What a missed call costs a small HVAC company in Abilene

When a small HVAC company in Abilene does not pick up, the caller does not leave a message. They call the next company on their phone's list and the job is gone. In a market where most homeowners have another option one call away, every missed call is a visit that never reaches your schedule. For a small shop, losing one or two visits a week changes the whole month.

A normal day of calls in Abilene

Picture a holiday weekend in Abilene. A customer calls from near Buffalo Gap Road because there is a gas smell by the furnace. Clara tells them to leave the house, not to touch switches or the thermostat, and to call 911 or the gas company from outside. Once the person is safe, Clara keeps going: what is wrong, what kind of system it is, roughly how old it is, and whether a baby, an elderly person or someone sick is at home. The call is flagged urgent, the earliest open slot is offered, and if you ask, it is transferred to you on the spot. Without Clara, that call would have gone to voicemail.

What you get after every call

• A summary of the problem, translated into the language you choose
• The technician visit booked on your calendar, with date and address confirmed
• The caller's name and address verified
• An instant alert on your phone, or a transfer if the call is urgent
