Lead capture, not legal advice
The AI captures requests and routes edge cases to you.

Example results are not guarantees. Revenue recovered depends on your call volume, local demand, service area, response time, and close rate. VoiceDepot answers calls and captures leads; you remain responsible for licensing, pricing, dispatch, and customer follow-up.

The math

HVAC shops miss 70% of calls during peak demand.

Average emergency AC call: $285–$650 service call. Average new system install: $3,800–$7,200. During a Phoenix heat wave, you get 40+ calls a day. Missing 28 of them = $8,400–$18,000 gone in a single day.

The AI answers before the third ring — 24/7, even at 2am when the furnace goes out. Pays for itself with the first captured emergency call.

Common questions

Smart questions HVAC owners ask.

Will it sound like a robot when a customer calls during an emergency?+

No. The AI uses a natural, calm, professional voice — confident under pressure. Most HVAC customers never know they're talking to AI. It answers: 'Thank you for calling [Your Business], this is [Name] — is this a service emergency?' It handles urgency exactly the way you'd want a trained CSR to.

What happens on an emergency call — burst AC, no heat at 2am?+

The AI captures the urgency immediately: 'Sounds like an emergency — let me get your address and contact info right now and have a tech call you back within [your set time].' It texts you instantly with the customer's name, number, address, and problem description. You call back, dispatch, done.

Can it handle seasonal overload — like when 40 calls come in during a heat wave?+

That's exactly what it's built for. It answers every call simultaneously — no queue, no hold, no missed call. Every caller gets a live answer. You get a text for each one. During peak demand is when VoiceDepot pays for itself 10x over.

What about service contract renewal calls and tune-up reminders?+

Right now the AI handles inbound calls only � it answers, captures leads, and texts you instantly. Follow-up sequences can text no-shows and renewal opportunities where configured.

How does it learn my service area, pricing zones, and what I install?+

During the 5-minute setup call, the AI asks: your business name, greeting, hours, and whether to promise a callback or just capture the lead. We also read your website to learn your services and brands (Carrier, Trane, Lennox, etc.). No manual scripting needed.

Do I need to change my existing phone number?+

No. You keep every number on your truck, website, and Google Business Profile. We give you a NEW AI number. Forward your calls to it when you're on a job: *72 → AI number → hang up when it answers. Turn off anytime: *73.

What's the cost?+

$99/month flat. 14-day free trial, no credit card. Just forward your calls. Lead texts and call answering included. Built for call spikes. High-volume plans available. Cancel anytime, 30-day money-back after trial.

How long does setup take?+

About 5 minutes. Submit your phone number, get a local AI number by text, call it to test the greeting, then forward your line when it sounds right.

Don't let the next heat wave cost you $50,000.
