How a call goes

Prime Appliance Service

Example call (scripted)
  1. Receptionist: Thanks for calling Prime Appliance Service, this is the virtual assistant. Which appliance is giving you trouble?
  2. Caller: My refrigerator stopped cooling. The freezer is still cold but the fridge side is warm.
  3. Receptionist: I can help. What brand is it, and can you find the model number? It’s usually on a sticker inside the fridge along the side wall.
  4. Caller: It’s a Samsung. Model RF28 something, let me read it.
  5. Receptionist: Take your time. Is the unit still under a manufacturer or extended warranty?
  6. Caller: No, it’s about six years old.
  7. Receptionist: Thanks. I have an opening tomorrow between 12 and 3. The diagnostic fee is applied to the repair if you go ahead. Should I book it?

Where appliance repair companies lose calls today

  1. A dead fridge can’t wait until Monday

    A refrigerator that stops cooling puts a week of groceries at risk. Those callers want the soonest appointment, and if your line rings out, they book the first shop that picks up.

  2. Two visits when one should do

    Without the brand, model number and error code, your tech diagnoses on the first visit and orders parts for a second. The customer waits longer and you eat the extra drive.

  3. Warranty and brand questions eat time

    Callers constantly ask whether you service their brand, whether you handle warranty work, and what the diagnostic fee is. Answering the same questions all day keeps your office from actually scheduling.

How does an AI receptionist help appliance repair businesses?

Appliance repair customers call when something they use every day stops working, and they book whoever gives them the soonest time. An AI receptionist answers every call, captures the appliance, brand, model number and symptom, and books a window from your calendar, Jobber or Housecall Pro. You get a summary by email and app notification, which lets you check parts availability before the visit. More first-visit fixes means happier customers and more jobs per day.

Can it tell callers which brands we service?

Yes. List the brands you work on and any you don’t, and the assistant answers accurately every time. It can also explain whether you handle warranty work, whether you service built-in or high-end units, and what your diagnostic fee covers. Callers who need a brand you don’t repair are told politely, instead of being booked for a visit that ends at the door. You can update the list any time your techs pick up a new brand.

Does it help techs get the part right the first time?

That’s one of its biggest jobs. The assistant walks callers through finding the model and serial number on the rating plate, asks for any error codes on the display, and records the symptom in plain language. With that summary, you can look up the likely part before the visit, and many repairs can be finished in one trip instead of two. Customers notice when the tech shows up with the right control board already on the truck.

What happens with after-hours appliance calls?

After hours, the assistant still answers in your name, collects the details and books the next available window. If you offer weekend or emergency service for things like a refrigerator full of food, it can follow those rules and alert your on-call tech. Most callers are happy just to have a confirmed time, and you start the morning with a full schedule. Every summary already lists the brand and symptom, so routing the day is quick.

Questions from appliance repair companies

Can it give repair prices over the phone?

It can share your diagnostic fee and any flat rates you publish. For repair costs that depend on the part, it explains that the technician will quote after diagnosing and before doing any work, so the customer isn’t surprised and can decide whether a repair makes sense for an older unit.

Does it help when parts need to be ordered?

When a customer calls back about a part on order, the assistant can take their details and pass the message to you. It answers from your notes, so if you add a standard explanation of how part orders work, it shares that consistently.

What if the caller can’t find the model number?

The assistant suggests common places to look based on the appliance, like inside the fridge door or on the dryer door frame. If they still can’t find it, it books the visit anyway and notes that the model number is missing.

Does it work with Jobber and Housecall Pro?

Yes. It books appointments into Jobber and Housecall Pro and sends new leads into both. It also books into Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, and can send new callers to ServiceTitan’s Bookings queue. Each booking carries the brand, model number and symptom in the appointment notes, so your tech sees them on the job.

Can it speak Russian or Ukrainian?

Yes. On Studio voices the receptionist answers in 89 languages, Russian and Ukrainian included, and the Value plan answers in English and Spanish. That helps with callers in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach or parts of North Jersey. The summary you receive is in English, with the model number and symptom written out for your tech.
