Virtual Assistant for Electricians
Electrical work comes with more paperwork than most trades. Every panel upgrade or EV charger install can mean a permit, an inspection date and a customer who wants to know when the lights come back on.
When you're the one pulling wire all day, quotes go cold, permit portals sit half-filled, and customers call asking for updates you haven't had time to give. An electrician's virtual assistant handles the office side so you can stay on the tools.
What your VA handles
Following up on quotes
Panel upgrades, rewires and generator installs are big decisions. Your VA follows up on every open quote, answers basic questions and books the job when the customer says yes.
Scheduling service calls
Outlet repairs, breaker trips, lighting installs: your VA books them into the right day and the right tech, and sends a reminder so you aren't standing at a locked door.
Permit and inspection paperwork
Your VA fills out permit applications on your city or county portal, uploads documents, tracks approval status and books the inspection, then puts the date on your calendar.
Customer updates during projects
On longer jobs, customers get a quick text or email when the permit is approved, when materials arrive and when the inspection is set. Fewer 'just checking in' calls for you.
Supplier and material orders
Your VA can place orders with your supply house, confirm pickup or delivery times and keep a simple log of what was ordered for which job.
Commercial bid paperwork
For small commercial work, your VA gathers insurance certificates, licenses and W-9s so your bid packages go out complete and on time.
A dedicated VA, backed by AI
We add AI where it saves the most time. A website chatbot answers common questions like 'Do you install EV chargers?' or 'What areas do you serve?' and collects details for a quote. After hours, an AI voice agent takes calls and books service slots.
We also build simple workflows that move a job forward on their own: when a quote is accepted in your software, the permit task lands in your VA's queue and the customer gets a welcome message. Your VA picks up every handoff with the details already filled in.
How it works
Getting started is simple. We begin with a short call about where your hours go, then match you with a VA whose experience fits your industry. During the first week they shadow your process, and we write it into a playbook so the work stays consistent even on days your VA is out. You review their work, give feedback, and add tasks as trust builds.
Pricing
Our virtual assistants start at $20 an hour, with a 40-hour minimum to get started. You get a dedicated assistant trained on your business, a written playbook of everything they handle, and one point of contact on our team. AI voice agents, chatbots and workflows are scoped separately based on your volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a virtual assistant for electricians cost?
Pricing starts at $20 an hour with a 40-hour minimum. Shops with heavy permit work often find the VA pays for itself just by getting jobs approved and on the schedule faster.
Can a VA pull permits for me?
They can prepare and submit applications through online portals under your license, track status and book inspections. Anything that legally needs your signature stays with you, and your VA tells you when it's ready.
Which software can the VA use?
ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks and most permit portals. If you track jobs in spreadsheets, they can work there too, though we'll probably suggest something better.
Is this better than hiring an office assistant?
For most small electrical contractors, yes. You skip recruiting, payroll and training from scratch, and you can adjust hours as your workload changes instead of carrying a fixed salary.
How quickly can a VA start?
Usually within one to two weeks. We learn your services, service area and permit process first, then write it down so the work stays consistent.
