5 electricians voicemail greetings
“Thanks for calling [Business]. If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the breaker if it's safe to do so and call 911. Otherwise, leave your name, address and what's going on, and we'll call you back shortly.”
“You've reached [Business]. We're on a job right now. Leave your name, number, address and what you need done, and we'll call you back today.”
“Hi, you've reached [Business]. For panel upgrades, EV chargers or other projects, leave your name, address and what you're planning, and we'll call you back to set up an estimate.”
“Thanks for calling [Business]. We're closed for the day. If you've lost power or have an electrical emergency, say so and leave your address. Otherwise, we'll call you back during business hours.”
“[Business]. Leave your name, address and the problem, and we'll get back to you.”
The catch with any voicemail greeting
Even a great greeting only works if the caller leaves a message, and a lot of callers hang up and try the next business instead. Riley answers those calls live in your business's name, takes the same details these greetings ask for, and emails them to you.
Tips for a electricians greeting that works
- Lead with safety; it protects the caller and you.
- Ask if the power is out in the whole home or one area.
- Project calls (EV chargers, panels) are high value; call them back first.
How to record your new greeting
- iPhone: Phone app → Voicemail → Greeting → Custom → Record.
- Android: Phone app → menu → Settings → Voicemail → Greeting (wording varies by phone), or dial your voicemail and follow the prompts.
