AI receptionist for plumbers, electricians and HVAC
A technician under a sink cannot answer the phone, and a customer with no heating calls the next number on the list. An AI receptionist replies to messages and website chats instantly, asks what is wrong and where, collects photos, offers the next free slot and sends real emergencies to whoever is on call. A simple bot starts at $350, an AI assistant at $600.

01What it does on every enquiry
- Finds out the problemLeak, no power, no heat, locked out: short questions in plain words.
- Checks the addressInside your coverage area or not, so you do not drive to the wrong town.
- Collects photosThe boiler label, the fuse box, the damaged lock.
- Offers a slotFrom your calendar, or sends the request for you to confirm.
- Sends you a summaryOne message with everything you need before you call back.
02Emergencies and safety
Gas smells, sparking sockets and flooding are not chat topics. For these the assistant gives your safety instructions, such as where to turn off the water or to call the gas emergency line, and alerts the person on call immediately.
It does not quote final prices or diagnose faults. If you publish a call-out fee or starting prices, it states them; everything else waits for the technician.
03Options and price
| Option | For | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed-question bot | One trade, a clear set of jobs | Bot from $350 |
| AI assistant | Several services, customers who describe problems their own way | AI assistant from $600 |
| Channels | Website chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, missed-call follow-up by message | Either tier |
04After the job
With the customer’s permission, the assistant can send a thank-you message with a link to leave a review and a reminder when a yearly service is due, such as a boiler check. That keeps the next job coming from people who already know you.
What we do not promise
- That it replaces a dispatcher on busy days: it filters and books, people decide.
- Safety advice beyond the instructions you approve.
- Quotes for a job it has not seen: prices come from you.
Frequently asked questions
Can an AI receptionist book jobs for my plumbing business?
Yes. It checks the address against your area, offers free slots from your calendar or sends a request for you to confirm.
What about emergency calls?
It gives your approved safety steps and alerts whoever is on call straight away. It never handles an emergency on its own.
Does it work with missed phone calls?
If your phone setup allows it, a missed call can trigger a message inviting the customer to continue by text with the assistant.
How much does it cost?
A bot with fixed questions starts at $350; an AI assistant that understands free-form messages starts at $600.
Can it connect to my job management software?
When the software allows connections, yes. Otherwise bookings arrive as messages with all the details.
