# An AI receptionist for insulation contractors that books assessments while you are in the attic An AI receptionist for insulation contractors answers every call 24/7 in your company’s name. It asks where the homeowner wants insulation, like the attic, walls, crawl space or basement, what problem they are trying to fix, the age of the home and whether they are interested in spray foam or blown-in, then books an assessment or texts you the lead. ## Why insulation contractors miss calls - **You are in an attic or crawl space all day:** Your crew is suited up in a hot attic blowing cellulose or spraying foam in a rim joist. Nobody can take a call wearing a respirator, and homeowners asking about drafty rooms hear voicemail instead of your company. - **Callers describe symptoms, not solutions:** Homeowners call about cold bedrooms, high heating bills, ice dams or a hot upstairs, not about R-values. Someone has to ask the right questions to figure out whether the job is an attic top-off, wall injection or full air sealing. - **Demand spikes with the first cold snap and heat wave:** The first cold week in the fall and the first heat wave in summer both bring a rush of calls. Those are the moments homeowners are most motivated, and they are also when your crews are busiest. ## Calls Vocenya answers for insulation contractors - Attic insulation and top-offs - Spray foam insulation estimates - Blown-in wall insulation for older homes - Crawl space and basement insulation - Air sealing and drafty room complaints - Old insulation removal after pests or water - Questions about rebates and energy programs ## How does an AI receptionist help insulation contractors book more jobs? Homeowners usually call about insulation when they are uncomfortable or just opened a big utility bill. That is the moment to book the assessment. The receptionist answers every call 24/7, asks about the home’s age, the problem rooms, the attic access and what the caller has already tried, and books an assessment into your calendar. You get a text summary before each visit, so your technician arrives knowing what to look for and what equipment to bring into the attic. ## Can it explain spray foam versus blown-in insulation? Yes, from your website and notes. If you describe when you recommend open-cell or closed-cell spray foam, and when blown-in cellulose or fiberglass makes more sense, it shares that with callers in plain language. It avoids technical claims you have not written down and books an assessment when the answer depends on seeing the home. Callers come away understanding your approach, which builds trust before the visit. Your technicians spend less time explaining basics and more time on the actual recommendation. ## Can it answer questions about rebates and energy programs? It can share whatever you tell it about programs you participate in, such as whether you help homeowners apply for utility or state energy efficiency programs. It will not promise rebate amounts or eligibility it does not know. If a caller has detailed questions, it captures them for your office so you can give an accurate answer on the follow-up call. That protects you from a caller expecting a specific rebate you never promised, and it shows homeowners you take their questions seriously. The summary lists every question they asked. ## How does it help with ice dams and winter calls? In a New Jersey winter, ice dams along the roof edge often point to heat escaping through the attic. When a caller mentions ice dams, icicles or water stains on upstairs ceilings, the receptionist can explain your general approach using your notes and book an attic assessment. If water is actively coming inside, it can flag the call as urgent and transfer it or suggest the homeowner call a roofer first. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the AI receptionist quote insulation jobs? Most insulation contractors price after an assessment because attic size, existing material and air sealing needs vary. The receptionist can explain that and book the visit. If you offer set prices for simple jobs, like an attic top-off by square footage, it can share those as you write them. ### Can it recognize when a call is really for another trade? Yes. You can give it guidance, such as suggesting a roofer for active leaks, an HVAC company for a broken furnace or a pest control company for animals in the attic. It captures the call and passes along the suggestion, which keeps your schedule focused on insulation work. ### Does it work with Jobber? Yes. It sends leads into Jobber and Housecall Pro and can book assessments there on the Growth and Pro plans. It also works with Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 if you schedule out of those. Each lead arrives with the problem rooms, home age and attic access details. ### Will homeowners know it is AI? The assistant identifies itself as a virtual assistant either at the start of the call or when someone asks, based on your preference. It never pretends to be a person, and a warm transfer to you or your team is always available when a homeowner wants one. ### How much does it cost? Plans start at $49 a month for 250 AI minutes.
