IA home at a St. Petersburg office

After a storm the board fills in hours. IA home answers every call, sorts active leaks from inspections and asks for photos for insurance.

It never takes card numbers on the phone: it texts a secure payment link instead, and it never promises a price outside your list.

What a call looks like with IA home

The morning after a storm in St. Petersburg, forty calls arrive in two hours. IA home answers each one, separates active leaks from routine checks and builds the day on the dispatch board before the office opens.

The hidden cost of voicemail in St. Petersburg

Industry estimates for a small HVAC or plumbing company in peak season.

Per call

answering services charge

And they do not know your prices, zones or emergency rules.

1 person

who speaks Spanish

Spanish-speaking customers wait for the one bilingual person, or call someone else.

$300–1,500

lost per missed service call

A repair or replacement lead that reaches voicemail is booked by the next company.

~30%

of calls go unanswered at peak

How IA home works

Three steps, every call, all year.

Answers

Every call on the first ring, 24/7, in English or Spanish. It introduces itself as your company's AI assistant and says the call may be recorded.

Triages & books

It applies your emergency rules, books visits on the board, quotes from your list and requests photos of the unit or the leak.

Files it for your team

Summary, transcript, customer, visit and job details land on the dispatch board. Your office only sees what needs a human.
