Emergency triage rules
"Gas smell" gets a 911 advisory and a callback. "No cool with a baby" pages the on call tech. "Warm air in November" is a routine booking. A generic agent books all three the same way.
We answer emergency and after-hours HVAC calls so you stop losing booked jobs.
Three real calls we handled. Daytime repair, after hours quote, late night emergency. Play the audio. Decide if your customers would notice.
"Thanks for calling Northwind HVAC. This is Mike. Can I help you today?"
"Hi, Mike. I wanna know if it's possible to send somebody over today. The AC stopped working."
"I'm sorry to hear that your AC isn't working. Just to clarify, when did the issue start? And do you have any other details about the problem?"
"Yeah. It started around 1 hour ago. It's not turning on. I tried to fix it by myself, but I can't."
"Got it. So your AC has completely stopped working. Let's get a tech over to you as soon as possible. Could I have your first and last name, please?"
"Yeah. Of course. It's John Hernandez."
"Thank you, John. What's the address where the tech should come? Please include the street, city, and ZIP."
"It's 1428 Oak Street. It's in Phoenix, and the ZIP code is 85044."
"Just to confirm, that's 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix 85044."
"Correct."
"Thanks, John. And what's the best phone number to reach you at?"
"You can use this phone number that I'm calling from if possible."
"Got it. 555 to 123 to 4567. One more thing, can you tell me what type of AC you have? Like, is it a central AC, a heat pump, or mini split? If you don't know, no problem at all, the tech can check on site."
"Yeah. It's a central AC."
"Thanks for that. I'm pulling up availability now. Okay, I can get a tech to you later today between 5 and 7 PM, or tomorrow morning between 9 and 11. Which works better for you?"
"Yeah. Absolutely. Today. I need it today."
"Perfect. I have you booked for today between 5 and 7 PM at 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix 85044. You'll get a text confirmation in a few minutes, and the tech will text you their ETA when they're on the way. Anything else I can help with?"
"Perfect. No. That's everything. Thank you so much."
"Thanks for calling Northwind HVAC, John. We'll see you today. Take care."
"Alright. Take care. You too. Bye."
"Thanks for calling Northwind HVAC. This is, uh, Mike. How can I help you today?"
"Hi, Mike. I am wondering about the quotes and the new installations. How much would that be?"
"Hi there. Thanks for asking about that. For new equipment installations, we don't provide exact prices over the phone. But our comfort advisor can come out to your home and walk you through options at no charge. If you'd like, I can help you schedule that visit. Would you like to set up an appointment?"
"Yeah. Absolutely. I think tomorrow. What slots do you have for tomorrow?"
"Okay. Let me pull up the calendar and check our openings for tomorrow. Okay, I have 2 main options for you, tomorrow morning between 9 and 11, or tomorrow afternoon between 1 and 3. Which works better for you?"
"Uh, between 1 and 3."
"Great choice. Just to confirm, can I have your first and last name?"
"Yeah. John Hernandez."
"Thank you, John. And what's the service address where the installation will take place?"
"It will be at 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix, ZIP code 85044."
"Just to confirm, that's 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix, 85044."
"Yeah. Correct."
"Got it. And what's the best phone number to reach you at, John?"
"The one I'm coming from is fine."
"Got it. 555 to 123 to 4567. Does the home currently have any heating or cooling equipment that you want us to replace? Or is this a new installation in a place that's never had HVAC before?"
"It's a new installation."
"Thanks, John. I'll book you for tomorrow between 1 and 3 PM at 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix 85044, for the new installation walk through with our comfort advisor. You'll get a text confirmation in a few minutes, and the tech will text you their ETA the morning of. Anything else I can help with?"
"That's everything. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, John. Thanks for calling Northwind HVAC. We'll see you tomorrow. Take care."
"Thanks for calling Northwind HVAC. This is Sarah. How can I help you today?"
"Hi, Sarah. I hope you're well. Um, I have an emergency at home. My AC isn't working. It's very hot. I have a baby, so I need somebody to come see what's going on."
"I'm sorry to hear that, and I understand how urgent this is with your baby at home. Let me get a tech to you right away. Can I please have your full name and the address where the tech should come?"
"Of course. Full name is John Hernandez. The address is 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix. ZIP code 85044."
"Thanks, John. And the best phone number to reach you at?"
"The one I'm calling from."
"Got it. That's 555 to 123 to 4567. Just to confirm, the address is 1428 Oak Street, Phoenix 85044. Right?"
"Right."
"Thanks for confirming. Can you briefly describe what you've noticed with the AC? Is it not blowing any air, or just not cooling? Anything else you want me to note?"
