Does a virtual receptionist answer every electrical call or just missed ones?

Only missed ones. JobLock rings your phone first — if you pick up, it's a completely normal call. The AI receptionist only activates when the call goes unanswered. You stay available to your customers when you're free, and the AI handles the overflow.

Can the AI receptionist handle electrical emergency calls?

Yes. The AI captures urgency context when the caller offers it and includes it in the owner SMS. You decide what to prioritize or escalate; JobLock does not dispatch emergency work.

How much does an AI receptionist for electricians cost?

Plans start at $79/month with a 2-week free trial and no credit card required. One recovered electrical service call — a panel issue, rewire, or troubleshooting job — covers the cost for months.

The Problem

Electricians can't answer the phone on the job — and miss the leads

You're in a panel, running conduit, or troubleshooting a circuit. The phone rings and you physically cannot answer. JobLock provides a ring-first AI recovery path without claiming to replace every human answering-service model.

Human receptionist = $2,000+/mo

A part-time or full-time receptionist costs far more than the leads they capture. Most solo electrical contractors can't justify the overhead — and shouldn't have to.

Voicemail depends on a message

A caller who does not leave enough detail gives the owner little to act on. Catch requires the name, callback number, and service need.

Electrical emergencies don't wait

Sparking outlets, burning smell, no power — these callers will hire the first electrician who responds. After-hours electrical emergencies are some of the highest-value jobs, and they're going unanswered.

The Solution

AI that answers for you — at 1/25th the cost of a receptionist

JobLock rings your phone first. If you pick up, nothing changes. If you miss it, the AI answers as your electrical business, has a natural intake conversation, and texts you the required lead details after the call.

You get back to the truck, check your phone, and the job is already documented — caller name, contact number, what happened, address, and whether it's an emergency. You call back knowing everything. You close more jobs.

Questions from electricians

Does it answer every call or just missed ones? +

Only missed ones. JobLock rings your phone first — if you pick up, it's a completely normal call. The AI only activates when the call goes unanswered. You stay in direct contact with customers when you're free, and the AI catches what slips through.

What's the difference between this and an electrical answering service? +

Human answering services and AI services use different staffing, scripts, routing, and pricing models. JobLock rings the owner first, uses AI on a miss, and sends the required lead details to the owner. Verify any alternative's current terms directly.

Can it handle electrical emergency calls? +

Yes. The AI captures urgency context when the caller offers it and includes it in your owner SMS. You decide what to prioritize or escalate; JobLock does not dispatch emergency work.

What does the AI say when it answers? +

It answers as the business, requires name, callback number, and service need, and adds address or urgency when offered. It does not promise a callback time or booking.

Do I need a separate phone number for JobLock? +

You'll use a dedicated JobLock number on your website, Google profile, ads, and listings. It rings your cell first — miss it and the AI receptionist can collect the required lead details and send them to the owner. Most owners make it their main business line.
