In heating and cooling, the phone is the business. Shops we talk to take roughly 40–80 calls a week and miss a quarter or more in peak season — after hours, on a rooftop, or already on a call. Each one is usually a same-day repair or a multi-thousand-dollar install going to whoever picks up first.

How the estimate works

We keep the math simple and show every assumption so you can adjust it to your business:

  • Missed calls per month = calls per week × the share you miss × about 4.3 weeks.
  • Lost customers = those missed calls × the share that would have become a customer (your close rate).
  • Lost revenue = lost customers × your average job value.

It’s deliberately conservative: it only counts callers who would have booked, not every ring. Change any number above and the estimate updates instantly. This is a sizing tool, not a guarantee.

What it would take to stop the leak

You don’t need to hire a receptionist or answer the phone at midnight. EchoAnswers picks up every call you can’t — after hours, on a job, or when the line’s busy — books appointments, answers your common questions, and emails you a summary of each call. It works on the number you already have through call forwarding, with nothing to install.

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, and you keep your own number.

Frequently asked questions

Why do HVAC companies miss so many calls?

Demand spikes with the weather and techs are on rooftops or under houses with no free hand. Emergency no-heat and no-AC calls come after hours and on weekends, exactly when the office is closed — so they go to the next company that answers.

What is one missed HVAC call really worth?

Often a same-day service call plus the repair or replacement behind it — frequently hundreds to several thousand dollars, and a customer who may stay for years of maintenance. The calculator above lets you put in your own ticket size.
