Meet Riley. Furnace, boiler, water heater, drain, gas fitting: whatever the caller needs, she works out which one it is, books it into your Google Calendar, reads the booking back before it lands, and texts the customer a confirmation.
Call her now: (778) 601-3841 She's live. Try booking a furnace repair, or a blocked drain, and see what she does.Your office line, 604-853-0595, does not change. Riley only catches what you can't.
Most answering services take a message. Riley works out what the job actually is first, because a blocked drain and a dead boiler do not get booked the same way.
Furnace, boiler, no heat. She checks how cold the house is and whether anyone vulnerable is in it, then books the earliest genuine window.
"No heat since last night, and my mother is staying with us." Booked, first window tomorrow, flagged urgent.Leaks, water heaters, blocked drains. She asks whether water is actively running and tells them where the shutoff usually is while they wait.
"Water coming up through the basement floor drain." Booked, plus shutoff guidance on the call.She never troubleshoots gas. Anyone who mentions a smell is told to leave and call FortisBC or 911 before anything else.
"I can smell gas near the meter." Call redirected to FortisBC immediately, then flagged for you.Quotes, warranty questions, commercial scope, anything she is not sure about. She takes the details in writing and hands you a callback.
"What would a full boiler replacement run me?" No price given. Details captured, callback flagged.
