AFTER-HOURS ANSWERING FOR HVAC CONTRACTORS

No-heat calls at 9 PM shouldn't go to voicemail.

Your customers call your number. ClearShift answers after hours, takes the details, and routes real emergencies to your on-call tech.

Thanks for calling Demo Heating and Cooling. I'm the company's automated assistant, and this call is recorded. How can I help?
Caller
Our furnace stopped working and it's getting cold in here. There's no heat at all.
AI
Sorry to hear that. Can I get your name, the service address and the best number to reach you?
Caller
Dana Brooks, 4100 West Sample Avenue, and this number is fine.
AI
Thanks, Dana. About how old is the furnace, and do you smell gas or have a CO alarm going off?
Caller
It's maybe twelve years old. No gas smell, no alarm.
AI
No heat is an emergency for us, so I'm putting you through to the on-call technician now. Please stay on the line.

When nobody picks up:They don’t leave a voicemail.They call the next shop on Google.
