For electricians · South Africa

The tripping breaker is a same-day job, if you answer

Load-shedding, inverters, a burning smell at the DB board, a COC needed before a house sale. Every one of those starts with a message, and most of them arrive while you are on a ladder.

Where electricians lose the work

It is rarely the quote. It is the hour between the enquiry and the reply. These are the three places it happens most.

Safety questions need a fast, careful answer

"Is this dangerous?" is not a question to leave until tomorrow. A clear instruction to switch off and who to call protects the customer and your reputation.

COC work is deadline work

A house sale stalls without the certificate. The electrician who replies first gets a job that cannot be postponed.

Quotes go cold in a day

Solar and DB-board quotes are compared across three firms. The first clear reply usually wins.

What customers actually send

These are the messages that decide whether a electrician gets the job. An assistant that answers them properly is worth more than another advert.

“My main breaker keeps tripping since last night, can you come today?”
“How much for a certificate of compliance for a 3-bedroom house?”
“Do you install solar inverters and what does it cost?”
“There is a burning smell from the plugs in the kitchen — is that an emergency?”
“Can you quote to rewire a garage?”

What AskZuri knows about your business

You write it once, in your own words. The assistant never invents a price, a policy or a promise.

  • Your call-out fee, after-hours rate, COC price by property size, and how far you travel.
  • The safety lines you want said word for word (switch off, do not touch, emergency services).
  • Which products you install and which you will not, so it never promises a brand you do not carry.
  • Everything else is escalated to a person, with the customer's details attached.

What it will not do: it does not give professional advice, does not diagnose, and does not pretend to be a human when asked directly.

What is at stake

A call-out and fault find is often R1,200 to R3,000. A DB board or COC job is commonly R3,500 to R12,000, and an inverter install far more. These are not impulse purchases — they go to the business that answered.

You do not need a marketing budget to fix this. You need the enquiry answered while the customer is still holding the phone.

Answers in seconds

Website chat, WhatsApp and after-hours enquiries get a real answer immediately, not an auto-reply that says “we'll be in touch”.

Only the leads worth your time

Every enquiry is checked and scored. Hot, contactable leads come to your phone with one tap to call or WhatsApp. The rest wait in a daily summary.

Written down, every time

Name, number, what they need and permission to reply. One place, not five apps and a notebook.

How it works

  1. See it on your own business. The free demo is built from your website in about 30 seconds. No card, no call.
  2. Check the answers. We load your services, prices, hours and rules, and you correct anything that is wrong.
  3. Switch it on. It answers your website chat and WhatsApp, books into your calendar, and sends the leads to your phone.

Most electricians are live within a day. The 14-day trial needs no card, and there is no setup fee on Essentials or Growth.

Questions electricians ask

Can it handle emergency triage?

It can give the exact safety wording you write, take the address and number, and escalate to your phone immediately. It will not diagnose a fault — that is your job, and it says so.

Does it know COC requirements?

It knows the price and lead time you set for a COC, and it can explain that the certificate is issued after an inspection. It does not give legal advice or guarantee that a property will pass.

What if a customer sends a photo of their DB board?

On WhatsApp it can take the photo, attach it to the lead and tell the customer you will confirm the quote after seeing it. Your electrician still makes the call.

Can it book site visits into my calendar?

Yes, on the Growth and Pro plans it books into your calendar with travel gaps, and sends the customer a confirmation.
