Know which emergency power leads are worth a site walk
Ask every enquiry what type of emergency power work they need, whether the building is currently without backup capability, and how soon it must start, then collect panel photos and generator specs before the lead reaches your CRM.
The exact intake your emergency power systems leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Emergency Power Systems — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified emergency power systems lead should tell you
Installation, repair, upgrade, or inspection of backup generators, transfer switches, and emergency electrical systems that keep a commercial building powered during an outage.
- Emergency Power Work
- Type Building Or Facility
- Building Without Emergency Power
- Soon This Work Begin
- Property Owner Or Authorized
- Approximate Size Or Scope
The questions your team needs answered
Every emergency power systems intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of emergency power work do you need? | Knowing whether it's a new install, repair, inspection, or upgrade tells the team which crew and lead time to allocate before scheduling. |
| What is the type of building or facility? | Facility type changes which code requirements and level of urgency apply, especially for healthcare buildings. |
| Is the building currently without emergency power capability? | This is the strongest urgency signal, distinguishing an active life-safety gap from a routine or planned upgrade. |
| How soon do you need this work to begin? | Separates same-day outage response from long-cycle, planning-stage enquiries that don't need immediate dispatch. |
| Are you the property owner or an authorized representative able to approve this work? | Confirms the requester can actually approve a contract before a site walk gets booked on their behalf. |
| What is the approximate size or scope of the facility needing power? | Facility size helps size the crew and equipment needed, avoiding an estimate for a project outside your capacity. |

Built for emergency power systems workflows
| Cliont capability | Emergency Power Systems application |
|---|---|
| Automated lead scoring | Combines the 'no backup power' answer with an 'immediately' timeline to flag active-outage leads as High Priority before the office opens the enquiry. |
| Approval-authority gate | Flags leads where the requester isn't the owner or authorized representative, so a site walk isn't booked until decision-making authority is confirmed. |
| Facility-type routing | Routes healthcare facility enquiries differently from office or industrial leads, since backup power requirements differ by building type. |
| Guided photo/document capture | Collects panel photos and generator spec sheets tied to the reported facility size, so the estimator arrives at the site walk with the right context. |
Common emergency power systems lead scenarios
Active outage, no backup power
The building has no functioning emergency power and the requester needs work to start immediately, so the intake flags it as High Priority for same-day contact.
New system, still in planning
An owner wants a new emergency power installation but the timeline is still in the planning stage, so it scores as high-value but routes to a standard follow-up rather than urgent dispatch.
Requester isn't the decision-maker
A tenant or facilities staffer submits the enquiry but isn't the owner or an authorized representative, so the intake surfaces this before a site walk gets booked.
Compliance testing at a healthcare facility
A hospital or clinic needs inspection or testing of an existing system, and the facility-type answer routes it to staff familiar with healthcare backup-power requirements.

Emergency Power Systems lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate an active power outage from a planned upgrade?
The timeline question captures whether work needs to start immediately due to an active outage, versus within weeks, months, or still in planning, and combined with the yes/no on current backup capability, this drives the urgency score.
Can the intake tell if the person filling it out can actually approve the work?
Yes, one question asks directly whether the respondent is the property owner or an authorized representative able to approve the work, which flags leads that need an approval check before a site walk is scheduled.
How are healthcare facilities handled differently from office buildings?
The facility-type question captures whether the building is a hospital, office, industrial site, retail space, or multifamily property, so you can route or prioritize leads according to the different requirements each type carries.
What if a lead says 'not sure' about the type of work they need?
That answer still carries a meaningful score, since a caller who knows they need emergency power help but not the specific work type is often a genuine near-term opportunity, and the site walk becomes the discovery step.
Does the intake ask about facility size before I quote?
Yes, a single-tenant floor, whole building, or multi-building campus are all separate answer options, which helps you avoid preparing an estimate for a project outside the scope you can take on.
