Phoenix, AZ — 7-truck residential & commercial HVAC
Derek and Lisa Nguyen run Arctic Air Pros, a 7-truck HVAC company in Phoenix. When summer hits and it's 115 degrees, their phones ring off the hook — and that's when things fall apart.
"June through September, we'd get 40 to 50 calls a day. My office manager could handle maybe 30. The rest went to voicemail or just rang out. We tried hiring a second person for the phones but couldn't find anyone reliable who'd work the evening shift."
Their answering service charged per-minute and the bill was hitting $800/month during summer — and callers still complained about long hold times and operators who didn't understand HVAC.
Arctic Air Pros started with The Call Taker's after-hours plan at $497/month. Within two weeks, they upgraded to the full 24/7 plan at $497/month because the AI was handling overflow during business hours too.
"The AI knows what a two-stage compressor is. It knows the difference between 'my AC won't turn on' and 'my AC is blowing warm air.' Our old answering service would just say 'we'll have someone call you back' to everything."
The biggest win was unexpected: because every call was answered instantly and professionally, their Google reviews improved. Three customers specifically mentioned the "great phone experience" in their reviews. Their rating went from 4.1 to 4.5 stars in 6 weeks.
"We made back the cost of The Call Taker on literally the first night. A customer called at 11 PM with a failed compressor — that was a $1,200 emergency repair. Without the AI, that would've gone to voicemail and they would've called someone else."
