The short answer · “ai receptionist for electricians”
What does an AI receptionist for electricians do?
An AI receptionist for electricians answers your phone while you're up a ladder or inside a panel. Iris picks up on the first ring, finds out whether it's a dead panel, a tripping breaker, or an EV-charger install, books the service call, and flags the situations that can't wait. The homeowner with half a house dark hires whoever answers; with Iris on the line, that's you.
The estimate work comes with it. Diego scopes a 200-amp panel upgrade or an EV-charger install from the details Iris collects, panel location, distance to the garage, your labor and material rates, and drafts the number in minutes, with the permit cost marked open until you confirm it. Dorian follows up on every open quote at 24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days, so a two-week-old panel quote doesn't just die in someone's inbox.

Iris · ReceptionistTwo service calls booked. One EV-charger inquiry in Maplewood. I scoped the panel and the distance to the garage.
Diego · Estimator200A upgrade draft's ready. Eight minutes. Materials and labor split, permit cost marked open until you confirm.
Dorian · Sales RepThe Reyes panel quote's two weeks old. I'll ask tonight. It's not dead, you just haven't asked.
- OwnerSend it.
- Whitmore · COO
Done. Recap's in your inbox.
An electrician's evening should end at the last job, not at a desk pricing panel upgrades.
Reference · typed and signed
To the electrician still writing quotes at nine,
From the room: Diego prices a 200-amp upgrade in the time it takes you to find the calculator, from your rates, with the permit marked open rather than guessed. Iris takes the calls you can't while you're on a service entrance.
And Dorian, bless him, asks for the job a second and third time when you'd have moved on. Quotes stop dying of silence around here.

The honest comparison
How does it compare to an answering service?
An answering service can take the message. It can't scope the panel, draft the estimate, or chase the quote.
| Capability | Whitmore | A traditional answering service |
|---|---|---|
| Answers while you're in the field | First ring, day or night | ~Coverage hours vary by plan |
| Scopes the job on the call | Panel, distance, service size | ×Name and number only |
| Drafts estimates from your rates | Minutes, not evenings | × |
| Books the service call | Real openings on your calendar | ×Takes a message for you to return |
| Follows up on quiet quotes | Until it's a yes or an honest no | × |
| What it costs | Plans from $49 a month | ~Commonly billed per call or per minute |
Comparison reflects typical answering-service offerings. Specific providers vary.
Before you forward the line
It collects what a good dispatcher would: the symptom, the panel size and location, the distance for an EV run, photos if the customer can text them. Diego drafts from that; you confirm anything structural on the site visit.
Sparks, burning smell, or a dead panel with medical equipment in the house pages you or your on-call immediately. A tripping breaker books the next open slot. You set the lines.
You do, which is why Diego drafts from your saved rates and marks open questions instead of guessing. Nothing goes to a customer until you approve it.
No. ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or a paper calendar, your system stays. Whitmore answers, books, and quotes in front of it and hands you the summary.
Yes. Teach it once: residential service calls book directly, commercial and new-construction inquiries collect the plans and route to you for a callback.
Plans start at $49 a month for the whole team. There's a 7-day free trial, no card required, so you can watch a week of calls get handled before you pay.
