Built for the trades
An AI receptionist that knows chimney and dryer vent work: what to ask before the truck moves, what not to quote over the phone, and what is an emergency versus a service call.
First cold night in October, everybody in town lights a fire, and half of them realise the flue has not been swept since they bought the house.
Your season is about eight weeks long and the phone rings through all eight of them, usually while you are on a roof.
A booked October is the year. Every missed call in October is a chimney somebody else swept.
The October sweep call ends with an October slot on your calendar, booked in the week everyone else stops answering.
$99
a month to start, 350 minutes, about 100 calls
A live answering service runs $180 to $600 a month and takes a message. This books the job. All three plans
Takes about a minute. We read your site and build an agent from what we find. No email. No card.
01 / What it knows about chimney and dryer vent work
02
The work
These come pre-selected when you set it up, because they are what chimney & dryer vent shops actually run. You uncheck what you do not do and add what is missing, once.
Anything it has not been told about, it says it does not know and writes the question on the call for you. It does not guess.
03
The call it has to get right
Most calls book a job. One kind of call requires something else. Here is what it does when that call comes in.
Example trigger
Caller says they smell smoke in the house or think they have a chimney fire
What it does (example)
It tells them to get everyone out of the house and call 9-1-1 from outside. It tells them not to open the damper and not to throw water on it. It schedules nothing until that is done, and it writes down what was said, marked an emergency in your call list.
This is an example of how the system is configured to respond. Exact behavior reflects your setup.
04
The question set
These are the intake questions built for chimney and dryer vent work. The same questions you would ask. They get asked on every call, in order, before anything is scheduled or priced.
What it will not quote
A liner or a rebuild
Liner and masonry price depends on flue height, flue size, and what the camera finds. It books the inspection and you quote from the footage instead of guessing.
It quotes your diagnostic fee ($99 default) and offers a window. Nothing else until a tech is on site.
05
