The calls an HVAC shop loses after hours

No-cool and no-heat calls come when nobody is at the desk. A homeowner with an elderly parent in a hot house does not leave a voicemail. They call the next shop on Google. Argus was proven on HVAC first, in New York City.

How it handles the three calls that matter

Emergency, 2 a.m.

No AC, elderly parent in the house

Urgency recognized, address confirmed, your on-call tech phoned until a human presses 1. Intake texted to you before the caller hangs up.

Safety, any hour

Gas smell, sparks, burning odor

Caller sent outside and told to call 911 first, every time. Then your on-call tech is alerted.

Routine, Sunday night

Maintenance, mini-split quote, water heater

Screened for safety, booked into a day and time window with the address, on your board Monday morning.

These three calls are the real recordings on the demo page. Actors on the caller side, the live product on the other.

What one caught call is worth

One saved after-hours no-cool call is a $300 to $1,500 job. Standard is $399 a month, no per-minute billing. One caught call a month and it has paid for itself.

Straight answers for HVAC shops

What happens when a no-cool call comes in at 2 a.m.?

Argus answers with your company name, asks who is in the house and how hot it is, and captures name, callback, address, and the problem. A real emergency rings your on-call tech until a human confirms. The intake is texted to you as the call ends.

Does it know the difference between an emergency and a routine call?

Yes. It screens for elderly residents, infants, gas smell, sparks, water, and extreme temperatures. Hazards are told to call 911 first. Routine work is booked into a day and time window for your office to confirm.

Is it a real person?

No. Argus is an AI receptionist trained on trades intake, and it says so if asked. At 2 a.m. the honest comparison is Argus versus your voicemail. Call the line and judge it yourself.

Can it answer in Spanish?

Yes. It answers in English or Spanish, completes the intake in the caller's language, and texts you the details in English.

What does it cost?

A 30-day pilot is $199 flat, free if it books you nothing. Then $399 a month for after-hours and overflow, or $799 for a full 24/7 desk. No per-minute billing, no contract. Details on the pricing page.

What happens to my phone number?

Nothing. You keep your number and set conditional forwarding to your Argus line, after-hours only, overflow only, or 24/7. You turn it off from your own phone in about 30 seconds. Codes at /forwarding.
