Marietta, Georgia
AI answering for Marietta, where the city runs its own power and water.
Marietta is one of the few places in the metro where the city itself sells electricity and water. Marietta Power and Water describes itself as the largest municipal electric utility in Georgia, with more than 45,000 electric customers. For electricians, plumbers and HVAC shops, that changes what a no-power or no-water call means. Aplos Front Desk answers your line, captures the address, and keeps outage calls from waking your on-call tech. $199 a month plus a $349 launch fee.

Local detail
Our problem or the utility's?
The question every electrician and plumber in Marietta asks on the phone.
Marietta Power and Water is community-owned and dates to 1906. It serves more than 45,000 electric customers and about 17,000 water and sewer customers, by its own count. Outside its territory, Cobb County addresses are served by other utilities. For your shop, that means two different kinds of calls sound almost the same:
- The whole street is dark. That is usually a utility outage. Not your job tonight.
- Only my panel, and it is buzzing. That might be your job, and it might be dangerous.
Front Desk handles them differently. "No power" said with now or tonight is in the urgent rules and can ring your on-call number. Sparks or fire runs a fixed safety script before the AI is asked anything: leave the building and call 911 from outside. Everything else is written up with the address so your team can tell in the morning whether it was a utility area or a customer's house.
The AI does not tell callers which utility to call unless you approve that wording as one of your FAQs.
What you set up
Rules written for a Cobb County shop.
One number for urgent calls
Pick the number urgent calls ring. It rings for 25 seconds. If nobody answers, your summary arrives flagged URGENT.
An approved FAQ
For example: if your whole street is out, check with your power company first, and we will call you back in the morning.
Only what you publish
Trip charge, diagnostic fee, after-hours rate. Missing prices get: the team will confirm.
No promised times
The AI explains how scheduling works at your shop and never says a time is booked.
One email per call
Caller's name, address, issue, urgency and callback number, to confirm before dispatching.
Pricing
Three managed plans. One location each.
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Front Desk | $199/month + $349 launch | AI answers one business number: approved FAQs, three routing paths, qualification, owner summaries, missed-call response. 300 inbound AI minutes a month. Does not book on its own. |
| Follow-Up & Estimate Recovery | $199/month + $349 launch | Three-step text and email follow-up on new leads and open estimates. Stops on reply, booking, decline or opt-out. |
| Revenue Desk | $399/month + $699 launch | Both of the above plus one booking connection, tested for your setup before you buy. |
One location per plan. Calls and AI answering go live in 1–3 business days once setup is confirmed. Texts (missed-call text-back and follow-ups) start once your business’s carrier texting registration is approved, usually 2 to 3 weeks. Start free: the AI answers your calls free for 14 days while we file your texting registration. The launch fee and first month start on day 15. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. Month to month after that.

Questions
What owners ask first.
Will the AI wake me up for a Marietta Power outage?
Only if the caller says no power and now or tonight, which matches the urgent rule. You can approve an outage answer as an FAQ so callers hear it first. Every call is written up with the address either way.
What happens if a caller says their panel is sparking?
A fixed safety script runs before the AI: leave the building and call 911 from outside. The call is flagged SAFETY in your summary.
What does it cost?
Front Desk is $199 a month plus a $349 launch fee for one location. Revenue Desk is $399 a month plus $699 and adds estimate follow-up and one booking connection.
Can you meet in Marietta?
Yes. We are in metro Atlanta. Ask for an in-person setup call when you book.
Is the AI a person?
No. The greeting on every call says it is a virtual assistant.
