AI prompts for electricians

Act as an experienced electrician writing a customer quote.
Turn my rough notes into a clear, professional quote in plain English.
Customer: [customer name]. Job address: [job address].
Scope in my words: [scope, e.g. upgrade switchboard to new consumer unit, fit RCBOs on all circuits, install 2 new double GPOs in kitchen].
List the work as clear line items, add a short friendly intro and a "what's included / not included" section (note any making-good, patching or a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work if applicable).
Keep the pricing blank for me to fill in. Australian spelling.

Write a short, polite message to [customer name] explaining a variation to their job at [job address].
Original scope: [original scope]. Change now needed: [what changed and why, e.g. opened the switchboard and found no safety switches and undersized mains, both need doing before I can add the new circuit].
Explain in plain terms why it's needed for safety and compliance, that it adds [extra cost/time], and ask them to approve before I proceed.
Friendly but clear. No jargon.

I'm quoting a [job type, e.g. full house rewire] for [customer name] at [job address].
Scope: [scope, e.g. rough-in new cabling, new switchboard, fit-off points and fittings, test and commission].
Break this into logical stages a customer can understand (e.g. rough-in, switchboard change-over, fit-off, test and certify), and suggest a fair progress-payment schedule for each stage (deposit, then stage payments, then completion).
Explain what happens at each stage in one line. Leave dollar amounts blank for me.

Write 3 short options for a friendly closing paragraph on an electrical quote.
My business: [business name], a licensed electrician in [area].
What we're good at: [e.g. tidy work, on time, fully licensed and insured, safety switches on every job, we test and certify our work and leave the paperwork with you].
Keep each option to 2-3 sentences, confident but not salesy. Australian tone.

Act as a senior electrician reviewing a job scope before I quote it.
Job: [job type, e.g. switchboard upgrade + EV charger install] at [job address]. My current scope: [paste your scope / line items].
List anything commonly forgotten on this type of job (materials, cabling and circuit protection, access, isolation/shutdown time, making good, disposal of the old board, and any Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work or network/DNSP paperwork).
Just a checklist of "did you allow for..." questions. Don't invent prices, and don't give me electrical design or compliance advice — just a memory-jogger I'll check against the wiring rules myself.

Great for catching the stuff that eats your margin later.

Write a friendly, professional reply to a new job enquiry.
Customer wrote: "[paste their message, e.g. half my power points have stopped working]".
I'm a licensed electrician in [area]. Thank them, confirm I can help, ask the 3-4 questions I need to quote or diagnose it ([e.g. address, what's tripping or dead, when it started, photos of the switchboard, access]), and say I'll get back to them.
Keep it short and easy to read on a phone.

Write a short, apologetic text to [customer name] letting them know I'm running about [X minutes/hours] late to their job at [job address] because [reason, keep it honest, e.g. a fault-find at the last job took longer than expected].
Give them a new arrival time and thank them for their patience. Warm and genuine, not corporate.

Help me write a calm, honest message to [customer name] about a problem on their job at [job address].
The issue: [what I found, e.g. perished rubber wiring and no earthing on half the circuits — it's a safety risk].
What I recommend: [your fix / next step].
Acknowledge it, don't over-apologise, explain the options and why it matters for their safety, and reassure them I'll sort it. Keep it steady and professional.

Explain [technical issue, e.g. why the switchboard needs upgrading, or why a safety switch (RCD) keeps tripping, or why the mains can't handle an EV charger] to a customer who isn't an electrician.
Use a simple everyday comparison, keep it to a short paragraph, and end with what it means for them (cost/time/safety) without scaring them. Plain, friendly Australian English.

A customer says my quote for [job, e.g. the switchboard upgrade] is more than they expected. Help me write a polite, confident reply.
My quote covers: [key inclusions and quality points, e.g. new safety switches on every circuit, correctly rated cabling, licensed work, testing and a compliance certificate, tidy make-good].
Don't be defensive or drop the price. Reinforce the value and the safety, offer to walk them through the quote, and leave the door open. Short and respectful.

Write a friendly follow-up message to [customer name] about the quote I sent for [job, e.g. the switchboard upgrade] at [job address] on [date].
Check if they've had a chance to look at it, offer to answer any questions, and keep it low-pressure.
2-3 sentences, sounds like a real person, not a chase-up bot.

