Book a call

Hands in a panel. Phone buzzing in your pocket.

Penstock picks up, chases the EV charger quote, keeps inspections on track and gets the invoice paid, so you can finish the job you’re on. For electrical contractors in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver.

A normal day with the power off.

Tick the ones that happened to you this week. Nobody’s inspecting this one.

WHAT KIND OF WORK?

The same day, with Penstock.

Same five moments. Nothing tripped.

  1. YOU TICKED THIS

    Hands in a panel when the phone buzzes. You let it go.

    Picked up on the second ring. A site visit booked for Thursday, photos of the panel requested, and the details texted to you before you closed the cover.

    New job: Karen, 18 Birch Rd. 200-amp upgrade for a heat pump. Site visit Thu 3 PM. Panel photos attached.

  2. YOU TICKED THIS

    The EV charger quote from last week. Still no reply.

    A check-in went out on day 2, answering the question she hadn’t asked yet. She booked on day 4.

    TEXTED TO ROSA, AS YOU

    Hi Rosa, it’s Dave. Quick note on the charger quote: it includes the permit and the inspection, so no surprises. Want me to hold a spot next week?

  3. YOU TICKED THIS

    Inspection’s booked for Friday. Did anyone tell the homeowner?

    When the inspection was booked, the homeowner got the date and a reminder the day before. When it passed, the job moved to “ready to invoice” on its own.

    Hi Karen, the electrical inspection is Friday between 9 and 12. Someone needs to be home to let the inspector in. Thanks! Dave

  4. YOU TICKED THIS

    The Henderson panel upgrade passed inspection three weeks ago. Still not paid.

    The invoice went out the day it passed inspection, with a pay link. Paid by card that evening.

    Invoice follow-up
    TEXTED TO LINDA, AS YOU

    Hi Linda, Dave here. Good news, the panel passed inspection. Here’s the invoice, and the link if card is easier.

  5. YOU TICKED THIS

    Your crew texts: “Which site tomorrow? Where’s the key? Is the lift coming?” Then the permit forms.

    Your crew texted the team line and got the answer from your job notes, with where it came from. You finished dinner.

    Tomorrow: Henderson, 41 Elm St, 7 AM. Key is in the lockbox, code 2290. The lift arrives at 8. (From the job notes.)

Same day. No loose wires.

Book a call

The people, businesses and messages here are made up, to show the idea. Yours are written with you, in your words, and you approve them before anything goes out.

What it won’t do.

Honest limits, so nothing surprises you, your customers or the inspector.

  • Won’t make code calls

    Anything about safety, sizing or code comes from your own guides, or from you. Never a guess.

  • Won’t set your prices

    It books the visit and gathers the photos. The number comes from you.

  • Won’t pull permits in your name

    It tracks them and reminds everyone. Applying stays with you.

  • Won’t argue about money

    Reminders stay friendly. If someone disputes a bill, it comes to you.

  • Won’t pretend to know

    When it isn’t sure, it says so, takes a message and tells you.

  • Won’t make you switch software

    It works with what you use now, even if that’s a calendar and a spreadsheet.

Everything else, it handles. Anything it shouldn’t, it hands to you.

  1. One call, from the van if you like.

    Twenty minutes walking me through how calls, quotes, inspections and invoices move today. That’s most of your part done.

  2. First fixes live in under 48 hours.

    Usually missed calls and quote follow-up first. You skim the messages, tell me what to change, and they switch on.

  3. I keep it running.

    Every month: what came in, what got booked, where jobs stalled, and the next fix. Heat pump season included.

Questions, answered.

Can it tell a sparking outlet from a dimmer question?

You set the rules. A burning smell, sparking or a full outage can ring you right away; a downed line or a fire gets told to call 911 first. Everything else gets booked.

Can it ask for photos of the panel?

Yes. It can text a link for photos of the panel, the label and where the charger is going, so you can price simple jobs before you drive out.

What does the team line answer?

The everyday questions your crew would otherwise call you about: which site, the gate code, where the material is, how you like a job closed out. Answers come from your own job notes and guides, with where they came from. Anything about safety or code goes to you.

What if I want to answer the call myself?

Then you do. Your phone can ring first, and it only picks up when you can’t. Or it answers every call and texts you the details. It’s set up around how you work, and you can change it any time.

Do I have to switch my job software?

No. It works with your current setup, or a new system if you need one.

How much of my time does setup take?

About an hour, all in. A 20-minute call, a few logins, and a quick read of the messages before they go live.

See what you could take off your plate.

Book a 20-minute call. You'll leave knowing where time and money slip away, and what's worth automating first, whether you work with us or not. If we go ahead, your first fixes are usually live within 48 hours.
