The AI answering service built for electricians
You can't stop mid-wire or climb down from a ladder to answer the phone. Talvio answers every call 24/7 — flags the safety emergencies, books the job into your calendar, and texts the customer a confirmation — while you keep both hands on the work.
Every missed call could be a job — or a safety emergency
When you're elbow-deep in a panel or up in a ceiling cavity, answering the phone isn't an option. So legitimate customers hit your voicemail, hang up, and call the next electrician on Google. You never even hear about the job you lost.
And after hours it's higher stakes: a power outage, a sparking outlet, a burning smell from the breaker box. Homeowners in the dark don't leave voicemails — they call until someone answers. Talvio picks up on the first ring, sorts the true emergencies from the routine work, and makes sure the urgent ones reach you fast.
It books the job, not just a message
Talvio greets callers with your business name, works out whether it's a safety emergency or routine work, checks your real availability, and books the appointment — then texts a confirmation. Urgent calls get flagged to you right away.

Half my house lost power and there's a burning smell near the panel.
That's a safety issue — I'm flagging this as urgent and getting an electrician to you as soon as possible. Can I confirm your address?
Yes — 44 Maple Street.
Got it. I've alerted the on-call electrician and I'll text you a confirmation now.
Better than voicemail. Cheaper than a call center.
Traditional electrician answering services take a message and bill you by the minute. Talvio actually books the job and flags safety emergencies — for a flat monthly price.

Questions electricians ask
How is this different from an electrician answering service?
A traditional answering service takes a message and hands it back to you — you still have to call the customer, check your schedule, and book the job. Talvio does all of that on the call: it checks your availability, books the appointment, and texts a confirmation. And instead of per-minute billing, it's a flat monthly price starting at $99.
Can it handle electrical emergencies?
Yes. Talvio recognizes urgent, high-stakes situations — a power outage, a sparking outlet, a burning smell, a tripped main — flags them as emergencies, and alerts you right away so you can respond fast. Routine work like panel upgrades and fixture installs gets scheduled normally.
Will my customers know it's an AI?
It answers in your business name and holds a natural back-and-forth conversation. Most callers simply get their question answered or their appointment booked and hang up happy.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Keep the number you already use — forward it to Talvio, or put your new Talvio line on your van and website. Your carrier and existing number stay exactly as they are.
What happens after hours?
Talvio answers around the clock. After-hours callers get a live, natural conversation — safety emergencies are flagged to you immediately, and everything else is booked into your next open slot.
