Virtual receptionist for electricians in Australia

Answer every enquiry. Win every job.

Voxotec builds a virtual receptionist for electrical contractors that answers every call around the clock, asks the right safety questions, grades urgency, and books the job into your existing system. Built for Australian tradies who cannot answer the phone with both hands in a switchboard.

The challenge

What holds Electrical businesses back

On-site means unreachable

You are in a switchboard, up a ladder, or mid-installation. The phone rings and you cannot answer. A competitor who has AI answering wins the job. You never knew it existed.

Compliance enquiries eat your time

Customers asking about RCDs, smoke alarm testing, CCTV, solar, EV chargers. An AI chatbot handles these FAQs, filters time-wasters, and surfaces the genuine, high-value leads.

Inconsistent follow-up loses revenue

Electricians quote fast but follow up slowly. Automated sequences fix this, every quote gets chased at the right time, every time, without you doing anything.

The opportunity

Why Electrical businesses are investing in AI now

Electrical contracting in Australia is intensely competitive. Customers searching for an electrician online have three or four options in front of them and no strong loyalty to any of them. The business that responds first, sounds most professional, and makes booking easiest wins the job. AI gives smaller electrical businesses the response speed and 24/7 availability that was previously only achievable with a dedicated reception team.

The opportunity extends well beyond inbound calls. Electrical businesses are sitting on recurring revenue they are not capturing, customers who had a switchboard inspection two years ago and are due for a check-up, solar customers who need servicing, properties that need smoke alarm compliance tests. Automated reminder campaigns recover this revenue passively, without adding any work to your team. Voxotec builds all of this in 2-4 weeks, integrated with the job management software you already use.

FAQ

Common questions about AI for Electrical businesses

Can AI answer calls for my electrical business?

Yes. Our voice bots answer in under one second, 24/7, and handle job capture, urgency triage, and booking in natural conversation. They hand off to a human when the job is too complex to handle automatically.

Will it integrate with Simpro or Aroflo?

Yes. We integrate with all major electrical trade management platforms including Simpro, Aroflo, ServiceM8, and Tradify. Jobs booked by the AI appear in your system automatically.

Do you work with electricians outside Brisbane and the Gold Coast?

Yes. Voxotec is based on the Gold Coast and works with electrical contractors across Brisbane, Queensland, and all of Australia. Everything is configured, integrated, and supported remotely, so your location is never a barrier.

Can it handle solar and EV charger enquiries?

Yes. We build customised chatbots that walk customers through a qualification process for high-value installs, collect the information you need for a site assessment, and schedule an appointment directly in your calendar.

What happens if the AI cannot handle a call?

The voice bot escalates to a human immediately, transferring full context so the customer never repeats themselves. You define the escalation triggers.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. We forward your existing number to the AI system. No disruption to your marketing materials or existing customers.

Can I set it to only answer after hours?

Yes. After-hours only, overflow during busy periods, or always-on, completely configurable and adjustable at any time.

How long does setup take?

Most electrical businesses are live in 2-4 weeks. We handle configuration, integrations, testing, and onboarding end to end.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on call volume and which automations you need. Book a free consultation and we will give you a fixed-price proposal with no surprises.
