Electrical · Done-for-you AI

AI for Electrical Contractors. We run it. You run the jobs.

Electrical work has a paperwork tail that grows faster than the crew does. We run the estimates, invoices, change orders and service-agreement reminders, so your office work happens on the weeks everyone is flat out.

We do not answer phones and we do not provide an AI receptionist. Here is what those tools actually do.

Where the money leaks

Electrical work has a paperwork tail that grows faster than the crew does.

Estimates, change orders, permits, inspection scheduling, invoices, and the service agreements that were supposed to be recurring revenue but only recur when somebody remembers to send the reminder.

Estimates sit in a drafts folder

The bigger the job, the longer they sit, because the bigger jobs need thought.

Change orders get documented late

Change orders get agreed on site and documented later, sometimes never, and that is money.

Service agreements lapse silently

Recurring revenue is only recurring if something triggers it.

Invoices go out late

Invoices go out in batches whenever someone gets to it, which pushes your cash conversion out by weeks.

An electrical contractor does not need a bigger office. It needs the office work to happen without an office, and to keep happening on the weeks when everyone is flat out.

A day, before and after

The same day, with the office work handled.

7:00 am
You write last week’s estimates over coffee, between permit calls.
Estimates are drafted from your notes and wait for your approval; once approved they go out the same morning.
Midday
A change order agreed on site is documented “when there is time”.
The change order is written up the same day, so it is billable and nobody argues about it later.
5:00 pm
Invoices wait for the weekend batch; the unpaid ones wait longer.
Invoices go out as jobs close. Overdue ones get reminders in your voice until they are paid.
An illustrative day, not a customer result. The helpers that run it are listed below.

This is probably not a fit if…

You want software you control. Plenty of good electrical contractor platforms exist and some owners genuinely enjoy running them. If that is you, buy one. You will be happier and it will cost less.

Your process only exists in your head. We can document it as part of onboarding, but if nothing is written down and nothing is consistent, automation will faithfully reproduce the inconsistency.

You are looking for someone to answer the phone. That is a live answering service, and it is a real thing to buy, just not from us.

If none of those apply, book a free 30-minute call, or run the numbers yourself first with our back-office ROI calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI for Electrical Contractors: quick answers

Can AI actually help an electrical contractor?

For the office work, yes. That is where most small electrical contractors lose money, not on the trade work itself. Quote and estimate follow-up, invoice chasing, scheduling coordination, reminders and review responses are repetitive, rule-based tasks that run reliably once they are set up properly. The trade work still needs your crew. The paperwork around it does not.

Can AI handle invoicing for an electrical contractor?

It can handle the repetitive part: generating the invoice when a job closes, sending it, and following up on the overdue ones on a schedule. It works inside the accounting system you already use, such as QuickBooks. You still decide what gets billed; the chasing stops depending on someone remembering to do it.

Can AI follow up on estimates for an electrical business?

Yes. Follow-up on an unanswered estimate is a rule-based task: a message after a few days, another after a week, and a flag to you when a customer replies. We set that up, run it, and adjust the wording to sound like you. Whether the customer says yes is still down to your price and your reputation.

Do I have to learn new software?

No. That is the difference between what we do and buying a tool. We connect to the systems you already use, configure the automation, run it, and stay responsible for it when something breaks. You do not administer it, and there is no dashboard you are expected to check.

Does TVP answer my phones?

No. We do not provide phone answering or an AI receptionist, and we would rather say that plainly than let you assume otherwise. What we handle is everything that happens around the call: the follow-up, the quote, the invoice, the reminder and the review reply.

What does this cost for an electrical contractor?

Plans start at $297/mo for the AI Admin Assistant, $697/mo for the AI Office Manager and $1,497/mo for the full AI Back Office. Flat monthly fee, month to month, no long-term contract. Which tier fits depends on how many of these loops you want running, not on the size of your fleet.
