The problem

The first heatwave hits and your phone rings off the hook. Who is answering it?

Summer is where you make your money, but it's also when every technician on your team is out on a breakdown. When you're troubleshooting a ducted system or fitting a new split unit, nobody is back at the office to pick up the phone. The homeowner whose AC died at 2pm on a 40-degree day is not going to try you twice.

  • 85% of callers with an AC emergency won't wait to leave a voicemail
  • During a heatwave you could be losing 3-5 AC jobs per day, not per week
  • Summer call volumes spike but a full-time receptionist costs A$1,500+/month year-round
  • Every call a competitor answers is revenue you will never see
