Command for Electrical

Code compliant.
Permit ready.
Always first to respond.

Electrical work carries more liability than almost any trade. Command handles the compliance, documentation, and permit paperwork so your team can focus on the work - and you can focus on growth.

What electrical contractors deal with

The 4 things unique to electrical.

PAIN_01 · PANEL ESTIMATE COMPLEXITY

Every panel job is different. Estimates take hours.

Load calculations, amperage requirements, code lookup, permit cost estimation - most estimating software doesn't know the difference between a 100A and 200A upgrade. Command does.

PAIN_02 · PERMIT + INSPECTION DANCE

Permit filed. Inspector no-show. Job stalls.

Electrical permits require inspection before close. Rescheduling, re-inspections, and tracking status across multiple municipal portals is admin overhead that kills your margin.

PAIN_03 · CODE CHANGES

NEC updates. Local amendments. Something changed last week.

Local code amendments vary by municipality and change frequently. Most electricians find out about violations from an inspector, not before. Command monitors code changes in your service area.

PAIN_04 · SAFETY DOCUMENTATION

An arc flash. No documentation. Now it's your problem.

Safety incident documentation, circuit labeling verification, and arc flash assessment records need to exist per-job. Manual processes miss things. Missed things create liability.

The difference Command makes

Before Command. After Command.

// BEFORE COMMAND
Technician voicemail for urgent calls.
Homeowner in the dark. Emergency becomes a lost job.
Guessing wire gauge and panel load.
Wrong guess = code violation + re-work + lost margin.
Permit delays killing your schedule.
Filed manually. Status unknown. Jobs pile up.
Unclear material costs until job is done.
Invoice surprise. Homeowner dispute. Bad review.
// AFTER COMMAND
AI answers emergencies 24/7.
Every urgent call handled. No voicemail. No missed revenue.
Satellite + panel data pulled before visit.
Tech arrives knowing wire gauge, load, and scope.
Permit auto-tracked from filing to inspection.
Status visible in real time. No manual portal checks.
Real-time material costs per job.
Estimate reflects today's pricing. No post-job surprises.
What Command does differently for electrical

5 things built for electrical.

01

Panel load calculation AI

Tech inputs existing load, new circuit requirements, and local code. AI calculates required panel size, wire gauge, and generates the estimate with local material pricing. Eliminates the spreadsheet.

02

Permit auto-filing + inspection tracking

Electrical permits filed automatically at job creation. Inspection scheduling tracked. Status updates pushed to the tech and the office. Rescheduling handled without manual calls.

03

Code lookup by municipality

NEC base code + local amendments for every city in your service area. Tech can query code requirements from the field app. Inspector-ready documentation generated automatically.

04

Safety documentation per job

Circuit test results, lockout/tagout logs, arc flash assessment records - required fields enforced per job type. Everything timestamped and stored. Liability gap closed.

05

EV charger + solar estimate flow

EV charger installs and solar tie-in are the fastest-growing electrical jobs. Command includes specialized estimate flows for both, with local utility interconnection requirements pre-loaded.

How Command works for electrical.

From the first call to the final invoice - every step automated, every handoff tracked.

01
AI PHONE AGENT

Homeowner calls about tripped breaker or panel upgrade

The AI phone agent picks up every call - midnight emergency or Tuesday afternoon upgrade inquiry. It introduces itself as your scheduling assistant, triages urgency, pulls the address and any prior panel history, and logs the lead instantly. No voicemail. No hold. No missed job.

02
JOB SCOPING

AI scopes the job - wire gauge, panel capacity, permit requirements auto-detected

Command pulls satellite data and building age for the address to estimate wiring complexity and likely panel capacity. The AI asks targeted qualifying questions - breaker age, symptoms, desired amperage - and auto-detects whether a permit is required based on jurisdiction.

03
ESTIMATE ENGINE

Itemized estimate sent to homeowner within 60 seconds, including material costs

Command generates a branded estimate with live material pricing for breakers, wire, and conduit. Panel inspection fee, labor, and permit cost are line-itemized. The homeowner receives a mobile-optimized estimate link by SMS in under 60 seconds - no app, no login, any phone.

