Why answering in the caller's language matters in Hillsboro

About 25.8% of Hillsboro residents are Hispanic, and 16.5% of people speak Spanish at home. Many of your heating and cooling calls can come in Spanish, and a caller who hears only English may simply hang up. Clara asks the caller which language they prefer at the start and stays in that language for the whole call, so you do not lose a job over the language barrier.

A normal day in Hillsboro: the AC runs but the house will not cool

Picture a Wednesday in July. The heat has built up all week, the AC has been running since morning, and the house still feels hot. A homeowner near Aloha calls while you are on a job in Oak Hills. Clara answers, asks what is wrong, whether it is a heat pump or central AC, roughly how old it is, and whether a baby or an elderly person is at home. Because a vulnerable person is in the house during extreme heat, Clara flags the call as urgent and books the earliest open slot on your calendar. She can also transfer the call to you right away. Clara reads the date and address back to the caller for confirmation, and you get a summary in your language in the built-in CRM.
