AI receptionist for electricians

Sparks, outages, and new panels shouldn't all wait for a callback.

Electrical calls carry real safety stakes, so the line between urgent and routine has to be drawn conservatively. Starkby routes anything that sounds like a safety issue to a person immediately, and handles everything else as a normal booking.

Safety-critical boundaries

This is the one trade where Starkby is deliberately cautious: if a caller describes anything resembling a live hazard, it stops qualifying and escalates rather than continuing the conversation.

Treated as urgent

  • Burning smell or visible sparks
  • Exposed or damaged wiring
  • Complete power loss
  • Any mention of shock or arcing

Booked normally

  • Panel upgrade or replacement
  • EV charger installation
  • Outlet or fixture installation
  • Code inspection or permit question

What it asks before booking

Service area

Starkby checks the caller's ZIP or city against your licensed service area, and says so plainly if a job falls outside it.

Booking

Panel upgrades, EV chargers, and inspections typically need longer appointment windows than a routine repair, so each job type can carry its own duration and lead time.

Dispatch & handoff

Anything flagged as a safety concern is transferred live or escalated to your on-call number immediately, no scripted troubleshooting over the phone.

Example call

FAQ

What happens if a caller describes something dangerous?

Starkby doesn't attempt to talk them through it. It tells them to stop using the affected circuit if appropriate, and gets the call to a person immediately.

Can it handle permit or inspection questions?

It can capture the details and hand off to your team, since permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and usually need a human answer.
