Online booking for electricians
Online booking for an electrician should ask what the job is, offer a time window that fits it, and let the customer upload a photo of the panel or fixture. That gives you a better first visit. Emergency slots stay protected, and the customer gets a message when the tech is on the way.

Different jobs, different visits
Troubleshooting a tripping breaker takes an open-ended window. A ceiling fan install is short. A form that asks which one you want makes the schedule realistic.
If the customer needs the power off, the form should say so and ask what is on the circuit, such as a freezer.
A photo saves a trip
A picture of the panel door, the label and the fixture tells you what to bring. Do not diagnose from it, but you can prepare.
Plan for access and permits
Renters need the landlord’s okay. Some work needs a permit before it starts. Asking early avoids a wasted trip.
Remind customers to clear a path to the panel. It saves time on arrival.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
A homeowner books a visit for a flickering light and attaches a photo of the fixture and the panel. You arrive with the right bulbs and tester.
A customer books a ceiling fan install and is asked if there is existing wiring in the box. You plan the time accordingly.
A landlord books three visits across a week for outlet repairs in different units. The system groups them by building to save drive time.
