For electricians
Hands in a switchboard, phone ringing in the van. Have a bludge instead.
Bludge answers your number in a natural American voice, asks the questions you would ask, and either books the job or takes the message. When inquiries arrive through your website, it rings each of them back within seconds.
- Says it's an AI in the first sentence of every call.
- Only calls inside US calling hours, in the lead's own time zone.
Help each caller with what they need.
A call missed at four in the afternoon, with both hands in a board, is missed as thoroughly as one at two in the morning. Bludge answers both the same way, and tells you which one it was.
-
An emergency
Half the house has no power
A homeowner, ten past six on a weeknight
- It asks
- It works out how much of the property is affected, whether the safety switch resets, and whether anything is hot or smoking, before it talks about times.
- It does
- The answers go on the job in your own words, so you know what you are driving to before you get in the van.
- It ends
- Booked into the next slot your calendar has open.
-
A quote request
A quote for an EV charger
Someone who filled in your website form at lunchtime
- It asks
- Single or three phase, how far the board is from the garage, whether they own the place, and when somebody can be there for a look.
- It does
- It answers what it has been told about your pricing and lead times, and says it does not know rather than guessing when it has not.
- It ends
- A time in your calendar, or a warm lead with the detail already taken.
-
After hours
A builder at twenty to ten
A site call, well outside your hours
- It asks
- Name, number, the site, and what has to happen first thing. It does not pretend somebody is about to answer.
- It does
- It tells the caller when you actually open, which is the same window your calling rules use.
- It ends
- An email to you with the message and the transcript before you have put the phone down.
These are examples of how calls can go. Bludge uses your business details and rules. Listen to a whole call

A US human answering service: from US$350 a month for 200 minutes.
The bill for having the phone answered, against one job you did not hear about.
The question is not what an AI costs. It is what you already pay to have the phone answered, and what one job is worth against it. We do not publish an average job value for electricians, because we would be making it up: put your own number in, and the arithmetic is yours.
AnswerConnect's advertised US offer, gathered 9 September 2026. Larger plans and overages cost more, and the minutes it counts include after-call work. The published rate card.
