Buyer problems

What usually breaks for electrical contractors

Safety concerns need careful routing

Burning smells, sparking outlets, tripped breakers, and partial outages require clear escalation rules.

Projects vary widely

A generator quote, EV charger, panel upgrade, fixture install, and emergency repair all need different questions.

Trust matters before price

Homeowners are cautious with electrical work. Reviews, response speed, and a professional intake process matter before a quote is even sent.

Where AI helps

The automation angle that actually makes sense

For electrical contractors, start with safe routing, job-type intake, and missed-call recovery. The AI should collect facts and escalate risk, not diagnose electrical problems.
