The problem
A tripped breaker during an ice storm is not going to wait until morning
When you're pulling wire through a wall or wrist-deep in a breaker panel, you can't stop to answer the phone. But the homeowner sitting in a cold, dark house after a storm is already trying the next electrician. They're not leaving a voicemail when the furnace won't start and the pipes could freeze.
- 85% of callers reporting an electrical problem won't leave a voicemail
- Emergency electrical calls go to the first licensed electrician who picks up
- That costs the average electrician 3-5 jobs per week
- A full-time receptionist to field those calls? C$1,500+/month

How Electricians Use Jodie
Emergency Callout
The situation: Power comes back after an ice storm but a homeowner's panel is buzzing and half their circuits won't reset. They need someone now.
Jodie handles it: Jodie gets the address, asks if there is a burning smell or water near the panel, and checks whether the whole house is out or just one circuit. You get a text with everything you need to decide whether to head out.
Mid-Job Inquiry
The situation: You're roughing in wiring for a new build when your phone buzzes with a call about an EV charger installation.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the call, finds out they need a Level 2 charger in their garage, gets their name, number, and address, and tells them you'll follow up with an estimate. The lead is in your inbox before you break for lunch.
Estimate Request
The situation: A homeowner finds you on HomeStars and calls about replacing knob-and-tube wiring in their 1940s home.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the house, how many rooms still have old wiring, and whether they need a panel upgrade too. You get the details by text so you can work up a price without a callback for the basics.
After-Hours Availability
The situation: A property manager needs an electrical permit pulled for a commercial renovation and calls after 6pm.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the property address and manager details, and asks about the scope of work and timeline. The message is ready for you first thing in the morning.
That panel upgrade inquiry just went to your voicemail. And then to another electrician.
Set up Jodie in under 2 minutes. No contracts, no tech skills, no missed electrical jobs.
