EXCEL

AI Receptionist · Electricians

A sparking panel, a dead GFCI, and an EV charger install cannot share a script.

Electrical phones mix danger with shopping. A panel that sparks is not an EVSE estimate. A GFCI that will not reset is not a whole-house outage. Intake has to hear which one it is before anyone talks amp service.

EXCEL captures which part of the house is dark, whether anything is sparking or burning, and whether this is emergency, repair, or an EV charger / panel-upgrade quote. It does not size a panel and it does not promise a permit.

Hear an EXCEL receptionist. This demo will not size your panel or pull a permit.

Live demo

Meet Elliot.

Tell him what kind of business you run and hear how an EXCEL agent could handle a real customer conversation.

You’re testing Elliot from our Electricians example. Elliot is a demonstration receptionist — not a pre-built Electricians dispatcher. Your live system would be configured around your own workflows.

The quote line buries the burning smell

EV charger interest holds the phone while a kitchen circuit sparks. Partial outages get ‘flip the breaker’ from a script that should not coach live gear. Panel-upgrade shopping is sold like a 2am emergency.

Safety first, then which product this actually is

Spark, smoke, burning smell: safety card you wrote, often leave-the-panel-alone and on-call. Partial outage: which rooms, GFCI vs main. Quotes: EVSE, amp service, generator — different jobs, morning scheduling unless you truly run emergency service upgrades (almost nobody does at 11pm).

Electrical calls that need different next steps

  • “The panel is sparking.”

    Stop coaching. Safety card. On-call if that is your rule. Not a load calculation.

  • “Half the house is out. The GFCI will not reset.”

    Which rooms, last thing plugged in. Do not talk them through a live panel.

  • “I want a Level 2 charger in the garage.”

    Existing amp service only if they know it, panel location, decision-maker. Permit talk stays honest: you pull them when you do; the agent does not promise the city.

What dispatch needs before a van moves

  • Danger signs

    Spark, smoke, burning, water in the panel.

  • Scope

    One outlet, one room, half the house, whole house.

  • GFCI vs main

    Only if they already know. Do not diagnose.

  • Quote vs emergency

    EVSE, panel upgrade, and generator are not night trucks.

Hypothetical: kitchen outlets sparking at dinner

Hypothetical. Not electrical advice and not a live permit desk.

Homeowner
The kitchen outlets sparked when I plugged in the toaster. Breaker is hot. I can still smell it.
Receptionist (configured)
I will take this as a possible electrical hazard, not a diagnosis. Leave the panel alone. Is anything still smoking, and is the rest of the house on?
Homeowner
Kitchen is dead. Upstairs is on. Can you tell me which breaker to flip?
Receptionist (configured)
I will not walk you through a live panel. I will record kitchen spark, hot breaker, odor, partial outage, and follow your emergency routing. I will not call it a bad GFCI or promise a same-night panel upgrade.

Permit and amp-service quotes wait. Burning smell does not.

Electrical hard stops

  • Coach a live panel, breaker, or GFCI reset
  • Diagnose a circuit or ‘it is the main’
  • Promise a permit, inspection, or utility approval
  • Treat an EVSE quote like a sparking panel
  • Invent an amp-service size

When something smells like it is burning

Spark, smoke, and water-in-panel follow the safety card — often leave it, then on-call. EV charger and panel-upgrade shopping get a morning estimator. Generator quotes are not 2am work unless you truly run standby emergencies.

Electrical configuration

  • Hazard language you will stand behind
  • What you will page at night vs book tomorrow
  • EVSE and panel-upgrade questions for estimates
  • Whether you pull permits — said honestly
  • Service area and after-hours roster

Electricians still own the panel

Anything burning, water in gear, a panel that will not stay on, utility questions, permit status.

Plan details live on the pricing page. Current plans are listed there.

Parent pages

This page is the intersection. The service and industry pages still stand on their own.

Questions for this workflow

Will it tell them which breaker to flip?

No. Live-panel coaching is a hard stop. It records what they already tried.

Can it say we will pull the permit?

Only if that is your written policy. It should not promise the city.

Are EV charger calls emergencies?

Almost never. They are estimates: amp service, panel location, a walkthrough.

What if they smell burning?

Your safety card. Usually stop, leave the gear, on-call. Not a DIY reset.

Does it diagnose a bad GFCI over the phone?

No. Partial outage and which rooms. A licensed electrician still opens it.

Will it give electrical advice?

No. Safety scripts you approve only. Anything live-work stays with a licensed electrician.

Will it transfer a caller to a person?

Yes. Routing and escalation rules are defined with you. Anything outside approved scope can go to a person, a voicemail workflow, or a callback request.

Does it use a generic script?

No. EXCEL systems are built around the company’s services, hours, service area, and approved answers — not a one-size-fits-all call-center script.

Bring the last sparking-outlet voicemail and one EV quote that got the emergency script. That split is the page.
