Questions from HVAC contractors
Can it handle lots of calls at once during a heat wave?+
Yes. Blue answers many calls at the same time, so callers don't hit a busy signal or a hold queue the way they do with a single front-desk line.
How does it decide what's an emergency?+
You set the rules, for example no heat below a certain temperature or vulnerable occupants in the home. Blue asks the questions and transfers emergencies to your on-call phone.
Can it sell maintenance plans?+
Blue explains your maintenance plans and pricing from the information you provide, and books tune-up visits. Outbound campaigns can remind opted-in customers when they're due.
How fast can I get it running?+
Most companies are live in minutes: describe your business, pick a number or forward your existing one, and Blue starts answering.
