AI call answering for HVAC, roofing and solar companies.

What to check

The parts of the decision, one at a time.

01

Why trade businesses lose calls

Technicians cannot answer from a roof, a loft or a van, and a caller with a leak or no heating usually rings the next company.

  • Calls arrive during jobs, after hours and in weather-driven spikes
  • Callers who reach voicemail often call a competitor
  • Enquiries from ads and forms go cold if nobody rings back quickly
02

What the agent asks and records

You write the questions for each type of job and the agent collects the answers during a normal conversation.

  • Name, phone number and address or area
  • The problem in the caller’s words: no heating, a leak, storm damage, a quote for solar panels
  • Whether it is an emergency, using the rules you set
  • A preferred time for a visit or callback, saved with the call
03

Emergencies and routine calls

The same agent treats a burst pipe differently from a quote request.

  • Emergencies: on phone calls it transfers to the on-call number you set
  • Routine: it books a visit in the Appointments calendar or records a callback
  • Questions: it answers from the service areas, hours and policies you approve
04

Calling leads back fast

Leads from ads, forms and lead sources can be pushed to Vistrow Voice by webhook, and a call to the lead is queued within about 15 to 30 seconds. Your calling window and Do-Not-Call list still apply.

  • Useful for roofing and solar enquiries, where speed to the first conversation matters
  • Qualifying questions are asked on the call and saved as fields
  • Records go to your CRM, Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook
  • Vistrow Voice does not generate leads; it answers and calls back the ones you already have
Decision rule

Answer first, then qualify.

A call picked up and a lead called back quickly are worth more than a perfect form. Use the agent to be first on the phone, and your team for the visit.

  • Transport and listening
  • Thinking and speaking
  • Recordings and transcripts
  • Analytics and CRM delivery
Know the categories

Four ways trade companies cover the phone.

The choice depends on how many calls you miss and how many need a person straight away.

01

Office staff and voicemail

Fits when: Small teams with a steady office day.

Trade-off: Field work and nights leave calls unanswered.

02

Live answering service

Fits when: Firms that want a person on every call.

Trade-off: Operators follow a script and may not know job types, areas or on-call rules.

03

AI answering and callback

Fits when: Routine calls and lead call-backs where speed matters.

Trade-off: Needs clear job questions and an emergency route.

04

AI first, dispatcher for urgent calls

Fits when: Firms with an on-call rota.

Trade-off: Needs a short test to agree what counts as an emergency.

Run a fair trial

Pilot it on one line in five steps.

  1. Step 1: List your job types, service areas and what counts as an emergency.
  2. Step 2: Set a transfer number for emergencies and your booking hours.
  3. Step 3: Route one line or your after-hours calls to the agent.
  4. Step 4: Send a few test leads by webhook and listen to the call-backs.
  5. Step 5: Review the transcripts for a week and widen when records arrive complete.
Before you decide

The questions buyers ask first.

What does it cost?

Usage is measured in minutes of conversation, and the voice and model you choose change how quickly minutes are used. Telephony is billed separately by the provider you connect.

How pricing works

How much setup is it?

No code. Set the persona, prompt, voice and language, test it in the browser, then publish. Later changes apply from the next call.

Create an agent

Can a person take over?

On phone calls the agent can dial in the colleague you set and stay on until they answer. Website calls take a callback request instead.

Functions and transfer

What if it does not know?

With strict mode on, it quotes your approved answers and says it will check with the team when something is not covered, rather than guessing.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The things people ask us most. If yours isn’t here, talk to us and a person will reply.

Ask us directly

Yes. It answers on your business number, takes the job details, sorts emergencies from routine calls and books a visit or records a callback. On phone calls it can transfer an emergency to your on-call number.

It does not find leads. It answers the calls you receive and can call back leads from ads or forms by webhook within about 15 to 30 seconds, ask your qualifying questions and save the answers.

Not today. It books into the Appointments calendar in Vistrow Voice, and records can be sent to Zoho CRM, ArthaLeads, Slack, Google Sheets or any webhook.

With the call window left blank on the number’s route, the agent answers at any time. Urgent calls can be transferred to your on-call number.

American and British English voices are set up with you on request. You connect a number from your own telephony provider over SIP, and overseas calling depends on that provider.
