FAQ
Common questions from electricians
Can an AI receptionist book electrical callouts and inspections?
Yes. AnswR books power-out emergencies, switchboard work, safety inspections, and routine installations directly into your calendar. The AI captures property details, switchboard age, hazard reports, and access information so your sparky arrives with the context they need.
What happens to calls outside business hours?
AnswR answers calls 24 hours a day. Outside your configured business hours, the AI follows your policy — emergency transfers to your mobile, urgent message capture with SMS to the owner, or a polite callback promise that puts the customer at the top of your morning queue. You configure this once and it runs automatically.
Does AnswR recognise electrical emergencies?
Yes. AnswR detects keywords like no power, smoking switchboard, sparks, electrical fire, and burning smell, then triggers an immediate transfer to your mobile or an emergency SMS, depending on how you have configured urgency routing for your business.
Which electrical job software does AnswR integrate with?
AnswR integrates with ServiceM8, Simpro, Jobber, and Google Calendar. Jobs booked by the AI appear in your scheduling tool with customer details, address, and the type of electrical work required already structured as fields.
Will my customers know they are speaking to an AI?
Most customers do not notice. AnswR uses regionally accurate accents — Australian, New Zealand, or Irish — and natural conversational tone. You can configure the AI to disclose that it is automated if you prefer transparency; many operators choose this and find it does not affect booking rates.
Can the AI capture switchboard or compliance details?
Yes. The AI asks for switchboard age, number of circuits, safety switch status, and any visible damage, then summarises the report for you. It will also ask for a meter board photo if you want one sent through before the visit.
How much does an AI receptionist for small business cost?
AnswR plans start at $99 per month for 200 minutes of inbound calls. Pro at $199 covers 500 minutes plus 75 outbound appointment confirmations, suitable for businesses doing 3-5 jobs per day. Business at $399 covers 1,500 minutes and 200 confirmations for higher-volume operators. A 7-day free trial is available on every plan.
How long does AnswR take to set up?
Most businesses are live within 10-15 minutes. You connect a phone number, choose a voice that matches your region, plug in your CRM or calendar if you use one, and AnswR starts answering. There is no installation, no contracts, and the 7-day free trial requires no card details until you decide to continue.
Is AnswR compliant with Australian call-recording rules?
Yes. Recording is off by default and configurable per state. New South Wales and Victoria follow one-party-consent rules; Western Australia and Tasmania require all-party consent which AnswR handles via a brief recorded disclosure at the start of each call. The default posture is the most conservative one for each region.
