The Missed Calls Cost Contractors Thousands

27%

Emergency Furnace & Water Heater Calls Go Unanswered During Peak Hours

Field technicians are often on-site during critical hours—midday or late afternoon—when a homeowner calls about a frozen pipe or a failed furnace in winter. With 27% of inbound calls going unanswered, especially during high-demand seasons like December and January, your team misses urgent diagnostic & service opportunities. A missed emergency call for a furnace replacement during a cold snap can result in a $1,200+ lost job, not just in immediate revenue but in long-term customer trust and referrals.

40%

Weekend & After-Hours Maintenance Contract Renewals Lost to Competitors

Over 40% of weekend calls go unanswered—when homeowners are most likely to schedule preventive maintenance or renew their annual maintenance contracts. Without a live answer, callers hang up and go to competitors who can respond instantly. For a General Contractor managing 150+ maintenance contracts, missing just 10 weekend calls could mean losing $15,000 in recurring revenue annually.

$1,200

Lost Revenue from Unanswered Emergency Service Calls During High-Volume Seasons

During peak seasons—spring for roof inspections, fall for HVAC tune-ups, winter for emergency heating repairs—call volume spikes. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never calling back, and only 2% leaving messages, your business loses critical leads. A single missed call for a water heater repair during a winter storm could cost $1,200 in lost revenue, not including the $300+ in potential upsell from a full system replacement.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture More Leads 24/7

An AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, even at 2 a.m. during a power outage or frozen pipe emergency. It captures the caller’s issue—e.g., 'My furnace isn’t turning on'—and instantly books a same-day diagnostic & service appointment with the nearest field technician. In one case, a General Contractor in Minnesota captured 12 emergency furnace replacements in a single January week that would have been lost without AI call handling.

Automated Appointment Booking

Real-time calendar sync ensures no double-booking of field technicians. When a homeowner calls about a water heater repair, the AI checks technician availability, confirms the appointment, and sends the full job context—including past service history and warranty status—directly to the technician’s mobile app. This reduces scheduling errors by 90% and increases job conversion rate from lead to scheduled service by 38%.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Privacy

Enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256-GCM) protects sensitive customer data—like home addresses, insurance details, and service history—during high-volume call spikes. This is critical during storm season when 200+ calls can come in within 48 hours. All data is stored securely and compliant with HIPAA and GDPR standards, ensuring your business maintains trust and avoids liability.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We had a field tech in the middle of a basement flood mitigation job when a homeowner called at 7:15 p.m. about a burst pipe. Our old system sent it to voicemail. With Answrr, the AI answered instantly, confirmed the emergency, booked a same-day repair, and sent the technician the full job details—including that the home had a 10-year-old water heater that needed replacement. We closed the job and upsold a full plumbing upgrade. That one call brought in $2,800 in revenue. We’ve since captured 47 emergency calls in Q1 alone that we’d have missed before.”

“Before Answrr, I’d check voicemail every morning and lose 30% of weekend leads. Now, when a homeowner calls at 10 p.m. about a leaking roof after a storm, the AI asks key diagnostic questions—'Is water coming from the attic?' 'Is it a slow drip or a gush?'—then books a same-day inspection with a certified roofing technician. We’ve increased our weekend job conversion rate from 22% to 68% in just six months.”

“Last December, a client called at 1:47 a.m. with a furnace failure during a 20-degree night. Our team was off-duty. Answrr answered, confirmed the emergency, and dispatched a technician within 20 minutes. The job was completed by 6 a.m., and the client left a 5-star review. We’ve since used the same system to capture 18 emergency furnace replacements and 9 water heater repairs during off-hours—saving us over $62,000 in potential lost jobs.”
