Electrician working on a home electrical panel, answering service for electricians

Otto is an answering service for electricians that answers your calls 24/7 in your company's name. It books repairs, panel upgrades and EV charger quotes into your calendar, checks the ZIP code, and sends urgent calls to your team using your rules.

Where Electrical Companies Lose Calls

Your hands are in a panel

Stopping work for a ringing phone is not always practical. Otto collects the caller’s details while your crew stays focused on the job.

Urgent calls reach voicemail

After-hours callers need a next step. Your emergency rules decide when Otto alerts a person and when a routine visit gets booked.

Project quotes need a visit

Panel and EV charger inquiries need more than a message. Otto can book the estimate, while JobFlow adds follow-up after the quote.