"It's, yeah, sorry for interrupting you. It's just not cooling, I guess. It's not turning on."
"Okay. So your AC isn't turning on at all and you have a baby at home. I understand the urgency. I'm going to get our on call tech paged right now. One moment while I transfer you."
"Thanks."
"I just paged our on call tech. They'll call you within 15 minutes. If you don't hear from them, please call us back at 555 to 123 to 4567. Is there anything else I can help with while we wait for the tech to call you?"
"No. I think that's everything. Thank you so much."
"You're very welcome, John. Take care. And if you don't hear from the tech in 15 minutes, call us right back."
"Alright. Thank you."
On the demo we play 3 to 4 real recordings and walk through the prompt. Calm voice, real conversation, never sleeps.
Anyone can spin up an AI receptionist in a weekend. It will pick up. It will not know that "AC blowing warm" with a newborn at home is an emergency, that quoting install prices on the phone is an FTC issue, or that "no heat" in November ranks higher than "no heat" in May. Our agents ship knowing all of it.
"Gas smell" gets a 911 advisory and a callback. "No cool with a baby" pages the on call tech. "Warm air in November" is a routine booking. A generic agent books all three the same way.
Newborn, elderly, oxygen, medical, pregnant. Any flag escalates the call regardless of season, tightens the ETA, and triggers a specific reassurance line.
Diagnostic and tune up, quotable. Repair and install, never quoted on the phone, handed to the right tech or comfort advisor. Quoting the wrong thing turns into a complaint fast.
Knows your ZIP list. Out of area callers get a polite redirect, not a slot on the dispatch board that wastes a tech's morning. Your trucks stay in territory.
Central air, heat pump, mini split, packaged unit, R 22, R 410A, AFUE, furnace, air handler. The homeowner does not have to explain "the thing on the side of my house" three times.
Will not offer a slot that already passed. Will not book a 2 hour window 3 hours before end of day. Routes after hours work to the on call line, not the daytime calendar.

Honest math. Voltic Voice alone pays for itself when it recovers one service call per month. We run your real numbers live on the demo.
Most customers do not realize until you tell them. Natural voice, real conversation, your brand and vocabulary. On the demo we play real recordings so you can judge for yourself.
Yes. We train it on your emergency rules. "No heat", "no cool", "leak", "gas smell", "sparks". Routine calls go on the schedule. Urgent calls get a live transfer or instant page to the on call tech.
It never bluffs. If a question is outside the rules, it logs the question, takes a callback number, sets a clear expectation ("a tech will call you back within 30 minutes"), and pings your team.
Most contractors go live in 3 days. Day 1, discovery and prompt build. Day 2, voice tuning and CRM and calendar integration. Day 3, we shadow real calls before cutover.
No. It replaces voicemail. Most clients keep their full office team and use Voltic for overflow, after hours, or routine intake that burns out CSRs. Your team handles dispatch and customers. We handle the repetitive calls.
Yes. ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge, Workiz, Google Calendar, Outlook, Zapier, RingCentral, and most major softphones. Using something else? Ask. If we have not wired it, we will build it.
No. You keep your number. Voltic can be your primary answer, overflow only, or after hours only. No porting, no downtime, no risk.
You own everything. The agent in your voice AI account. The number in your phone account. The site on your hosting, on your domain. Source code is yours. Cancel the tuning retainer and the agent keeps running exactly as built. No lock in.
Voice AI runs roughly $0.05 to $0.10 per call minute. Phone provider adds about $0.01 per minute plus a few dollars per month for the number. A typical residential HVAC company runs $80 to $300 a month, billed direct to your card. Web hosting on Netlify or Cloudflare Pages is free at this scale.
Three reasons. Transparency. You see every call cost, no markup. Continuity. If anything happens to us, your phone keeps ringing. Compliance. Call recordings, customer data, and CRM access stay inside your walls.
No. Residential HVAC only, by design. The depth we deliver on emergency triage, equipment aware intake, refrigerant escalation, and surge handling takes focus. We would rather be the best in the world at one thing.
Residential HVAC contractors spend more on marketing every year and lose more of it to missed calls. Especially after hours and emergencies. We plug that leak. That is the whole company.
We say no to plumbers, electricians, and roofers. Same tech would work. The depth we deliver on residential HVAC dispatch, emergency triage, equipment aware intake, refrigerant escalation, surge handling, requires staying narrow. The niche is the moat.
Every build runs on your own infrastructure. Your domain, your voice AI account, your phone number. You see every cost. You own every login. If we ever part ways your phone keeps ringing the same. No lock in, no markup, no surprises.
