Frequently asked questions
Can it tell an emergency from a routine call?+
Yes — you define the triage. Typical setups treat no-heat/no-cool, gas smells or water leaks as emergencies that page the on-call tech, while everything else books the next available window.
Can it dispatch to my field-service software?+
The agent writes call outcomes to Google Sheets, CRMs and any HTTPS endpoint — most FSM platforms (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber) accept jobs via API or Zapier, which Telenow connects to.
What happens during a surge — can lines be busy?+
No busy signals: the agent answers concurrent calls in parallel, so a storm day is handled the same as a quiet one. Concurrency limits are configurable per plan.
How much does an HVAC answering service cost per month?+
Telenow bills per minute of actual talk time with itemized, component-level pricing (model, speech, telephony, platform fee). Unanswered and failed calls are not billed. There are no per-call fees and no long-term contract.
