The Cost of Missed Calls for Contractors
Emergency Calls Go Unanswered During Critical Jobsite Windows
When a furnace fails at 2 a.m. during winter, homeowners expect immediate response—especially during peak heating season. Yet, 27% of after-hours calls go unanswered (Invoca), leaving your team unable to secure emergency repair jobs. This isn’t just lost revenue—it’s missed opportunities to win high-margin furnace replacement contracts, especially when homeowners are already in crisis mode and more likely to choose the first available contractor. With weekend missed call rates exceeding 40%, you’re losing emergency leads at the very moment they’re most urgent and profitable.
Staff Overloaded on Jobsite with No Time to Answer the Phone
Your crew is on a roof installing a new HVAC unit at 10 a.m. or troubleshooting a water heater leak in a basement—hands full, safety gear on, and no time to answer the phone. Yet, 30–40% of service calls come after hours or during peak jobsite activity (Dinan Company), and when the phone rings, it’s often a homeowner with a burst pipe, a failing water heater, or a maintenance contract renewal. Without an after-hours answering system, your team can’t respond in time, and leads slip through the cracks—especially during critical windows when you could’ve scheduled a diagnostic & service visit or upsold a maintenance contract.
Lost Revenue from Voicemail Overflow and Unconverted Leads
Less than 3% of callers who reach voicemail actually leave a message (Invoca), and 85% of those who do never call back (CallFlow Labs). For General Contractors, this means every missed call during a weekend storm or a weekday evening is a lost $300–$1,200 opportunity—especially for high-ticket jobs like furnace replacement, full-home electrical upgrades, or emergency roof repairs. Without a system to capture and convert these leads, you’re not just losing calls—you’re losing jobs, revenue, and customer trust.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Book More Jobs from After-Hours Calls
Turn after-hours emergency calls into booked appointments within 15 minutes—no matter the time. For example, when a homeowner calls at 11:30 p.m. about a flooded basement, our AI receptionist confirms the issue, schedules a diagnostic & service visit for the next morning, and even checks if they’re on a maintenance contract. In one case, a contractor booked a $4,200 water heater repair and a $1,800 maintenance contract from a single after-hours lead that would’ve otherwise gone to voicemail.
Never Miss a Lead During Peak Hours
During morning rush or lunch breaks, your AI receptionist handles 10+ simultaneous calls—answering inquiries about maintenance contracts, scheduling furnace replacements, and qualifying emergency repair leads—so your team stays focused on the jobsite. One contractor reported a 40% increase in lead conversion during peak hours after implementing the system, with 22 new jobs booked in just one month from after-hours leads that were previously missed.
Professional Image, Even When You’re Busy
Present a professional, consistent image even when you’re on a jobsite. Our AI receptionist uses natural-sounding, human-like voice with industry-specific phrasing—asking about the type of HVAC system, water heater model, or whether they’re due for a maintenance contract. Clients feel heard and valued, not like they’re talking to a machine. One contractor noted that 68% of after-hours callers who spoke with the AI said they’d recommend the business—compared to just 22% before.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“I was on a roof in the middle of a storm last winter, replacing a leaking skylight, when a homeowner called at 9:45 p.m. about a furnace failure. My phone was in my tool belt, and I couldn’t answer. Answrr picked up, confirmed the emergency, scheduled a 7 a.m. diagnostic & service visit, and even asked if they were on a maintenance contract—turns out they were overdue. I showed up with a full plan, closed the job, and upsold a furnace replacement. That single call brought in $5,800 in revenue. I’d have missed it otherwise.”

“Our team is always on a jobsite—sometimes 30 minutes from the next location. Before Answrr, we were missing 35% of after-hours calls. Now, every lead gets a response within 2 minutes. In the past quarter, we booked 14 new maintenance contracts and 8 emergency repairs from leads we’d have lost. The AI even asks about previous work—like if they had a water heater installed last year—so we can cross-sell. It’s like having a second field rep.”

“I used to scribble notes on a clipboard during jobs, but they’d get lost or misread. Now, Answrr sends me a full transcript and AI summary—like 'Homeowner reports no heat, furnace is 12 years old, asks about maintenance contract.' I know exactly what to bring to the site: a new thermostat, a filter, and a quote for a furnace replacement. It’s saved me at least 30 minutes per job on prep time. And I’ve booked 5 follow-up jobs from those initial calls.”
