The Cost of Missed Calls
For a Richmond HVAC business, missing a call during peak season is burning money.
The Math of Missed Opportunity
- Avg. Emergency Service Call $150 - $450
- New System Installation $6,000 - $15,000+
- Missed Calls / Week 3

- Annual Lost Revenue $78,000+
*Conservative estimates based on average job values
Turn "Missed" into "Booked"
You're often in an attic, on a roof, or dealing with water. Physically, you cannot answer. A missed call is an immediate lost job to the next guy in Google.
ZenithCall answers specifically when you can't, takes the job details, and texts you the info. One saved install pays for years of our service.
