The problem

A power fault at 9pm is not going to wait until morning

When you're up a ladder pulling cables or wrist-deep in a switchboard, you can't stop to answer the phone. But the homeowner sitting in the dark is already trying the next sparky in Google. They're not leaving a voicemail when the hot water is off and the heat pump has stopped.

  • 85% of callers reporting an electrical fault won't leave a voicemail
  • Emergency electrical callouts go to the first sparky who picks up
  • That costs the average electrician 3-5 jobs per week
  • A full-time receptionist to field those calls? NZ$1,500+/month

How Electricians Use Jodie

Emergency power outage call being handled by AI answering service

Emergency Callout

The situation: A homeowner's power goes out at 10pm. The heat pump is dead and the house is getting cold. They need a sparky now.

Jodie handles it: Jodie gets the address, asks if there is a burning smell or exposed wiring, 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 Enquiry

The situation: You're wiring a new build when your phone rings with a call about getting a heat pump installed.

Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the call, finds out what type of heat pump they're looking at, gets their name, number, and address, and tells them you'll be in touch with a quote. The enquiry is in your inbox before smoko.

Quote Request

The situation: Someone finds you on Builderscrack and calls about an electrical warrant of fitness for a rental.

Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the property, how many rooms need checking, and when the tenant can provide access. You get the details by text so you can work up a quote without a callback for the basics.

After-hours electrical call being answered by AI phone service

After-Hours Availability

The situation: A landlord needs an electrical warrant of fitness for a rental and calls after 6pm.

Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the property address and landlord details, and asks whether it is a new inspection or a renewal. The message is ready for you first thing.
