Agents are trained on your specific service types, pricing structure, and most common caller questions during onboarding. For anything beyond their training they collect the caller's information and urgency level and route it to the right person on your team. They never guess on technical details or give pricing information outside your approved parameters.

Yes. Appointments are created inside your scheduling platform in real time during the call. ServiceTitan, Jobber, HubSpot, and other standard field service management tools are all supported. The caller is confirmed and scheduled before they hang up. Your dispatcher sees the booking the moment it is created without any manual entry on your end.

Yes. Emergency dispatch is one of our core HVAC workflows. Agents are trained to identify emergency calls including no-cool situations, no-heat calls in winter, gas smell reports, and carbon monoxide concerns. Emergency calls are escalated immediately to your on-call tech with all call details captured before the transfer or notification goes out.

Most HVAC clients are fully onboarded and live within five to seven business days. That includes your discovery call, custom agent training on your specific call types, CRM integration, script approval, and a live test phase before we handle any real calls. For urgent peak-season coverage needs we can often move faster.
