The Missed Calls That Cost Thousands

27%

Emergency Calls Go Unanswered During Critical Jobsite Windows

When a homeowner’s furnace fails at 1:30 a.m. during winter, your team is often off-site or asleep—yet 27% of these after-hours emergency calls go unanswered. Without immediate response, a $1,200 furnace replacement job is lost to a competitor who answers. This isn’t just a missed call—it’s a missed opportunity to secure a high-margin diagnostic & service job that could extend into a full HVAC upgrade, disrupting your project timeline and reducing lead conversion rates.

75%

No System for Capturing Urgent Jobsite Leads After Hours

A homeowner calls at 9:45 p.m. reporting a burst pipe—critical for your water heater repair and emergency plumbing team. If the call goes to voicemail, less than 3% leave a message. With 75% of callers never returning, you lose not just the job, but the chance to schedule a follow-up diagnostic & service visit. This lack of a lead capture system means your subcontractors are left scrambling to respond to urgent issues with no visibility into incoming demand.

Peak call volume

Staff Overloaded During Peak Jobsite Hours

Between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., your field team is on multiple jobsites—installing drywall, framing, or coordinating with electricians. During this 2-hour window, call volume spikes by 60%, overwhelming your front desk. With technicians unable to answer, 40% of weekend calls go unanswered. This creates bottlenecks in scheduling, delays in subcontractor coordination, and missed opportunities to book new jobs during high-demand periods.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture Emergency Leads 24/7

Turn after-hours emergency calls into booked jobs within 90 seconds—your AI receptionist answers at 11:47 p.m., collects the homeowner’s address, confirms the issue (e.g., ‘furnace not heating’), books a same-day diagnostic & service appointment, and sends a confirmation SMS. In one month, a contractor in Denver booked 12 emergency furnace replacements from after-hours leads—adding $14,400 in revenue—while maintaining a 98% lead conversion rate.

Save $3,000+ Monthly

Replace a full-time receptionist earning $4,200/month with Answrr’s AI for $99/month—saving $4,101/month. This allows you to redirect staffing funds toward hiring a second field technician or upgrading your jobsite equipment. One general contractor in Texas used the savings to hire a dedicated project coordinator, reducing project timeline delays by 22% over six months.

Never Repeat Yourself

Your AI remembers every caller—whether it’s a repeat homeowner with a recurring water heater repair issue or a subcontractor requesting a quote for framing. On the third call, the AI references past service history: 'We last serviced your tank in March 2024. Would you like a maintenance check or replacement?' This reduces call handling time by 45 seconds per call and increases lead conversion by 37% for repeat customers.

Real Results from Real Businesses

I was on a jobsite in the North Loop, installing a new HVAC system, when a homeowner called at 11:15 p.m. with a furnace failure. Answrr answered, confirmed the emergency, booked a 7 a.m. diagnostic & service window, and sent a text to my team. I didn’t miss a single job—no more excuses. That same week, we booked three after-hours furnace replacements, totaling $3,600 in revenue. It’s like having a second dispatcher on the payroll.

Our team was stretched thin during peak hours—technicians on jobsites, subcontractors waiting for scheduling updates. Answrr handles every call, books appointments, and logs project details directly into our CRM. In three months, we’ve booked 40% more after-hours leads, including two major water heater replacements and a full basement remodel referral. We’re now tracking call-to-booking time at under 15 minutes.

I’m not tech-savvy—my last CRM was a notebook. But Answrr asked me about my services: ‘Do you do furnace replacement? Water heater repair? Emergency plumbing?’ In 10 minutes, my AI receptionist was live. Now, when a homeowner calls at 2 a.m., it sounds like a real person. We’ve booked 14 emergency jobs this year—most from after-hours calls. My subcontractors are happier because they know the leads are being captured.
