AI for electrical shopsLima, Ohio & Allen County

AI support for your Lima electrical business.

A phone agent answers your line when you're on a job, so more of your callers get a real response and can book service right away.

How the work actually goes

Service calls, panel upgrades, and a steady trickle of “is this safe?” calls — most of which arrive while you're inside a wall.

Running an electrical business in Lima means your phone is always competing with the job in front of you. Paglow builds AI tools sized for a local trade shop — not a call center — so you can field inquiries, schedule work, and keep your online presence current without pulling yourself off a job site.

The phone agent picks up on your own line, greets your callers in your business's voice, and can qualify the work and offer booking. Your website stays easy to update by click or voice. And if managing your estimate pipeline or follow-up list has gotten unwieldy, a custom CRM can bring that into one place built around how you work.

Calls that come in while you're pulling wire or working in a panel are easy to miss.

Keeping track of estimates, follow-ups, and scheduled jobs across different tools takes real time.

Updating your website or posting to social media tends to slip when the job load picks up.

The numbers

What the research says about businesses like yours

Published studies, not our marketing. Every source is linked.

12%Almost nobody in the trades answers fast — which is exactly the opening.

Only 12% of contractors got back to a new lead inside five minutes. The single most common response time was a full day, at 37%.

Hatch, 2024Analysis of 132,188 HVAC speed-to-lead campaigns
100×Five minutes versus thirty is the difference between reaching someone and missing them.

Responding to a new inquiry within five minutes made contact 100 times more likely than waiting thirty minutes, and made the lead 21 times more likely to enter the sales process at all.

68%Under four stars, most people don't even consider you.

68% of consumers say they'll only use a business rated four stars or higher — up from 55% a year earlier. Nearly a third now hold out for 4.5+.

53%Half your phone traffic is gone before the page finishes loading.

More than half of mobile visits are abandoned if a page takes longer than three seconds to load — the visitor is back in search results before they ever see who you are.

Everything we build

Every service, and what it changes for electrical shops

Start with one. The ones marked below are where most electrical shops see the fastest return — but they all work on the same operation.

Start here

Phone Agent

The panel-upgrade call, answered live

The agent picks up while you're on a job, gets the address and what's happening — half the house dark, a burning smell, a permit inspection — and escalates the ones that shouldn't wait.

  • Callers hear a friendly greeting in your voice, day or night
  • New leads are captured with name, number, and what they need
  • Every call shows up as a transcript you can read later

Website

Licensed, local, and easy to call

Electrical is a trust purchase. License, service area, the work you actually take, and a phone number that's always in reach on a phone screen.

  • Loads fast and looks right on every phone
  • Edit your own pages by clicking or speaking, no tech skills
  • Stays current because you change it the moment something changes
$500–$1,500 one-timeHow it works

Custom CRM

Quotes and permits in one line of sight

Service calls, quoted upgrades, jobs waiting on inspection — tracked so nothing sits in limbo because everyone assumed someone else was handling it.

  • Stop losing leads in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and inboxes
  • See every deal and where it stands at a glance
  • Built to match your steps, so your team actually uses it
$2,000 one-time + $1,000/yrHow it works

Second Brain

Code answers and past job notes

What you charged for the last service upgrade, the panel you found in that 1950s house, what the AHJ wanted last time — retrieved instead of recalled.

  • Stop digging through folders and old emails to find one detail
  • Ask in plain words and get an answer in seconds
  • Trust every answer because it shows the document it came from
$3,500 one-timeHow it works

Automated Social Media

Quiet authority, posted regularly

Clean panel work, a short safety explainer, a finished job — enough presence that when something sparks, you're the name they already trust.

  • You stay active online without writing a single post yourself
  • Posts sound like you, not like a generic ad
  • A steady schedule keeps you in front of local customers
$400–$800/moHow it works

Outbound Caller

Quoted upgrades that never got scheduled

Panel and generator quotes take time. The agent follows up so the ones ready to move get on the books.

  • Old leads get followed up instead of quietly going cold
  • Every call opens with what that person actually cared about
  • Common objections get handled instead of ending the call

Cold Email Pipeline

Builders and property managers reached

Repeat commercial work comes from steady, deliverable outreach to the right accounts. We fix the infrastructure and keep it running.

  • Deliverability problems get found and fixed, not guessed at
  • Your mailboxes get warmed to full sending capacity
  • Your data flows into your sending tool automatically

The workflow your software won't handle

The rest of what we build

Permit tracking, material takeoffs, service agreements — built around your shop instead of a generic field-service app.

Frequently asked questions

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?+

That's your call. The agent introduces itself however you prefer. Most clients in Lima choose a friendly, straightforward greeting that makes clear it's an automated assistant — callers tend to appreciate a quick response over reaching voicemail.

What happens when a caller has a complex question the agent can't handle?+

You can set a fallback for anything outside the agent's scope — send a text, flag a voicemail, or route to you directly. No call disappears without a next step.

How long does it take to get set up?+

Most electrical businesses are live with a phone agent and a refreshed website within a week or two. Paglow handles the build; you review and approve before anything goes live on your line.

Nothing urgent waits until you climb down.

Answer more of your after-hours and on-the-job calls without stopping what you're doing.