04
DISPATCH + PERMITS

Permit application auto-prepared, tech dispatched with full job briefing

On estimate acceptance, Command creates the job, pre-fills the permit application for the correct jurisdiction, and adds the job to your dispatch board. The assigned tech receives a full briefing - panel history, permit status, required materials - before arriving on site.

05
CLOSE + UPSELL

Job closes, invoice fires, follow-up sequence starts for panel upgrade upsell

GPS-verified job close triggers the invoice automatically. Payment link sent to homeowner. If the job was an inspection or minor repair, Command starts a follow-up sequence for a panel upgrade conversation - timed and personalized. Revenue from completed jobs seeds the next job.

What homeowners actually receive

A real estimate. In 60 seconds.

This is what lands in the homeowner's SMS within a minute of their call. Branded, itemized, actionable.

Permit compliance

38% of electrical jobs need a permit. Most aren't tracked.

More than a third of electrical jobs - panel upgrades, sub-panel additions, new circuits, EV charger installs - require a permit before work begins. Tracking permit status across multiple municipal portals is a full-time admin job. When permits fall through, failed inspections cost $800+ per incident in re-inspection fees, rescheduling overhead, and crew idle time.

Command eliminates the permit tracking problem entirely. Every qualifying job auto-generates the application, files it with the right jurisdiction, and surfaces inspection status in the same dashboard where your techs see their job board. Nothing falls through.

01
Address entered
Homeowner address captured at intake - jurisdiction determined automatically.
02

What running your business actually looks like

A week in the life with Command.

MON · 11:42 PM

Homeowner texts about a tripped breaker. You're asleep.

The AI agent handles triage - asks qualifying questions, determines it's a tripped breaker not an emergency outage, and holds a morning slot for the earliest available tech. The homeowner gets a confirmation text with estimated arrival time. You see the new booking in your Daily Brief at 6am. You never touched your phone.

WED · 8:00 AM

Tech arrives to a panel upgrade with everything already handled.

The permit is approved. The estimate is accepted. Materials are pre-ordered and confirmed for delivery. The tech's briefing shows panel age, current load calculation, and required wire gauge before he leaves the truck. No surprises. No calls back to the office to ask what was quoted.

FRI · 5:00 PM

3 panel upgrades closed. $4,200 net. You never touched the phone.

Three panel upgrade jobs closed this week. Command calculated job-level margin on each one, fired invoices on close, and logged payments automatically. The week's P&L is visible in the dashboard. Owner reviews it in 4 minutes, approves payroll in two taps, and closes the laptop. Done.

Common questions from electrical contractors

Electrical-specific answers.

Can Command handle 24/7 emergency electrical calls?

Yes. The AI agent triages panel emergencies, gas odor escalations, and outages at any hour. It qualifies urgency in real time - active outage vs. tripped breaker vs. cosmetic issue - dispatches an on-call technician when needed, and logs every detail automatically. No emergency call is missed, no homeowner hits voicemail at midnight.

Does Command track permits for electrical work?

Yes. Command auto-generates permit applications by jurisdiction when a qualifying job is created. It tracks inspection status in the same dashboard your techs use, pushes status updates to the office and field, and handles rescheduling coordination when inspections are missed. Your office never manually touches a municipal permit portal.

How does satellite data help with electrical estimates?

Satellite data pulls square footage and building age to estimate wiring complexity, likely panel capacity, and the scope of work required before the technician arrives on site. A 1960s 1,400 sq ft home likely has a 100A panel and aluminum wiring - Command surfaces that context automatically. Faster, more accurate estimates. Fewer surprises mid-job.

Can Command manage recurring maintenance contracts for commercial electrical?

Yes. Command's membership engine handles commercial maintenance agreements - scheduling recurring inspections, tracking contract status, auto-invoicing on renewal dates, and flagging accounts due for upsell conversations. Multi-location commercial clients are tracked under a single account with per-location job histories. The whole engine runs without manual follow-up from your office.
