AI receptionist for home services?
An AI receptionist for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies answers every call while your crew is on the job — emergency dispatch, new service and estimate requests, and technician ETA calls. Deptly runs it as a fully managed service with human oversight, trained on your business. It triages urgency, books into your dispatch windows, and answers nights and weekends, when the emergencies happen.
The Front Desk Reality
The calls that slip through when there aren’t enough hands at the front desk.
- The crew is on jobs and the office is one person. The phone rings, rolls to voicemail, and a competitor picks up the job you just lost.
- Emergency calls come in at 9pm and on weekends — the exact high-margin work you want most — and go unanswered.
- Booking is chaotic. Addresses and issue details get lost, and techs show up to jobs underprepared for what they'll find.
- Maintenance-plan renewals and seasonal tune-up rebooking slip through the cracks, leaving recurring revenue on the table.
How Deptly’s AI Receptionist Helps
Deptly's Front Desk department is your company's AI receptionist, run as a fully managed service with human oversight. During onboarding it learns your service area, your trades and equipment, your dispatch windows, and how you triage emergencies. From then on it answers every call while your crew is on the job — capturing the address, equipment, and issue, booking into your dispatch schedule without double-booking, handling technician ETA and reschedule calls, and prioritizing true emergencies against instructions you set. Custom quotes and anything outside its script route to you. Running 24/7, it catches the after-hours emergencies that are your highest-margin work.
It’s all delivered through Deptly’s managed Front Desk department. New to how AI receptionists work? Read the small-business AI receptionist guide.
