The workday
Electrical work needs your full attention
Outages, warning signs, fixture work, and installation estimates can all arrive while you are testing or working at height. Clara records what the customer reports without telling them how to open, test, bypass, or repair electrical equipment.
Partial or full outages
Capture the affected area, when it began, property context, and what the caller can observe without directing a test.
Reported warning signs
Record reports of sparking, heat, smoke, or burning odor and follow only the approved safety handling for the business.
Installation and estimates
Collect the fixture, equipment, room, property, timing, and decision-maker details for your review.
Commercial and existing work
Take structured messages from property managers or customers about access, certificates, return visits, or work underway.
A better first conversation
Start with the affected area and observed signs
A consistent electrical intake gives you useful context without turning the phone conversation into remote troubleshooting. Clara captures reported facts and leaves safety, diagnosis, and technical decisions with you.

- Organize reported warning signs for prompt owner review
What Clara will not do

- Promise a price, appointment, or arrival time outside the rules you provide
- Replace emergency services, dispatch, estimating, or field-service software
Before you connect the phone
Questions from electrician owners
Can Clara handle urgent electrical calls?
Clara can capture the warning signs you define and follow approved handling rules. It does not diagnose hazards, say a situation is safe, or replace emergency services.
Will Clara give electrical troubleshooting instructions?
No. Clara should not tell callers how to open, test, bypass, reset, or repair electrical equipment. Technical and safety decisions stay with a qualified professional.
Can Clara handle installation and estimate requests?
Yes. Give Clara your pricing instructions and tell it which installation requests it can estimate. Clara can give those estimates during the call, capture the fixture or equipment, property, access, timing, and contact details, and leave anything outside your rules for your review.
Can Clara answer property-manager calls?
Clara can collect the site, affected area, access contact, requested work, decision-maker, and timing, then follow the qualification, attendance, and pricing instructions you provide. Anything outside those rules comes back to you.
Can I test outage and estimate calls first?
Yes. Use the test-call step to try outage, warning-sign, installation, inspection, and existing-customer scenarios before connecting customer calls.
Does Clara learn how I run my business?
Yes. Clara starts with the services, hours, service area, pricing, questions, and call rules you give it. As you review calls and keep coaching Clara, it learns more about how you run the business and becomes better trained around how you want calls handled.
