AI is no longer the future of electricians, it’s happening now.

In this episode of The Million Dollar Electrician, Eddie Cruz and Edward Rivera, co-owners of Ion Electrical reveal how:

  • A customer found them through ChatGPT
  • They use AI to improve speed, accuracy, and customer experience
  • They’re adapting to solar incentive cuts without slowing down
  • They landed one of the largest residential battery installs in New Hampshire

This isn’t theory.

This is what scaling electricians are doing in 2026.

⚡ AI in electrical business

⚡ Recruiting and hiring 

⚡ Solar and battery positioning 

⚡ Marketing for the AI search era
