Electrician answering service
You can't answer the phone with your hands in a panel. The call goes to voicemail, and most callers don't leave one. They dial the next electrician on Google, and by the time you call back three hours later the job is gone. That is the whole job of an electrician answering service. EveryDial answers in your business name, asks the right questions, books the job, and sends you the details.

What your receptionist does for you
Answers while your hands are full
You can't stop mid-circuit to pick up. Your receptionist answers every call, so a full day of work stops costing you a day of jobs.
Books the job, doesn't just take a message
It asks the right questions for an electrical call, what's not working and whether any part of the house is dead, offers times inside your working hours, and books the job. The caller gets a booked time, not a callback to wait for.
Real emergencies reach your phone
You decide what counts as urgent. A burning smell or a dead panel can ring your cell right away. A quote for recessed lights gets booked for later and sent to you.
Your minutes are included, not metered
Most answering services bill by the minute and won't publish the rate. EveryDial is $49 a month with 100 receptionist minutes, or $149 with 400. You can see the price before you talk to anyone.
Common questions
- How much does an electrician answering service cost?
- Most of them won't tell you on the page. The ones that publish a starting price show $29 to $115 a month without saying what that buys, and traditional services bill $1.50 to $3 a minute on top. EveryDial is $49 a month with 100 receptionist minutes included, or $149 a month with 400. Minutes past your plan bill at $0.49 on Starter and $0.37 on Pro, so a busy month costs more but never runs away from you.
- Is an answering service worth it for an electrician?
- If you miss calls, yes. Electricians on Reddit describe the same thing over and over: you can't answer from a ladder, and by the time you call back the caller has already booked someone else. One panel upgrade or service call usually covers the month. The honest test is how many calls you miss in a week, not what the service costs.
- How do I choose an answering service?
- Shop on two things almost nobody puts on their page. First, does it book the job or only take a message that you still have to act on. Second, is the bill flat with included minutes or metered by the minute, because a busy week is exactly when a per-minute bill grows. Ask both questions before you look at anything else.
- Does it actually book the job, or just take a message?
- It books the job. Your receptionist asks the right electrical questions, offers times inside your working hours, books the job, and confirms the time with the caller before hanging up. Booked jobs land in your inbox straight after the call. Syncing to Jobber and other field software is on the roadmap, so until then you get the booking and the details, not a message to chase.
- Will it handle after-hours and emergency calls?
- Yes. Your receptionist answers 24/7, so a dead panel at 11 PM gets a real answer instead of voicemail. You decide what counts as an emergency. A burning smell or a whole house with no power can ring your cell right away, while a routine quote gets booked for the morning and sent to you.
