch.

We gather your approved service list, service area, hours, estimate and inspection policies, safety language, and common questions, then build call flows around how you want each call type treated. Realistic electrical scenarios are tested before launch and refined afterward.

Luxive Core is $497 per month plus a $1,000 one-time Custom Setup & Launch. Luxive Pro is $997 per month plus a $2,000 setup. Direct AI call usage is billed separately at our underlying cost with no Luxive markup. Full details are on the pricing page.
