AI for Electrical

AI & automation for electrical contractors operators.

Electrical contractors balance residential service calls with commercial project work, and the back-office challenge is keeping both lanes coherent. The shops growing fastest are the ones that can hand off service-call dispatch on autopilot while keeping the bigger commercial bids moving forward. Our work in this space is usually about untangling the two — letting routine residential work flow without owner attention so the owner can focus on the project-bid side.

Who this is for

The electrical operators we work with

  • Independent electrical shops with both service and project work
  • Operators running 3-15 vans across a metro service area
  • Contractors bidding small/mid commercial alongside residential service
  • Shops where the owner is still the lead estimator
Where you're losing money

The four highest-cost workflows in electrical

Service-call dispatch eats the owner's day even when they have a dispatcher
Cost: Owner spends 10-15 hours/week on dispatch decisions that could be policy-driven
Commercial bids slip because the owner is interrupted by service-side issues
Cost: Missing bid deadlines = losing $50-500K projects to competitors who bid on time
Material costing varies by project but pricing isn't updated systematically
Cost: Margin slippage of 3-8% across the project portfolio when material prices move and estimates don't
Permit and inspection scheduling done manually by the office
Cost: 1-3 days of slippage per project on average — paid days for crews waiting on green-tag
What we'd build for you

Three surgical tools that ship in weeks, not months

Build 1

Service-side autopilot

Routine service calls (panel adds, outlet installs, small repairs) flow through structured intake → auto-quote from price book → customer self-schedule. Owner only touches edge cases.

Time
3-4 weeks
Price
$3,000-$7,000
Build 2

Bid pipeline tracker

Commercial bids tracked from RFQ → estimate → submission → award/loss with reminders for follow-up calls. Stops bids from rotting in the inbox while the owner is on a service call.

Time
2-3 weeks
Price
$2,000-$4,500
Build 3

Material cost sync

Pull supplier price updates into your estimating tool weekly. Estimates use current pricing automatically; margins stop slipping silently.

Time
3-4 weeks
Price
$2,500-$6,000
Stack we typically build around

We integrate — we don't replace

  • ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber
  • Knowify or BuilderTrend (commercial project side)
  • QuickBooks Online or Desktop
  • Estimating software (often industry-specific or Excel)
  • Twilio / VoIP phone systems
Frequently asked

Common questions from electrical owners

Do you work with both residential and commercial electrical?
Yes. Most operators we work with run both — the value of our work is separating them operationally so the bigger commercial work doesn't get strangled by residential service noise.
Can you integrate with my estimating software?
Depends on the software. The major commercial estimators (Accubid, McCormick, etc.) have data export paths. Even when there's no API we can build around scheduled exports and CSV ingestion.
How do you handle permit and inspection scheduling?
Local jurisdictions vary too much for a universal solution. We build per-municipality where it makes sense — typically a queue tracker + reminder system rather than direct integration with the city.
Will this work for a 3-person shop?
Yes — at that size, the highest-leverage build is usually the service-side autopilot since the owner is wearing the dispatcher hat. Scope adjusts accordingly.
