Every Text About an Electrical Job Gets a Professional Reply. Automatically.
Customers text you about dead sockets, tripping breakers, and rewire quotes while you're pulling cables through conduit. AI SMS sends an instant professional response and captures the lead — so you never miss work because you were too busy doing it.
It's midday on a Thursday. You're halfway through a first-fix on a new-build extension in Nottingham — running cables through the stud walls before the plasterers arrive tomorrow. Your phone buzzes in your tool belt. A text from a homeowner in West Bridgford: 'Got a socket in the kitchen that's started making a crackling noise when anything's plugged in. Also want to add two more doubles in the living room. Are you available this week?' You can't stop — the plasterers won't wait. Without AI SMS, that text sits unread until you pack up at 5pm. By then she's had a reply from another sparks and booked a site visit for Friday. With Rapid Receptionist, the AI responds in seconds: 'Thanks for getting in touch with Mitchell Electrical. We've noted the crackling socket and the additional sockets for the living room. We'll be in contact to arrange an inspection. Thanks for choosing us.' You call at 5:15pm and she's still available. The crackling socket turns out to be a loose connection — quick fix. The double sockets are a £300 add-on. Total: £380 in work that would've gone to your competitor.
Why Electricians Need AI SMS
Catches Directory Leads Instantly
Customers browsing Yell, Checkatrade, or Google on their phone often text instead of call. They copy the number and send a quick text. The AI responds within seconds, capturing the lead before they text another electrician from the same search results page.
Electrical Emergency Detection
A text saying 'all power out in the house' gets emergency treatment from the AI. It detects the urgency, sends an immediate response, and flags the lead with a priority alert. You can decide whether to respond immediately or schedule a visit.
Domestic Rewire Enquiries
Homeowners buying older properties often text about full rewires. These are high-value jobs — typically £3,000-£8,000. The AI captures the property details and forwards them to you. Respond quickly and you're in the running for the biggest residential electrical jobs.
Smart Home & Lighting Queries
Customers increasingly text about smart home installations — automated lighting, smart switches, and whole-house systems. The AI understands these modern electrical services and captures specific requirements so you know exactly what they need.
No Distraction During Live Work
You cannot and should not stop to read a text while you're working on a live circuit. AI SMS handles the response so you can maintain concentration and safety. The lead gets captured, the customer gets acknowledged, and you stay focused on the job.
Structured Lead Information
Instead of a text that says 'need sparks asap,' you get a structured notification: customer name, location, nature of work (emergency/routine), contact details, and urgency assessment. Everything you need to decide whether to call back now or later.
AI SMS for electricians is £19/month as an add-on or standalone. Unlimited texts, no per-message charges. £299 setup. No contracts. See full pricing →
Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI SMS work for electrical enquiries?
When someone texts your number about an electrical job, the AI reads the message, identifies the type of work — socket fault, rewire, EV charger, consumer unit, lighting — and sends one professional reply. It captures the customer's details and job requirements, then sends you a structured lead notification. The reply references their specific enquiry rather than sending a generic auto-reply.
Can the AI detect electrical emergencies from a text message?
Yes. The AI recognises emergency indicators in electrical messages — total power loss, sparking, burning smells, exposed wiring, water near electrical installations. These are flagged with priority alerts in your notification. The AI's response also suggests basic safety precautions where appropriate, such as not touching exposed wiring.
I specialise in commercial electrical work. Will this handle business-to-business texts?
Absolutely. Facility managers, office managers, and commercial landlords often text about lighting upgrades, emergency power issues, and PAT testing schedules. The AI handles these enquiries with appropriate professionalism and captures site addresses, contact persons, and the nature of the work.
Most of my leads come from Google — will this catch text enquiries from search?
A significant percentage of mobile search users copy the phone number and text rather than call. AI SMS catches every one of these leads instantly. Since these customers are actively searching for an electrician, they're high-intent leads — fast response times dramatically increase conversion.
Is it safe to use while I'm working on circuits?
That's exactly the point — you don't touch your phone at all. The AI handles everything automatically. You maintain full concentration on your work and review leads during breaks. Your safety on site is never compromised because you don't need to interact with your phone.
How much does AI SMS cost for electricians?
AI SMS is £19/month as an add-on to the Core plan or standalone. No per-text charges, unlimited inbound texts. The £299 one-time setup fee covers full configuration. No contracts, cancel anytime, 30-day money-back guarantee.
