AI Receptionist for Home Services. Capture every repair call, 24/7.

An AI receptionist for home services is an intelligent voice assistant that answers phone calls 24/7 for handyman businesses, general contractors, and multi-trade service companies. It captures job details, detects emergencies, schedules appointments, routes calls to the right technician, and dispatches your team—all without human involvement.

Yes. AI receptionists are specifically trained to detect urgent home service situations such as water damage, electrical hazards, gas leaks, broken HVAC systems, and security issues. When an emergency is detected, the system automatically flags the call as high priority and sends instant alerts to on-call technicians via SMS, email, or WhatsApp.

The AI introduces itself professionally and focuses on helping the caller quickly. Most homeowners care more about fast, helpful assistance than whether the receptionist is human or AI. The experience is seamless, natural, and professional—many callers don't realize they're speaking with AI until the call is complete.

AI answering services provide instant responses without hold times, work 24/7 without breaks or sick days, cost 85-90% less than hiring staff, and maintain perfectly consistent quality. Traditional services are limited by staffing, training, availability, and often put callers on hold during busy periods—exactly when home emergencies happen most.

AgentZap integrates with popular field service software including Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Kickserv, and more. This allows automatic job creation, calendar syncing, and technician dispatch without manual data entry.

AgentZap pricing starts at approximately $140/month for home service businesses—a fraction of the $42,000-$55,000 annual cost of hiring a full-time receptionist or dispatcher. You get 24/7 coverage, emergency detection, multi-trade routing, and software integration included.

Yes. AgentZap's multi-trade routing automatically identifies the type of service needed (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, handyman, etc.) and routes calls to the appropriate technician based on specialty, availability, and location. This is essential for general contractors and multi-trade companies.

AgentZap includes intelligent human escalation protocols. When the AI detects situations requiring human judgment—such as insurance claims, warranty disputes, or customers who specifically request to speak with a person—it can seamlessly transfer the call to your team or schedule an urgent callback.

Yes. AI receptionists provide true 24/7/365 coverage, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Every call is answered instantly regardless of the time. This is especially valuable for home services since 58% of property emergencies occur outside normal business hours.

Absolutely. The AI can access your calendar in real-time, book service calls, estimates, and inspections during the call, and automatically sync with your dispatch system. For emergencies, it can immediately notify the on-call technician with all job details.

The AI follows customizable intake scripts to capture all relevant information: caller name, address, problem description (type of repair, affected area, urgency level), property type, preferred callback time, and any special access instructions. All details are organized and sent to your team instantly.

Most home service companies are fully operational within 24-48 hours. Setup includes configuring your services, trade-specific protocols, dispatch preferences, and software integrations. Our team handles the technical configuration so you can focus on serving customers.
