BotsDontSleep is a 24/7 answering service for Edmonton HVAC contractors. It answers calls through a multi-month no-heat season, triages emergencies by occupant risk, dispatches to your on-call tech, and books tune-ups — $0 setup, $0.60 per minute.

Why do Edmonton hvac lose calls?

Edmonton's heating season is not an event, it is a five-month operating condition. From November to March a furnace failure is a genuine safety issue, and calls arrive overnight far more often than they do in Calgary or Vancouver. The metro area's spread across St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and Leduc also means dispatch decisions depend on which technician is closest, not just who is free.

Which calls does it answer for you in Edmonton?

  • Overnight no-heat emergencies through a five-month heating season
  • Furnace replacement quotes when a repair is no longer economic
  • Fall tune-up bookings arriving faster than the office can process
  • Maintenance plan member callouts with priority-response commitments
  • Multi-location dispatch across St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and Leduc

The receptionist establishes whether there is any heat at all, whether occupants are at risk, and where the property is, then pages the nearest on-call technician under your dispatch rules. Replacement enquiries are qualified on system age and home type and booked as quoting visits.

What does it cost in Edmonton?

$0 setup and $0.60 per answered minute, with no monthly minimum and no contract. A single-location hvac business in Edmonton typically spends $150 to $500 a month. A live answering service charges $1.50 to $3.00 a minute plus setup, and a full-time front-desk hire covers about 40 of the 168 hours in a week. Full numbers are on the answering service cost page.

Edmonton hvac answering service FAQs

What would a two-truck Edmonton HVAC company pay monthly?
No setup cost, no minimum. At $0.60 per answered minute, a shop fielding roughly 350 minutes of calls during a cold month pays about $210 — a fraction of the $1.50-$3.00 a minute a live overnight answering line bills.
How long before we're live before the next cold snap?
About one week, including loading your dispatch zones for St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and Leduc and running test emergency calls with your on-call technician.
Does it handle weekend no-heat calls the same as a weekday?
Yes. Coverage is identical every day of the week, which matters in Edmonton because a Saturday cold snap produces the same volume of frightened callers as a Tuesday, and both get triaged and paged the same way.
Can it prioritise a household with an infant over a routine tune-up caller?
Yes. You set occupant-risk priority rules, and the receptionist escalates households flagged as vulnerable straight to your on-call technician ahead of routine bookings.
Which languages matter most for our call volume?
Punjabi, Mandarin, Ukrainian, Tagalog, Spanish, and Arabic are the most common languages we see on Edmonton HVAC lines, all handled natively along with 90+ others, at no extra per-minute cost.
Does it connect with our field service software?
Yes, during onboarding we connect it to systems like ServiceTitan or Jobber so a booked quoting visit or dispatch appears directly in your scheduler rather than a separate message.
What happens during a citywide -35°C surge?
There's no queue. Every household calling at once gets answered in parallel, is triaged for occupant risk, and either paged to a technician or booked, so the surge doesn't turn into a wave of missed calls the next morning.
Do we keep our existing service phone number?
Yes, you forward it as-is, and you can stop forwarding at any time since there's no contract.
How does this compare with hiring overnight phone staff for winter only?
Seasonal staff still cost a wage regardless of call volume and can only take one call at a time. This bills only for minutes answered and takes unlimited simultaneous calls, which fits a five-month heating season better.
Does it dispatch by Edmonton service area?
Yes. You can set different on-call technicians or rotations for the city, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, and Spruce Grove, and the receptionist pages the right one based on the caller's address.
How does it prioritise a -30°C no-heat call?
By your rules, usually occupant risk first. Households with infants, elderly occupants, or medical needs are escalated ahead of the queue, with the address and situation sent to your technician by call and SMS.
Can it book furnace replacement quotes?
Yes. It captures system age, home type, and urgency, then books a quoting appointment into your estimator's calendar rather than leaving a callback request that goes cold overnight.
