AI receptionist for home-service businesses
Never miss another service call — even when you're on the job
EchoAnswers answers every call 24/7 in English and Spanish, books the job, and flags emergencies — so the customer who can't reach you doesn't just call the next contractor. Flat $99/month. Call the demo and hear it.
For a home-service business, the phone is the business. But you can't answer it with your hands in a panel, on a ladder, or at 9pm — and that's exactly when customers call. An AI receptionist answers those calls for you: it picks up 24/7, talks the caller through it in English or Spanish, books the job on your calendar, and flags the emergencies so you hear about them right away. EchoAnswers does all of that on the number you already have, for a flat $99/month.
Why home-service businesses lose jobs to voicemail
A homeowner with a dead AC, a leaking water heater, or a tripped panel isn't going to wait. They call, and if they hit voicemail or a long ring, most of them hang up and dial the next company on Google. The job — and often the repeat customer behind it — goes to whoever picked up.
It's not a staffing problem you can fix by trying harder. You're already busy doing the work that pays. The fix is a line that simply answers every call, gets the details, and books the job, whether you're free or not.
Curious what those unanswered calls are actually costing you? Most trades are surprised.

It works like a great front-desk receptionist who never clocks out:
- Answers 24/7 — nights, weekends, and while you're mid-job — in English or Spanish.
- Books the job on your calendar and captures what you need to show up ready: name, callback number, address, and the problem.
- Flags emergencies (no heat, no power, an active leak) and alerts you in real time, transferring the truly urgent ones with the context already gathered.
- Answers your common questions — service area, hours, "do you charge for estimates," "how soon can someone come out."
- Emails you a summary of every call with the details and any action items, plus a daily digest, so nothing slips.
- Remembers repeat callers, so a returning customer doesn't start from scratch.

Bilingual for your Spanish-speaking customers
In markets like Arizona, a large share of home-service customers prefer to call in Spanish. EchoAnswers answers in English or Spanish and switches between them in the same call — no separate line, no "press 2 for Spanish," and no upcharge. Every caller gets booked in the language they're comfortable in, which is jobs you'd otherwise lose at "hello."
Live the same day, on the number you already use
There's nothing to install and no hardware to buy. You paste your website, answer a short interview about your business and hours, and preview the receptionist — you can even have it call your phone before it goes live. Then you forward your line, and it starts answering. Most owners are live the same day, keep their own number, and can cancel anytime.
It's one flat price: $99/month, 600 call minutes included, then $0.50 per additional minute (itemized on every invoice). No setup fees, no contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee. For most trades, a single booked job covers the month.
How do I know it's any good before I pay?
You don't have to take our word for it — call the live demo line right now and put it to work. Ask it to book a service call, switch to Spanish mid-sentence, or throw an "my AC died and it's 110 out" emergency at it. That's the same receptionist your customers would reach.
We won't pretend it's a human — it's an AI, and it says so at the start of every call. What it does do is answer every call, in both languages, so fewer jobs slip away.
Frequently asked questions
Can an AI receptionist answer calls for my home-service business after hours?
Yes. It answers 24/7 — nights, weekends, and while you're on a job — so a 9pm "broken AC" call reaches a real conversation instead of voicemail. It captures the details, books the appointment, and emails you a summary so the lead is waiting for you, not gone to the next company.
Will it book and schedule jobs, or just take a message?
It books. From day one it can schedule on your calendar and collect name, callback number, address, and the problem — it's a receptionist that turns a call into a booked job, not just an answering machine.
What happens on emergency calls like no heat, no power, or a water leak?
You can have it flag urgent calls, alert you in real time, and transfer the truly urgent ones to you or your on-call tech with the context already gathered — handled differently from a routine quote request.
Does it answer Spanish-speaking customers?
Yes. It answers in English or Spanish and switches mid-call at no extra cost — which matters in markets like Arizona. No separate line, no "press 2," no per-language fee.
What does it cost?
$99/month flat: 600 call minutes included, then $0.50 per additional minute, itemized on every invoice. No setup fees, no contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee. One booked job usually pays for the month.
Do I have to change my number or buy equipment?
No. It works with the phone and number you already have through call forwarding — nothing to install. You keep your number and can cancel anytime.
