SMS Appointment Reminders for Electricians

Why Appointment Reminders Matter for Electricians

When homeowners schedule electrical work, they want certainty—not vague time windows or no-shows. Whether it’s an EV charger install or a panel upgrade, a missed appointment creates frustration and revenue loss. SMS reminders keep your day on track and your customers informed, without needing manual calls.

Benefits of SMS appointment reminders:

• Reduces no-shows and missed visits

• Confirms appointments instantly and professionally

• Sets clear expectations for arrival windows

• Minimizes last-minute cancellations or reschedules

Timely, clear communication builds trust—and helps you complete more jobs without disruptions.

Appointment Reminder Message Templates (With Sample Texts)

Here’s when and how to message customers about upcoming electrical appointments:

Immediate Confirmation After Booking
“Thanks for scheduling with BrightLine Electric, [Name]! Your appointment is confirmed for [Date] at [Time]. Questions? Call or text us anytime at [Phone].”

24-Hour Appointment Reminder
“Just a reminder—your service with BrightLine Electric is tomorrow at [Time]. Reply YES to confirm or text us to reschedule.”

Day-Of Arrival Window
“Hi [Name], our electrician is scheduled to arrive between [Timeframe] today. Need to adjust anything? Just reply to this message.”

Optional: Pre-Visit Prep Instruction
“Before we arrive: Please ensure access to your panel and the affected area. Our tech will call or text when en route. Thanks!”
