The day

The first heatwave with Dayrun

  1. An older woman at home on the phone on a hot morning, the aircon off above her
    6:50 am

    The calls start before the vans leave

    Ray answers every one, asks what has stopped working and who is at home. An older customer with no cooling is marked urgent, a noisy unit is booked for later in the week.

  2. A technician loading gear into his van outside a suburban house in the heat
    9:30 am

    Too many jobs, too few techs

    Dex matches each call-out to a tech with the right skills in the right zone and gives every customer a real arrival window. The urgent jobs go first.

  3. A technician inspecting a wall split system while the homeowner looks on
    1:40 pm

    A system from last summer has stopped

    Nora finds the install in the job history, handles it as warranty work and books the visit. The customer hears exactly what happens next.

    The old units need replacing

Sets real arrival windows

Jobs are matched on skill and zone, and customers know when to expect the van.

Closes the replacement quotes

New systems and maintenance plans are followed up after the rush, not forgotten.

The maths

What missed calls cost an HVAC business.

A typical US heating and cooling business, worked out in the open. Cited figures link to their source, and every assumption says so.

2,400Calls a year(assumption)
27%Calls that go unanswered1
38%Of those, real job leads2
45%Leads that book once answered2
$350Average US HVAC repair3
Lost every year$38,700
Won back when Dayrun answers every call$19,300Assumes half of those jobs are won back once every call is answered (assumption)

An estimate, not a promise. The call shares are Invoca's own customer data, which leans towards larger businesses running paid ads, and the lead share is for calls from digital marketing. Job values are HomeAdvisor's average homeowner-reported prices for single jobs, so bigger installs would push the figure up. The yearly call count and the 50% are assumptions.
