Book every no-heat and burst-pipe call, even at 2 a.m.
Harbor's AI Front Desk answers your phones when your team is on a job, after hours, and during the first-cold-snap rush. It books service calls, sends true emergencies straight to your on-call tech, and texts back every caller you miss.
Your phone is your revenue
- Only 52% of calls to home-services companies reach a person, and 66% of consumers hang up when nobody answers. (Invoca, 2026 Home Services Benchmarks)
- Home-services businesses missed 14% of calls in CallRail's 2025 dataset of 1.1 million leads. (CallRail 2025 data via Local Call)
- In New England, the first cold night of the season and every nor'easter bring a surge of calls your office can't keep up with.
What it handles for you
- Emergency triage: "Is there water on the floor? Is the heat completely out? Anyone elderly or infants in the home?" True emergencies transfer live or page your on-call tech. Everything else gets booked.
- Service-area check: Confirms the caller's town against your service area, so you don't drive an hour for a small call.
- Booking: Offers real windows from your calendar, or creates the job in your field-service software where the integration supports it. We confirm your platform (Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan and others) on the audit.
- Price-shopper handling: Gives your diagnostic or trip fee and policies the way you want them stated.
- Maintenance plan mentions: Mentions your tune-up or service plan on routine calls.
- Missed-call text-back: "Sorry we missed you! Reply with your address and what's going on and we'll get you scheduled."
- Review requests: A text after each completed job (Pro plan).
Example call flow
Caller says "No heat, Worcester" → the AI confirms the address is in your area → asks 3 triage questions → if it's an emergency, it transfers to your on-call tech and texts the dispatcher a summary → if not, it offers the next 2 windows, books, and confirms by text.

Frequently asked questions
Will it wake my on-call tech for every call?
No. You set the emergency rules, and only those calls transfer.
Can it quote prices?
It can give your diagnostic fee, trip charge, and standard policies. It won't quote repairs.
Does it work with ServiceTitan, Jobber or Housecall Pro?
We confirm your exact setup during the free audit. If a direct integration isn't possible, jobs arrive as a clean text or email for your dispatcher to enter in seconds.
What about the busy season?
That's when it pays off most. Plans are measured in AI minutes, extra minutes are a flat $0.25, and you can set a hard cap so your bill stays predictable.
