A done for you AI receptionist for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and other home service companies. It answers 24/7 in English and Spanish, books the job into your calendar, and follows up by text so the lead never goes cold.
What does an AI receptionist do for a home service business?
An AI receptionist answers every inbound call the moment it rings, day or night. It greets the caller by your business name, collects the job details and address, answers common questions about service area and pricing, books the appointment or estimate into your calendar, transfers emergencies to your on call tech, and texts you a summary. Missed calls get an instant text back, and open quotes get automatic follow up. Martin AI Systems sets it up and runs it for you, with plans from $500 a month.
The Problem
The phone rings while you are under a sink. That job goes to whoever picks up next.
Many home service companies miss 20% to 40% of their inbound calls. Techs are on jobs, the office is on another line, and after hours calls go to voicemail. Most callers do not leave a message. They call the next company on the list.

Questions
AI receptionist FAQ
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business phone like a trained front desk person. It greets the caller, answers common questions, collects the job details, books the appointment or estimate into your calendar, and texts you a summary. It works 24 hours a day and never puts a caller on hold.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for a home service business?
Martin AI Systems plans run $500, $1,000, or $2,000 a month depending on how much of the front office you want handled, plus a one time setup fee quoted before you start. For most HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies, recovering two or three booked jobs a month covers the cost.
Will customers know they are talking to AI?
Modern AI voices sound natural, but we recommend being upfront, and many states require disclosure when calls are recorded. Callers care most that someone answers right away and books them in. The AI can transfer to a person any time a caller asks or the call is urgent.
Can the AI receptionist speak Spanish?
Yes. The receptionist answers in English or Spanish and switches based on the caller. Your summaries and booking notes come to you in English.
Does it work with my scheduling software?
It books into the calendar or field service software you already use, such as Google Calendar, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan. We confirm the connection on the setup call before anything goes live.
What happens with emergency calls?
You decide the rules. Typical setups flag words like leak, no heat, flooding, or sparks as urgent and transfer the call straight to the on call technician, while routine calls are booked into open slots.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live in 7 to 14 days. We write the call script with you, load your services, service area, and pricing rules, test it with real calls, and then turn it on for after hours and overflow first.
Call recording and AI disclosure rules vary by state. We set up a disclosure greeting by default and you should confirm requirements for your state.
