Why Electrical is different
Generic review tools don't know that electrical customers care about your license number more than your tagline. They don't know that EV charger demand spreads block by block. And they don't know that panel-upgrade buyers spend weeks researching before they call. Electrical work is licensed, regulated, and trust-driven — your review system should be too.
Electrical buyers Google your license number before they call. Trailfire surfaces your verified license, NABCEP if applicable, and reviews mentioning credentials — front and center on every postcard, profile, and review reply. Where state-required, the license # is auto-included on every piece of mail.
When one home installs a Level 2 charger, the rest of the block starts pricing it out. Trailfire's neighborhood radius mailings around every install convert at 3-5% in electrical because the prospect already saw the truck and the equipment. Generic review tools can't trigger this; we built it in.
An emergency outlet repair converts to a review within hours. A whole-home panel upgrade takes days for the homeowner to mentally process. Trailfire times review requests by job type, not by a one-size-fits-all delay.

Built for the way electrical actually works
Service calls, panel upgrades, EV-charger installs each get the right review request, at the right time, with the right ask. One generic template doesn't fit a $200 troubleshoot and a $8K panel.
Every review is tagged with the electrician who ran the call. See which techs are driving 5-stars and which need coaching — before quarterly reviews, not after a 3-star drop.
Electrical customers worry about safety, fire, and unlicensed work. Trailfire surfaces ‘licensed and insured’ and master-electrician credentials in postcards and review responses so the trust signals land before the booking call.
