Half your calls are somebody asking what it would cost
Estimates, permits and panel questions eat the day, and most of them arrive while you have a panel open.
The quote calls are the ones that turn into work
A panel upgrade, a basement rewire, a charger in the garage. Every one of those starts with somebody ringing to ask roughly what it costs, and every one of them rings three electricians. Whoever answers gets the estimate.
That is the call you cannot take. You are up a ladder with a panel open and the power off, and it is not a call you could take one-handed anyway. So it goes to voicemail, and by the evening somebody else has already been out and quoted.
Built around how electrical calls actually arrive
Qualifies a quote call before you drive out
What the panel is rated at, how old the house is, how far the run has to go, whether it is a rental. It asks the questions that decide whether a job is worth a truck roll, and the answers are in front of you before you commit an afternoon to it.
Handles permit and inspection questions
Whether the work needs a permit, who pulls it, and what an inspection does to their timeline. It gives the same answer every time, which is more than most offices manage on a busy Friday.
Books estimates around your crew
It reads the calendar you already use and books into the openings that are really there, so an estimate lands in a gap rather than on top of a rough-in you already committed to.
Quotes what has a number and refuses to guess at what does not
Your service call rate, standard fixture and device swaps, anything you price flat. A rewire has to be seen, and it says so rather than inventing a figure you would have to walk back once you are standing in the basement.
A charger quote, mid-afternoon
- Caller
- I am after a price for putting a car charger in the garage.
- MolovoAI
- Happy to help. Do you know what your panel is rated at? There is usually a number on the main breaker, 100 or 200.
- Caller
- It says 100.
- MolovoAI
- Thank you. And roughly how far is the garage from the panel?
- Caller
- It is detached, so maybe twenty metres.
- MolovoAI
- That helps. A detached run on a 100 amp panel usually needs a load calculation before anyone can price it honestly, so let me book an electrician to come and look. Thursday afternoon or Friday morning?
Panel rating, distance and a detached garage, all captured before anyone drove anywhere. The estimate is booked and you know what you are walking into.
Most electrical contractors start on the 400 minute plan
Quote calls and estimate bookings are the bulk of it, and 400 minutes covers around four calls a day with your calendar connected. Move up to 900 when you want it moving bookings by voice and putting urgent calls through to you.
Compare every planWhat electricians ask
Can it price a panel upgrade over the phone?
It will not invent a number. It takes the panel rating, the age of the house and what they are adding, then books an electrician to look. A price that has to be walked back once you are standing in the basement costs you more than the call was worth.
Will it answer permit and inspection questions?
The ones you give it. Whether a job needs a permit, who pulls it, and what an inspection does to their timeline. It gives the same answer at 8am and at 4:55pm.
Can it stop me driving out to jobs that are not worth it?
That is most of what it does on a quote call. It asks the qualifying questions before anything is booked, so a twenty metre run to a detached garage on a 100 amp panel is on your screen before you commit an afternoon to it.
Does it book around my crew?
It reads your real calendar and books into the openings that are actually there, so an estimate does not land on top of a rough-in.
