The problem

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

Winter is where you make your money, but it's also when every installer on your team is out on a job. When you're fitting a new heat pump or servicing a ducted system, nobody is back at the office to pick up the phone. The homeowner whose heat pump died on a freezing Southerly night is not going to try you twice.

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