The Lost Leads from Unanswered Calls
Missed Emergency HVAC & Furnace Replacement Calls After Hours
General contractors frequently miss critical emergency calls during nights, weekends, and peak service windows—especially for urgent furnace replacements or HVAC repair emergencies. With 27% of inbound calls going unanswered and 40% of weekend calls lost, your business risks losing high-value leads from homeowners facing freezing winter conditions or burst water heaters. These missed calls aren’t just inconveniences—they represent lost revenue on high-margin diagnostic & service jobs that could have secured a $3,500+ furnace replacement contract.
Field Technicians Unable to Answer Calls Mid-Job
When a field technician is deep in a complex water heater repair or structural assessment, they’re physically unable to answer the phone. Yet, 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return, especially when they’re dealing with a leaking basement or a non-functional furnace. This creates a critical gap in lead capture during peak service windows, allowing competitors to step in and book the job—often with less experience but better availability.
Front Desk Overwhelmed During Peak Season
During winter months, general contractors see a 300% spike in emergency service call volume. With multiple field technicians on-site and front desk staff juggling scheduling, billing, and customer follow-ups, it’s common for 2–3 calls per hour to go unanswered. This results in missed opportunities for diagnostic & service follow-ups, delayed furnace replacement bookings, and frustrated customers who abandon the call after hearing silence.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead
Capture every lead with AI that handles emergency HVAC calls, furnace replacement inquiries, and water heater repair requests—even at 2:00 a.m. on a Sunday. The AI captures full lead details, including issue type, location, urgency, and service history, then instantly routes high-priority calls to your team with context. One contractor reported a 31% increase in booked emergency service calls within 30 days of implementation, including 12 furnace replacements booked after hours.
Save on Staffing Costs
Replace a $4,500/month part-time receptionist with an AI voice agent for just $99/month. The AI handles 150+ inbound calls per month, schedules diagnostic & service appointments, confirms job details with customers, and logs all interactions into your CRM. One general contracting firm in Ohio reduced staffing costs by $48,000 annually while increasing lead capture by 37%—especially during weekend emergency service spikes.
24/7 Availability, No Downtime
Ensure 24/7 availability with AI that never sleeps—handling weekend calls, lunch breaks, and after-hours emergencies. The system identifies urgent issues like burst pipes or no heat in winter, prioritizes them, and alerts your field technician with full context: location, service history, and customer preferences. One contractor in Minnesota used the AI to book 18 emergency furnace replacements during a January snowstorm—jobs that would have been lost without immediate response.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last winter, we lost three furnace replacement leads because our office was closed and the phones were ringing unanswered. After switching to Answrr, we captured every after-hours call—especially during a 48-hour freeze. The AI even reminded customers of their last service date and scheduled a diagnostic & service appointment. In just two months, we booked 11 emergency furnace replacements we would’ve otherwise lost. It’s like having a dedicated front-line team on call 24/7.”

“I’m on-site at three jobs a day—sometimes knee-deep in a basement water heater repair. Before Answrr, I’d miss 2–3 calls per week. Now, the AI answers every call, confirms the issue (like a leaking tank or no hot water), and sends me a real-time alert with the customer’s address and past service history. I’ve booked 8 emergency water heater repairs in the last 60 days—none of which would’ve happened without the AI.”

“Our lead capture rate jumped from 42% to 73% after implementing Answrr. The AI doesn’t just answer calls—it asks qualifying questions: ‘Is your furnace completely off?’ ‘Are you experiencing water pooling?’ Then it routes urgent calls to us with full context. We’ve reduced repeat questions by 65% and now close 30% more diagnostic & service jobs because we’re already prepared when we call back.”