Write a short confirmation text for [customer name] for their job at [job address] tomorrow.
Include: arrival window [time], roughly how long I'll be there, that the power will be OFF for part of the day ([rough duration]) so they can plan around it, anything they need to do first ([e.g. clear access to the switchboard, keep pets inside, back up anything on a UPS]), and my number to call if anything changes.
Clear and friendly.

Write a message to [customer name] to book the next stage of their job at [job address].
Last stage done: [what was completed, e.g. rough-in wiring is in]. Next stage: [what's next, e.g. fit-off and testing] which takes about [duration].
Offer [2-3 date options] and ask which suits. Friendly and easy to reply to.

Help me reschedule [customer name]'s job at [job address] from [original date] because [honest reason, e.g. a customer's power is off and I've had to prioritise an emergency fault].
Apologise briefly, offer [2 alternative dates], and reassure them their job is still a priority. Keep it warm and short.

Here are the jobs I've got on this week: [list jobs with rough location and duration, e.g. Mon - Smith switchboard upgrade (full day, power off, Newtown); Tue - Jones dead power point fault-find (2hr, Marrickville); Wed - EV charger install (half day, Ashfield)...].
Suggest a sensible order to run them to cut down driving between suburbs, and flag anything that looks too tight to fit — especially the power-off jobs that need a full day. Keep it as a simple day-by-day list.

Write a short, warm message asking [customer name] for a Google review now their job at [job address] is finished.
Thank them, say it genuinely helps a small local electrical business, and make it easy: mention I'll send the review link.

Send it the day after you finish, while they're still stoked with the work.

Write a genuine, friendly reply to this 5-star review for my electrical business: "[paste review]".
Thank them by name if given, mention something specific from their job (e.g. the switchboard upgrade or the fault we tracked down), and keep it warm and human. Don't sound copy-pasted.

Help me reply to a negative review for my electrical business. The review says: "[paste review]".
My side / what actually happened: [your notes].
Write a calm, professional public reply: acknowledge their experience, don't get defensive or argue details publicly, and invite them to contact me directly to sort it. Short and level-headed.

Write a casual message I can send to past happy customers asking them to keep me in mind for friends and family who need an electrician.
Friendly, not pushy, no discount gimmicks. Sounds like a local sparkie who does good, safe work and appreciates word of mouth.

Write a polite but firm email to [wholesaler name] chasing an order.
Order: [what you ordered, e.g. consumer unit, RCBOs and 6mm cable] placed on [date], order ref [number].
It was due [date] and I've got a customer job booked that depends on it. Ask for a firm delivery date and to be called if there's a delay. Professional and to the point.

Write a short email to [wholesaler name] requesting a price and availability on the following for a job:
[paste your materials list, e.g. 7-way switchboard, 6x RCBOs, EV charger, 2.5mm & 6mm TPS, double GPOs].
Ask for trade pricing, lead time, and whether they can deliver to [job address / suburb]. Keep it brief and businesslike.

I'll list what I spent on a job and I want a tidy cost summary.
Job: [job / customer]. Costs: [list each item and amount, e.g. consumer unit $180, RCBOs $210, cable $160, EV charger $650, subbie half day $400].
Group them (materials / labour / hire / disposal), total each group and the whole job, and format it so I can drop it straight into my records.

Don't paste anything you wouldn't want stored — keep customer bank details and the like out of it.

Draft a starting-point Safe Work Method Statement for [task, e.g. changing over a switchboard / working near live equipment].
List the main hazards, the controls I should have in place (including isolation, lock-out/tag-out and proving dead), and PPE required, as a simple checklist.
Note that I must review it against my site's actual conditions, the wiring rules and local regulations before using it, and that isolating, testing dead and certifying the work is my job as the licensed electrician, not the AI's. Don't treat it as final or compliant on its own.

Always have a qualified person check safety documents against current regs and the actual site. The AI never isolates, tests dead or certifies — your licence, your responsibility.

Write a short, friendly email to send with an invoice to [customer name] for their completed job at [job address].
Thank them, note the invoice is attached (and the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work if I've included it), state the total [$amount] and due date [date], and how they can pay [payment methods].
Warm and professional. Australian tone.

Write a polite reminder to [customer name] about an overdue invoice for their job at [job address].
Invoice [number], amount [$amount], was due [date].
Assume it's an honest oversight, keep it friendly, restate how to pay, and ask them to let me know if there's any issue. Firm but respectful.
