What does the AI say about dangerous electrical situations?

Only the safety wording you approve. A typical safety script tells callers to leave the area and contact emergency services (911 in the US) or the utility for downed lines, fire or burning smells, then flags the call and alerts your team right away.

Can it qualify EV-charger jobs?

Yes. It asks about the vehicle, panel amperage, garage location and distance to the panel, then books a site visit or saves the details for your estimator.

Can it handle commercial service requests?

Yes. It captures the business name, site contact, access instructions and urgency, and alerts your team so the right person follows up.

Will it give prices for panel upgrades?

Only the price ranges you choose to publish. Otherwise it books an estimate.

Does it work with my existing phone number?

Yes. Forward your number to Frontivo.io or get a new local number.

Can it transfer calls to different electricians?

Frontivo.io transfers to one team number on every phone plan, such as your on-call line. For everything else it takes a detailed message noting who the caller wants and the type of job, and alerts you right away.

How long does setup take?

Website chat can be live in about 15 minutes for most businesses. For calls, forward your existing line, or get a new number (in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and a few other countries it is connected in seconds; most other countries, including the UK, Australia, Germany and the Philippines, need business documents first, which takes 1-3 business days; in some countries you confirm a monthly local-number fee on the card first; and where no local number is offered you get a US (+1) number in seconds).

Does it connect to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber?

Not natively today. On Growth ($549/month) you can send new leads and bookings to them through their Zapier apps: Jobber's app can create a client, request or job, ServiceTitan's (still in open beta) can book a job, and Housecall Pro's can create a customer only. On every plan you get a Google Sheets row and a Slack or Teams alert for each lead, and bookings go into Google or Outlook Calendar. See integrations.

Does it text back missed calls?

Yes. If someone calling your electrical contractor hangs up or the call can't be answered, they get a text right away. Missed-call text-back comes with Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth. On Starter and Growth the AI carries on the conversation by text; on Phone Only and Phone Lite, a reply to that text comes to you as an alert so you can answer from your own phone. Texting switches on after carrier approval for your number (every US business number needs it); outside the US and Canada texts use more of your allowance, so website chat, Instagram and Messenger usually cost less there.

Does Frontivo.io work for electricians outside the US?

Yes. Frontivo.io serves electricians in almost every country (the few we don't serve are listed on the countries page). Website chat and email work everywhere; for calls and texts you get a local number in 40+ countries (some with a monthly local-number fee shown before setup) or a US number in any other country we serve. WhatsApp is coming soon. The country-by-country table is at countries.

Answered in seconds

I just bought an electric car and need a charger installed in my garage.

Congratulations! A few quick questions so we can quote accurately. Do you know your main panel's amperage — 100, 150 or 200 amps?

I think it's 200.

Great. Is the garage attached, and roughly how far is the panel from where you want the charger?

Why electricians lose high-value jobs to voicemail

Electrical work mixes true emergencies with some of the highest-value leads in home services: panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators and remodels. Your electricians are on ladders and in attics, so calls go to voicemail — and homeowners comparing quotes may simply call the next contractor. A fast, knowledgeable answer is often what wins the estimate.

How does Frontivo.io qualify an EV-charger installation?

Prices and names are examples — Frontivo.io only quotes the prices and details you give it.

Thanks. Do you already have the charger, or would you like us to supply one?
Caller
I have it.
AI receptionist
Perfect. Our installation estimates are free. I can book an electrician for a site visit Thursday at 10:00 AM Central or Friday at 2:00 PM Central. Which works?
Caller
Thursday.
AI receptionist
Great. What name and email should I put the booking under?
Caller
Alex Romero, alex.romero@example.com.
AI receptionist
You're booked for Thursday at 10:00 AM Central. I've sent you a confirmation — if you can, note the panel's brand and amperage for the electrician.

How do you set up an AI receptionist for an electrical business?

1
Tell Frontivo.io about your electrical contractor: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.
2
Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.
3
Forward your business line (or get a new Frontivo.io number: in seconds in the US and Canada, after a documents check in most other countries) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.

Frontivo.io's Phone Only plan is $199/month with 300 AI voice minutes (about 100 calls), live call transfer and missed-call text-back.
