Ask BONBON (formerly Ask NETA) is the AI assistant built for electricians. Get instant National Electrical Code (NEC) answers, blueprint analysis, inspection reports on your work photos, and a full set of electrical calculators, right on the jobsite.
Whether you are an apprentice, journeyman, master electrician, inspector, contractor, or solar installer, Ask BONBON turns code questions into clear answers in seconds.
NEW: UPLOADS, FROM BLUEPRINT TO PLAN OVERVIEW
Included with BONBON Plus. Upload electrical blueprints as PDFs or photos and ask questions about your own plans. BONBON reads the plan set and builds a Plan Overview of the whole job:
- Square footage and suggested main panel size
- NEC 220 load calculation summary
- Suggested subpanels and circuit counts
- Counts of recessed lights, receptacles, smoke and combo detectors, sconces, and LED strips
- A rough materials list to kick off your estimate
Every number is labeled as counted from the plans or estimated, so you always know what to verify. Save the overview as a PDF, print it, or share it with your crew with a link.
NEW: INSPECTION REPORTS FROM YOUR PHOTOS
Also included with BONBON Plus. Upload photos of your rough-in or finished work and get an Inspection Report: an approval rating and findings checked against the NEC, so you can fix issues before the inspector shows up. Or just ask a question about the photo.
INSTANT NEC ANSWERS
Stop flipping through the code book. Ask any electrical question, like "What are the grounding requirements for a detached garage subpanel?" and get the exact NEC reference with a plain language explanation.
SMART TROUBLESHOOTING
Describe the problem and BONBON helps you diagnose issues, identify components, and find code-compliant fixes faster. With Plus, add a photo of the install.
ELECTRICAL CALCULATORS
Conduit fill, voltage drop, box fill, wire sizing, load calculations, conduit bending, motor circuits, grounding and bonding, solar, and more.
PASS INSPECTIONS THE FIRST TIME
Verify your work against the code before the inspector shows up. Fewer callbacks, fewer red tags.
LEARN ON THE JOB
BONBON does not just give you the answer, it explains the why behind the code, so every question makes you a better electrician.
MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT
Ask in Spanish, French, or another language and BONBON answers in that language, so the whole crew stays on the same page.
QUESTIONS ELECTRICIANS ASK BONBON EVERY DAY
- What size wire do I need for a 60 amp subpanel?
- How many receptacles can I put on a 20 amp circuit?

Thanks for the review! Saving time is one of the biggest advantages of using Ask BONBON!
Not necessarily free anymore
New user 445674
The app required me to create a new account and now I see that the “free” subscription is very limited, 1 question every 4 hours. Not necessarily free. Although I understand they would want to make money, continued 100% “free” for life is really a far reach. I don’t necessarily use the data enough to justify the price, and when I do, I can still fairly easily find the answer just searching the guidance or google. The app is good, but perhaps for some people who may just be harder to find the answers it may be worth paying their $9+ monthly price for the convenience; great app but a bit steep I think. Downgraded the rating for saying it’s “free for life”.I wish you the best.
Developer Response
You are absolutely correct. We just had a meeting, and we will be submitting an update very soon. All Free/Basic users will have unlimited questions/chats, always, all the time. Please let us know if there is anything else we should change. If you feel we've resolved your concern and would like to update your review, we would appreciate it!

Great App. I’m use it many times at work. I like the way it responds. I tried a few Apps for as a resource for electronic work, but none are as good as this one.

Thanks for the review, glad it helps you with your work!
Set limit on questions
Fh icbwosbgro
The app works great but they have a set limit on questions of like 4 a day, there’s a review on here from October nearly a year ago where the dev replied and said they would change it but it doesn’t seem so
Developer Response
Hi and thanks for the review. Because of the overwhelming number of users that we have been getting we are unable to provide more free usage at this time as we aim to be able to give everyone we can access to free usage with the app. As we scale and things change, we look forward to increasing that usage, stay tuned! Please email info@askbonbon.com with your account email and we will upgrade/extend your subscription for 1 month on us, just mention this post!
