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?
What can an AI receptionist do for an electrical contractor?
Safety-first triage
For sparks, burning smells, hot outlets or downed lines, Frontivo gives safe first steps from your script (for example: leave the area and call 911 or the utility for downed lines) and escalates to your on-call electrician.
Partial outages and breaker trips
Walks callers through checking the breaker panel using steps you approve, and books a visit if the problem remains.
EV-charger leads
Asks vehicle type, panel size or age, garage location and distance from the panel, then books a site visit or sends the quote request to your estimator.
Panel upgrades and generators
Qualifies panel age, amperage, home size and fuel type, and books an estimate.
Remodel and new-construction inquiries
Captures scope, timeline and permit questions, and routes builders and general contractors to the right person.
Commercial customers
Takes service requests from property managers and businesses with site contact and access details.
After-hours coverage
Answers nights and weekends and books the next available slot for non-urgent work.
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 simply call the next contractor. A fast, knowledgeable answer is often what wins the estimate.

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.
Frontivo AI
You're booked for Thursday at 10:00 AM Central. I've texted a confirmation — if you can, have a photo of your panel ready for the electrician.
