QuoteShield for Electricians — Spend less time quoting and more time on the tools
You're halfway through a switchboard upgrade when your phone blows up with quote requests. Half of them want to know "how much to add a powerpoint" and disappear when you give them a price. The other half are rental property managers collecting three quotes they'll never act on. Meanwhile, a $15,000 solar install enquiry gets buried in the noise. Sparkies need a way to cut through the rubbish and find the jobs worth chasing.

How QuoteShield Helps Electricians
Cut Through the Noise
Electricians get hammered with small enquiries that barely cover the callout fee. QuoteShield scores every lead so you can spot the switchboard upgrades, solar installs, and new-build rough-ins hiding amongst the powerpoint requests.
Win More Commercial Work
Commercial electrical leads are gold — higher margins, repeat business, and bigger scopes. QuoteShield flags commercial indicators like business names, fit-out timelines, and compliance requirements so you never miss a good commercial opportunity.
Respond Faster to High-Value Leads
When someone's planning a $20K renovation with a full rewire, they're contacting three sparkies and going with whoever responds first. QuoteShield alerts you instantly to high-scoring leads so you're always first to call back.

Here's how QuoteShield analyses a real lead for electricians.
Incoming Lead
“G'day, we're doing a full reno on a 1970s Queenslander in Paddington. The whole house needs rewiring — still has the original wiring and ceramic fuses. Also want to add a new meter board, downlights throughout, and rough-in for a future EV charger in the carport. Builder is starting demo next month. Can you come have a look?”
QuoteShield AI Analysis
Excellent lead — large scope renovation with builder involvement and clear timeline
This is a premium lead. Full house rewire on an older property indicates a substantial job ($10K+). The customer has specific requirements (meter board, downlights, EV charger rough-in), a builder already engaged, and a concrete timeline. Builder involvement signals a serious project with budget allocated.

Common Tyre-Kicker Patterns for Electricians
QuoteShield's AI spots these red flags automatically so you don't waste your time.
"How much to install a powerpoint? Just a rough number" — minimum spend job, price shopping only
"My smoke alarms are beeping, what should I do?" — looking for free advice, not booking a job
"The real estate wants a safety check, what's the cheapest option?" — cost-driven, no relationship potential
"Can you just tell me if I need an electrician or if I can do it myself?" — DIY-minded, unlikely to book

Frequently Asked Questions
Does QuoteShield understand different types of electrical work?
Yes. The AI distinguishes between maintenance calls, renovations, new installations, commercial fit-outs, and solar work. Each type is scored differently because a switchboard upgrade has very different conversion patterns compared to a single powerpoint install.
I specialise in solar installations — can QuoteShield filter for that?
Absolutely. QuoteShield picks up on solar-specific language like panel capacity, inverter types, battery storage, and feed-in tariffs. Solar leads with specific system requirements and roof details score much higher than vague "how much is solar" enquiries.
How does QuoteShield handle leads from builders and project managers?
Builder and PM leads are flagged as high-value because they typically represent larger scopes and repeat business potential. The AI recognises professional language patterns, project references, and commercial indicators that distinguish trade-to-trade enquiries from residential.
Can I use QuoteShield alongside ServiceM8 or AroFlo?
QuoteShield captures and scores leads on your website. Once you decide to pursue a lead, you manage it in whatever job management system you already use. It sits at the front of your pipeline, before your existing workflow kicks in.
What about emergency electrical leads — do they get scored differently?
Emergency indicators like "sparking," "no power," "burning smell," or "tripped and won't reset" are weighted heavily. These leads get the highest priority flags because they convert at near 100% — when someone has no power, they're not tyre-kicking.
