Half the house has no power and you are on a ladder.
A lead desk for electrical contractors. Every call you cannot take gets a text in a minute, the questions you would have asked, and an alert the moment someone is ready for a visit.
Missed call, texted back in a minute
You are on a ladder with the power off. The homeowner gets a text from your company instead of a voicemail beep.
It sorts the emergency from the estimate
Dead outlets today, a panel upgrade next month, a charger before the car arrives. The desk asks which one it is, so your callback is not a discovery call.
The estimates get chased
A service upgrade quote sits in an inbox for weeks. Four follow-ups over two weeks, and it stops the moment they reply.
Measured on a real contractor's line in New Jersey
August 2026, at a roofing company whose marketing we run. Our numbers, not a vendor's. The phone behaves the same in every trade. Only the size of the job changes.

never got a real conversation. The homeowners moved on.
Panel upgrades and EV chargers are planned jobs that start with an unplanned phone call, and the homeowner making it has three other electricians in the same search results.
How it works
- 1
We give you a local number. Two minutes, nothing to install.
- 2
You forward the calls you don't pick up to it. One carrier code on your phone, reversible any time.
- 3
You keep answering from your phone like always. Only what you miss reaches the desk.

What the desk never does
- Quote a price
- Promise an arrival time
- Talk about insurance claims
- Text anyone who didn't contact you first

It does not answer the phone with a voice. Plenty of tools do that for $30. This is the part they skip: the follow-up.
Questions electrical contractors ask
Why would I want it telling people to press a reset button?
Because the ones that fix themselves were never your job, and the ones that do not are now qualified before you drive out. A homeowner who was told the free thing first tends to trust the invoice for the rest.
Does it handle commercial calls too?
It answers the same way and flags anything that mentions a business, a landlord or a permit straight to you, because those are the calls where the person on the phone is not the decision maker.
Do I have to change my number?
No. You keep your number and your phone. You forward only unanswered calls to a local number we give you. Calls you pick up never touch us.
What do I see?
A text and a Telegram note when a homeowner replies with an address and a time. A short report every morning: calls missed, texted, replied, ready to call. Nothing else.
What happens after the free week?
You get the log. If it caught nothing, you owe nothing and you turn the forwarding off. If it did, it is $249 a month, month to month, cancel any time.
We already use an answering service.
Keep it. Run the free week beside it and compare the two logs. Ours does not stop at the first text, it follows up for ten days, and it has no contract.
