A holiday weekend and a gas smell
It is Saturday night of a holiday weekend, and a family in Elizabeth smells gas near the furnace. They call from home off Newark Avenue. If nobody picks up fast, they dial the next company. With Clara, the call is answered at once, the family is told to leave the house and call 911 or the gas company from outside, and the call is flagged urgent. You get a phone alert right away and can take the call if needed. The same pattern applies to customers in Linden, Roselle, Roselle Park or Newark, about 6 to 7 km away, who also call when the AC fails in midsummer.
Older homes, older systems, urgent calls
Most homes in Elizabeth are old: the median year built is 1957, and only 25.6% of homes are owner-occupied. That means many renters with furnaces and AC units that have years on them, and they depend on a landlord to get repairs done. Clara asks for the system type (furnace, heat pump, central AC or mini-split) and its approximate age, so the technician arrives prepared. If a baby, an elderly person or someone sick is at home, the call is marked urgent.
