Know which commercial electrical leads are worth estimate time
Ask what type of commercial property it is, what electrical work is needed, and whether the site is currently without power or unsafe, then collect panel photos and authorization details before anything lands in your CRM.
The exact intake your commercial electrical leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Commercial Electrical — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified commercial electrical lead should tell you
Electrical installation, repair, panel upgrade, lighting, and code-compliance work performed on commercial properties such as offices, retail stores, warehouses, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings, rather than single-family residences.

The questions your team needs answered
Every commercial electrical intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of property needs electrical work? | The property type answer separates offices, retail, warehouses, and restaurants so the estimator knows what kind of commercial code and access requirements to expect before quoting. |
| What kind of electrical work do you need? | Panel upgrades and new installations are weighted higher than inspections or lighting fixes, letting bigger-ticket commercial work surface first in the CRM. |
| Is the property currently without power or facing an unsafe electrical condition? | A no-power or unsafe condition carries the highest weight in the catalog, distinguishing sites that need attention now from routine upgrade requests. |
| Are you the property owner or an authorized representative able to approve this work? | A no answer scores lowest on the intake, signaling the requester may not be able to sign off on the work and needs an ownership check before scheduling. |
| Is the business currently operating at this location? | Knowing whether the business is actively operating helps the estimator plan around occupied hours, foot traffic, or shutdown access at a commercial site. |
| Approximately how large is the property needing electrical work? | Property size gives the estimator a scale reference, since a sub-2,000-sq-ft retail unit and a 10,000-sq-ft warehouse call for very different crew and material planning. |

Built for commercial electrical workflows
| Cliont capability | Commercial Electrical application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Panel upgrades and new installations carry the highest weight of the work-type options, so those enquiries are automatically ranked above inspections or 'not sure' requests. |
| Authorization gating | The property owner/authorized representative question scores low when answered no, flagging leads that still need a sign-off confirmation before your team drives out for an estimate. |
| Conditional branching by property type | Selecting restaurant or food service versus warehouse or industrial can route different follow-up context so estimators see property-specific detail without extra manual questions. |
| Document and photo capture | Panel photos and authorization documentation are collected during the intake, giving estimators visual and legal context before scheduling a site visit. |
Common commercial electrical lead scenarios
Panel upgrade for growing business
An office or retail tenant outgrowing its current electrical capacity requests a panel upgrade, one of the highest-weighted work types in the catalog, so the intake pushes it toward the top of the queue.
Restaurant with no power
A restaurant reports it currently has no power or an unsafe electrical condition, the highest-weight answer on the intake, flagging the lead for same-day attention before an estimate is even scheduled.
Tenant can't approve the work
A tenant in a multi-unit commercial building fills out the form but isn't the property owner or an authorized representative, the lowest-weight answer on the authorization question, so the office knows to confirm sign-off before dispatching.
Large warehouse, unclear scope
A warehouse over 10,000 sq ft submits an enquiry marked 'Not sure' on the type of work needed, pairing a large-property signal with a lower-weight scope answer so the estimator knows to ask more before quoting.

Commercial Electrical lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake distinguish a commercial job from a residential one?
The first question asks what type of property needs the work, with options like office, retail store, warehouse, or restaurant, so every lead entering your CRM is already flagged as commercial before your team opens it.
What happens if the person submitting the form isn't authorized to approve the work?
The authorization question carries a low weight when answered no, so leads from tenants or staff without sign-off authority still get delivered but scored lower, letting your team confirm ownership before scheduling an estimate.
Does this intake handle a commercial site with no power, or does that go through a different form?
The commercial electrical intake includes its own no-power and unsafe-condition question with the highest weight in the catalog; sites needing after-hours or same-day dispatch may still be better served by the Emergency Electrical Repair intake.
Can the intake tell a small retail job apart from a large industrial one?
Yes, the property size question captures whether the site is under 2,000 sq ft, 2,000-10,000 sq ft, or over 10,000 sq ft, giving your estimator scale context before they ever call the lead back.
How is this different from your Electrical Panel Upgrade or Electrical Inspection intakes?
This intake starts from the property side, first identifying it as commercial and then asking what type of work is needed, including panel upgrades and inspections, so it can serve as the entry point for any commercial job rather than one narrow work type.
What if the business at the location isn't currently operating?
The intake asks directly whether the business is currently operating at the site, which helps your team plan access and scheduling around occupied versus vacant commercial spaces.
