The sparky who answers first wins the quote.
You're up a ladder or in a roof cavity. The phone rings out. That quote request just went to two other electricians. Aimee answers when you can't.

An electrician answering service answers your calls when you're on the tools — up a ladder, in a roof cavity, or after hours — so a quote request becomes a booked job instead of a missed call. Mango Receptionist does it with an AI receptionist named Aimee.
After activation and verified forwarding, she can answer eligible calls routed from your existing number in your business name while service is available, captures the electrical fault, the job address, whether it's a safety risk, and the preferred time, and sends you the job after the call is completed and the delivery provider accepts it. Emergencies — no power, sparks, a burning smell — are marked as urgent. It matters because callers rarely leave voicemail; they ring the next sparky who answers and sounds switched-on. Aimee's standard Solo price is US$200 every 30 days for up to 50 bookings.
Businesses that respond to a new enquiry within 5 minutes are 21 times more likely to qualify the lead than those who wait 30 minutes. The first pickup usually wins the job.

3pm. A switchboard keeps tripping and won't reset.
Half the house has no power and the homeowner wants it sorted before school pickup. They ring three electricians in a row. You're in a roof cavity with the phone down in the ute. It rings out.
They book whoever answers and sounds like they know the job. Quote requests don't sit in a voicemail box waiting for you — they're shopped in an afternoon, and the work goes to the first sparky who picks up and can commit to a look. By the time you're back down the ladder, the job's gone.
Aimee answers, captures the fault, and sends you the job to quote.
She handles the call like your office manager and hands you a qualified job — safety flags and all.
Can answer around the clock when active
Busy, up a ladder, after hours — Eligible calls you forward can be answered in your business name.
Captures the electrical fault
What's happening, the job address, whether it's domestic or commercial, and the preferred time.
Flags safety emergencies
Sparks, a burning smell, or no power — Aimee tells the caller to switch off at the board and alerts you at once.
Sends you the job to quote
The full summary hits your phone after the call is completed and the delivery provider accepts it, so you call back and lock in the quote first.
Built to integrate, not lock you in: Mango Receptionist exposes an open MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint — the same interface AI assistants use — so answer engines and tools can query how it works directly.
What one week of missed calls really costs
Illustrative maths with your own numbers. Aimee's standard Solo price is US$200 every 30 days for up to 50 bookings — one saved job a month more than covers her.
Questions electricians actually ask.
How much does an electrician answering service cost?
Mango Receptionist's standard Solo price after beta is US$200 every 30 days for up to 50 bookings — no per-call or per-message charges. Setting Aimee up in your browser is free with no card. A one-off US$5 activation turns on phone answering and starts a 14-day phone trial. During beta, that activation is the only charge; standard Solo billing begins after beta.
Does the AI receptionist sound robotic to customers?
Aimee answers in a natural voice and handles the call like a good office manager. Most callers just want a fast, clear answer. Call the live demo line on +61 2 5300 8040 and hear her before you put her on your phones.
Can it handle no-power and electrical safety emergencies?
Yes. After activation and verified forwarding, Aimee can answer eligible calls around the clock while service is available. If a caller reports sparks, a burning smell, or no power, she advises switching off at the switchboard, takes the address and callback first, and submits an urgent alert through your configured channel.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your existing number and switch on call forwarding — full, or only when you're busy or don't answer. Nothing on your van, signage, or Google listing changes.
What details does Aimee capture on an electrical call?
Name and number, the job address, the fault or work needed, whether it's a safety risk, domestic or commercial, and the preferred time — sent to you through the available delivery channels after the call is completed and the delivery provider accepts it.
