Why answering in the caller's language matters in Houston
According to the Census, 44.2% of Houston residents are Hispanic and 37.2% speak Spanish at home. About 1 in 5 people speaks Spanish and has trouble with English on the phone. If that person calls because the AC is blowing warm air and hears an English-only recording, they may hang up and call the next company. Clara opens in English, asks the caller which language they prefer and continues in that language. You get the summary in your own language.
What the age of the homes means for your HVAC calls
The median year a home was built in Houston is 1982, so many air and heating systems have been running for decades. Older systems tend to fail during the hottest weeks of summer and the first cold snap, and the homeowner wants someone to answer right away. Clara asks what kind of system they have (furnace, heat pump, central AC or mini-split), roughly how old it is and whether a baby, an elderly person or someone sick is at home. With those details, you arrive at the visit knowing what to bring.
A normal day for an HVAC technician in Houston
It is a January night in Katy and the temperature has dropped. You are at home when a call comes in: the homeowner says the furnace stopped and her 84-year-old mother is alone in the living room. If you don't answer, she calls another company at 11 at night. With AquiVoz, Clara answers on the first ring, asks whether a vulnerable person is in the house, tells her to turn the thermostat off, marks the call urgent and transfers it to your phone. If you can't pick up, Clara books the first free slot for early morning. Meanwhile, a customer in Pearland with an AC that won't cool is waiting in the same queue.
