AI receptionist at spareday
Answer calls you cannot take on the job.
An AI receptionist for electricians answers the business number in your name, finds out what the job is and where, and books it or passes the details to you.
Electrical work often means you cannot stop to answer. spareday sets up an answering service that takes those calls in your business name, with your safety rules applied first and anything urgent passed straight to you.
What it handles
Ordinary calls, answered in your business name.
Most calls are about booking a call-out, your hours and areas, or the details needed for a quote.
- Call-out bookings
- Offers times from your real calendar, or none at all.
- Hours, areas and services
- Explains the work you do and the areas you cover, so it only books jobs you take on.
- Details for a quote
- Takes the job details properly so your callback is useful.
- Your existing number
- It answers in your business name, on the number customers already have.
Clear limits
Anything that sounds dangerous goes to a person.
A caller describing a burning smell, sparking, smoke or a hot power point is handled by your safety rules. It gives plain safety advice: turn the power off at the switchboard only if it is safe to do so, and call 000 if there is smoke, fire or someone has had an electric shock. Then the call goes straight to a real person. The licensed electrician writes and signs off the list of what counts, and that list takes priority over everything else.
- Safety first, never a booking
- Burning smells, sparking, smoke, or a hot or discoloured power point or switch.
- Urgent loss of power
- Including a property with medical equipment, passed to a person immediately.
- No prices on unseen work
- It can explain how you price. It does not put a figure on a job nobody has seen.
How it works
Agree what it can say, then switch it on.
It is set up around your business: the work you do, the areas you cover and how you want messages passed on.
- Look at your missed calls
- How many calls go unanswered and when, which decides whether this is worth doing.
- Write and approve what it says
- You approve its wording, what it can book and where each type of call goes.
- Connect it to your number and calendar
- It works on your existing number. We check what your calendar or job app allows before quoting.
- Test it, then switch it on
- Test calls run through the awkward cases before it goes live.
Before you decide
Owned by your business.
You own what we build. It runs on accounts in your business's name, on your existing number, and keeps working if you stop working with us. Ongoing support is agreed in the scope.
A simpler option is missed-call text back, which replies in writing to any call you miss and does nothing else. For many small businesses it is enough.
The same service for other trades is on the AI receptionist for plumbers and AI receptionist for tradies pages. For nights and weekends, see the after-hours phone answering service, for your listing, local SEO for electricians, and for the rest of the enquiry path, missed-call text back for electricians and Google reviews for electricians.

A few practical details
Before we get started.
What happens if a caller describes a hazard?
It tells the caller to turn the power off at the switchboard only if it is safe to do so, and to call 000 if there is smoke, fire or an electric shock, then passes the call straight to a person. It never offers a booking for a hazard. The licensed electrician writes and approves that list.
Will it quote a job?
No. It can explain how you price, but it never puts a figure on unseen work.
Can it book jobs into my calendar?
Yes, where it can see your real availability. Otherwise it takes the details and passes them to you.
Does it work on my current number?
Yes. It answers on the number customers already use, and the account is in your name.
