Electric-AI -- Smart Scheduling and Dispatch for Electrical Contractors

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

Sign 75 electrical contractors at $200/mo and you hit $180k ARR - but with Jobber and ServiceTitan already owning this workflow, you've got roughly a 14% shot of getting there before they ship the same AI feature.

Market size (TAM)

$90.0M

~75,000 US electrical contracting businesses with 3+ employees × ~$2,400/yr realistic spend on scheduling/dispatch AI, discounting solo operators and companies already locked into ServiceTitan/Jobber

probability-weighted, after investment

Go-to-market motion

Cold outbound email + Facebook group seeding to 5-20 employee electrical contractors → free trial with one dispatcher → $200/mo subscription after first month of saved scheduling time demonstrated.

Key risks

ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro are already dominant in this exact space and will ship AI scheduling as a feature update, not a new product - making standalone AI scheduling a feature, not a company
Cold-start accuracy problem: AI dispatch recommendations require historical job duration data per contractor, so the product gives bad suggestions for the first 2-4 months, killing trial-to-paid conversion
Electrical contractor owners skew 45-60 years old and notoriously resist new software - sales cycles are longer and churn is high when the owner's son or office manager leaves
