When the AC dies in July, homeowners call down the list until someone answers. Answered Line picks up every call to your HVAC company in one ring, books the service call, and texts you the details — while you're in the attic on the last one.
Don't take our word for it. Call it and try to stump it.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you. Then decide.$97/mo for your first 90 days, setup free, then $297. In return: a short testimonial, a 30-second phone video, and a Google review once it's booked you a job. After the three spots, the next seven get setup waived at $297.
Forward your existing line in two minutes. Your customers, your truck, your Google listing — nothing changes for them. Nothing goes to voicemail.
$297 a month, flat, line included. A human answering service runs $235–$325 and bills by the minute. A part-time receptionist is $1,300–$1,800. Nobody else books the job and texts you the summary.
Name, address, what they need, when — texted to you seconds after the call. You call back prepared, not guessing.
No more stopping the job to answer, no more evenings returning voicemails. The phone gets handled; you do the work you get paid for.
Peak-season HVAC calls come in bunches — exactly when your whole crew is on rooftops. Every one that hits voicemail is a service call that went to a competitor's truck.
Captures address, system type, and whether anyone's home; books the next slot or transfers to on-call, by your rules.
Answers from your pricing rule and pitches the maintenance plan if you want it to.
Knows your brands, service area, and hours.
Answered and routed. Nobody gets voicemail on the coldest night of the year.
Nights, weekends, while you're in an attic. Nobody gets voicemail.
Your services, hours, service area, and the eight questions you get asked every day.
Existing customer with a problem goes to the office. New quote goes to sales. Solicitors get screened.
Straight into your calendar, in the hours you set, with a confirmation text to the caller.
Name, number, address, what they wanted — seconds after the call ends.
Voice and text, first line of contact for your business. We can clone your voice so callers hear the owner, not a bot.
Forward your existing line in two minutes, or use ours as your business line.
Only about 38% of calls to small businesses get answered by a person. Of the callers who hit voicemail, most hang up without a message, 85% never call back, and 62% call a competitor next. Run your own numbers:
| Option | Monthly | What you actually get |
|---|---|---|
| A business phone line | $25–$35 | A number. It still rings to voicemail when you're on a ladder. |
| Answering service (human) | $235–$325+, billed per minute | A stranger reads a script, takes a message. No booking, no texting the caller, overage every busy month. |
| Part-time receptionist | $1,300–$1,800 | 20 hours a week. Nights, weekends, and lunch still go to voicemail. |
| Full-time receptionist | $4,000–$5,300 | Business hours only, plus payroll, benefits, sick days. |
| Answered Line | $297 | The line, 24/7 voice and text answering, booking, transfers, call summaries — in your own voice if you want. |
