AI Reception for Electricians

Separate an installation estimate from a report of a current electrical problem. Example: a caller asks about a panel upgrade, and intake records the address, project scope, and callback availability. Dialbox can follow your transfer instructions and take a message; it does not assess electrical safety, guide hazardous repairs, or guarantee an electrician is on the way.
