Never Miss an Electrical Enquiry Again. Your AI Answers Every Call.
Whether you're pulling cable through a ceiling void or isolating a faulty circuit, your AI receptionist handles the phone — with proper electrical knowledge, not a script.
Here to help See It In Action
Here's how Speed Receptionist handles a real enquiry from start to finish.
A landlord in Sheffield rings about EICR certificates for four rental properties. The current certificates are expiring next month and their letting agent is chasing. Your AI answers in your business name, asks for the property addresses, number of circuits in each, and any known issues from previous inspections.
Four EICRs captured in one call — addresses, access arrangements with tenants, and the deadline. The AI has also noted that one property had a C2 on the previous certificate for lack of RCD protection. That's a potential consumer unit upgrade on top of the testing.
You see the full lead on your phone while you're loading the van. Four EICRs plus a possible CU upgrade — easily a £1,200+ job. You call the landlord back before 9am and book the lot.
A school administrator in Preston reports a burning smell coming from a socket in a Year 3 classroom. The AI recognises this as an electrical emergency immediately — advises them to switch off the circuit at the consumer unit, evacuate the room, and not to use the socket under any circumstances. It escalates to your mobile within seconds.
Why UK Electricians Use AI Phone Answering
Answers While You're at the Board
You can't take a call when you're testing live circuits, wiring a consumer unit, or up a ladder fishing cable. Your AI handles every call with genuine electrical knowledge — Part P, 18th Edition, NICEIC — not generic waffle.
Knows an RCBO from an MCB
When a customer says "the trip switch keeps going," your AI asks which circuit, whether it's the RCD or an individual MCB, and whether it trips immediately or after a few minutes. That's the kind of detail that saves you a wasted visit.
Handles Domestic and Commercial
Whether the call is about a domestic rewire in a three-bed semi or a three-phase installation in a factory unit, the AI adjusts its questions. Domestic? It asks about property age and circuit count. Commercial? It asks about existing supply, load requirements, and access hours.
EICR Enquiries Captured Properly
EICRs are bread-and-butter work for electricians. The AI captures property type, number of circuits, last inspection date, any known issues, and the deadline — especially important for landlords with multiple properties.
Electrical Emergencies Handled Safely
Burning smells, sparking sockets, complete power failure, exposed wiring after storm damage — the AI gives immediate safety advice (isolate at the consumer unit, don't touch) and gets you on the phone.
References Your Accreditations
NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA, Part P — whatever your registration, the AI mentions it naturally when customers ask about qualifications. For EICRs and notifiable work, this builds instant trust.

You Focus on the Wiring in Front of You
While you are up a ladder pulling cables or testing circuits in a live board, every enquiry is captured. Emergency no-power calls escalated. EICR bookings, rewire quotes, and EV charger consultations queued for your review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AI understand the difference between domestic and commercial electrical work?
Yes. For domestic calls, it asks about property type, age, number of rooms, and existing installation. For commercial, it asks about supply type (single or three-phase), load requirements, building use, and working hours for access. It captures the right information for the type of work being discussed.
Can it handle Part P and Building Control questions?
The AI explains that notifiable electrical work requires Building Control notification and that as a registered electrician, you can self-certify under Part P. It doesn't give detailed technical advice — that's your expertise — but it provides enough general information to reassure customers and capture the enquiry.
What if someone calls about a complete power cut?
The AI first checks whether it's just their property or the whole street (to rule out a supply issue). If it's isolated to their home, it advises checking the consumer unit for tripped switches and captures the details. If there's any sign of burning, smell, or damage, it treats it as an emergency with immediate escalation to your mobile.
I specialise in EICRs and testing — will the AI prioritise those enquiries?
We train the AI around your specialisms. If EICRs and testing are your core work, the AI asks detailed questions about those enquiries — property type, circuit count, previous certificate results, deadline — while handling other electrical enquiries at a general level.
Does it capture enough detail for me to quote accurately?
That's the goal. For a rewire, the AI captures property size, number of floors, current installation age, and customer requirements. For a consumer unit, it asks about the existing board type and number of circuits. The idea is that you can prepare a rough quote before even visiting the site.
How does it handle calls about electrical certificates for house sales?
Homebuyer electrical reports and pre-sale EICRs are captured with the property address, sale timeline, and any concerns flagged by the buyer's surveyor. The AI understands that these often have tight deadlines and notes the urgency.
Will the AI mention my NICEIC registration?
Yes. If you're NICEIC Approved Contractor or Domestic Installer registered, the AI references this when customers ask about qualifications or whether you can issue certificates. Same for NAPIT, ELECSA, or any other competent person scheme.
I work on my own — is 90 minutes of talk time enough?
For most sole-trader electricians, 90 minutes per month covers your call volume comfortably. The AI is efficient — it captures the details in a focused conversation without waffle. If you're running a larger operation with higher call volume, we'll let you know when you're approaching the limit.
What is the benefit of AI phone answering for my electrical business?
Electricians face a uniquely difficult phone problem: your work literally requires both hands and total concentration on potentially lethal circuits. You can't pause halfway through wiring a consumer unit to take a call, and you shouldn't. But every unanswered call is a customer who rings the next electrician — and with 78% of people hiring the first responder, that's a job gone permanently. AI phone answering eliminates this entirely. Your AI answers on the second ring in your business name, understands electrical terminology (EICR, Part P, RCD, MCB, three-phase), and knows the difference between a routine socket installation and a sparking fuse board that needs emergency escalation. It captures the full job specification — property type, number of circuits, certification requirements — so you can quote accurately from the lead notification alone. At £39 per month versus £25,000+ for a human receptionist, it's the single most cost-effective investment an electrician can make. One captured rewire enquiry at £3,000-£5,000 pays for over five years of the service.
What if my electrician business changes its prices or services?
Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've started offering EV charger installations, adjusted your EICR pricing, or changed your weekend availability, we'll update your ai phone answering within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any electrician business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your electrician business.
How does Speed Receptionist handle my customers' personal data?
Speed Receptionist processes customer call data solely for the purpose of capturing and delivering leads to your electrician business. Call recordings and transcripts are handled under strict UK GDPR compliance — callers are informed at the start of the call that it may be recorded for service and quality purposes. We operate as a data processor, meaning your business remains the data controller. All voice data and lead information is processed and stored within the United Kingdom, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained only for as long as needed to deliver the service. We never sell, share, or use your customers' voice data or personal details for marketing. You can request deletion of any recordings or data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days. Our full privacy policy details our complete data handling practices, retention periods, and your rights under UK data protection law.
