Your Best-Paid Work Goes to Voicemail
Emergency electrical work bills about twice the standard rate — and every 9 PM ring-out hands it to whoever answered.
Emergency vs. standard rate · Angi, Dallas
Built for DFW Electrical Contractors
Half the house is dark at 9 PM.
They’re calling every electrician until one picks up.
The first electrician who picks up gets the job — and in Dallas, the emergency version of that job bills at about twice your standard rate (Angi).
JobStorm AI is a 24/7 answering service for electrical contractors in Dallas–Fort Worth. It answers every call, flags the safety emergencies, books the service call on your calendar, and texts your office a summary before the caller hangs up. $799 per month flat, no per-minute charges — less than a part-time front desk hire.

How Ava Works
An AI receptionist for electricians. Answers. Triages. Books. Texts you before hangup.
01
Answers on the first ring, 24/7
No hold music, no phone tree — your company name on the first ring.
02
Asks the safety question first
Before anything else: “Is there any burning smell, smoke, or sparking?” Then address, callback number, what's out.
03
Escalates real danger correctly
Burning smell, smoke, sparks, a downed line → get everyone out, call 911 — and your on-call phone lights up the same second. It does not book an appointment and move on.
04
Sorts the urgent from the scheduled
No power, a main that won't reset, a hot outlet → your on-call tech, flagged urgent. Panel upgrade, EV charger, generator, remodel rough-in → booked as an estimate. Residential or commercial, asked up front and routed the way you price it.
05
Texts you before the call ends
Urgency, address, contact, and what they actually said — emergencies flagged on top.

The Leads You Never Called Back Foreman
The web lead who filled out your form at 8 PM is calling two other electricians by 8:10.
Ava calls a new web lead back within minutes, while they’re still on your site — and makes one next-day call to the “let me ask my spouse” caller to book the appointment. It never quotes a price.

You don't pay a monthly cent until your agent captures its first 5 qualified leads. No leads, no bill.
A qualified lead is mechanical, not a judgment call: (a) caller inside your service area, (b) asked for an appointment, estimate, or visit — it's in the transcript, (c) name and callback number captured. You see the same call log we do, in real time. Flag any lead within 7 days; unflagged leads stand.
Your agent doesn't answer a single real call until you sign off. You'll hear it, test it, and hand it to three people you trust first.
The only way this costs you money is if it's already making you money.
Straight Answers · No Pitch
You’re thinking it. Here’s the answer.
What happens when someone calls about a burning smell or a sparking panel?
The agent tells them to get everyone out of the house and call 911 first, then flags the call to your on-call number the same second. It does not book an appointment and move on. You decide during implementation exactly which situations get that response, and you hear the agent handle them before it ever takes a live call.
Can it tell a residential call from a commercial one?
Yes. It asks up front, captures the site type and the right contact, and routes the call the way you price it. A property manager and a homeowner don’t get the same script.
We’re not seasonal like HVAC. Is there enough here to pay for it?
Crew is $799 a month and covers every hour your office doesn’t, for less than a part-time front desk hire. At the Dallas job values above, about nine recovered jobs a year covers it. If you miss more than one call a month after 5 PM, run the calculator; it will tell you either way.
Will it quote prices?
It says exactly what you tell it to say and nothing else. If you want it to give your service-call fee, it will; if you don’t, it won’t. Quote Rescue callbacks never quote a price.
Does it work with the software I already run?
We connect to any CRM with an API. The one catch is that some only turn the API on at higher plan levels. Tell Rick which system you run and we’ll confirm before you sign anything.
How long does implementation take?
Two to four weeks. The call flow is built by hand around your services, your service area, your hours, and your emergency rules, then tested against real call scenarios. You hear it and approve it before it takes a single live call.
