Home Services
Every Missed Call Is a Job Your Competitor Books
HVAC, roofing, plumbing, solar, and trades businesses lose six figures annually to slow callbacks, unanswered after-hours emergencies, and lead-aggregator waste. Revulas answers in seconds, triages urgency, and books estimates — while your crew stays on the truck.

Live CRM — unified inbox, AI channel controls, and workflow canvas tuned for how home services teams actually sell.
You're paying for leads. Your phone stack is giving them away.
Home services is a speed game. A homeowner with no heat, a active leak, or storm damage calls three companies. The first to answer with a real human (or human-quality AI) voice wins the truck roll. Yet most shops still rely on office staff who clock out at 5pm, voicemail after hours, and SMS follow-up that happens 'when we get a chance.'
The after-hours emergency leak
Roughly 40–60% of HVAC and plumbing emergency calls happen outside standard office hours — when most small shops have no live answer.
One missed emergency job averages $350–$1,200 in revenue. Three missed after-hours calls per week = $54,000–$187,000/year walking to competitors who answered.
Speed-to-lead on paid traffic
LSA, Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Meta leads are sold to multiple contractors simultaneously. Response time is the entire competitive advantage.
Firms that respond within 5 minutes convert up to 21× more leads than those waiting 30+ minutes (Lead Response Management study). At $75–$150 per lead, slow response is burning ad budget.
Office overhead that can't scale seasonally
Peak season demands 3× call volume. Hiring seasonal CSRs means recruiting, training, and layoffs — every year.
One full-time CSR = $35,000–$45,000/year + benefits. AI handles unlimited concurrent calls without seasonal hiring cycles — scope discussed on a strategy call.
Unworked CRM & past customers
Tune-ups, maintenance plans, and storm follow-ups sit in ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber — uncontacted because the office is drowning in new leads.
Reactivating 500 past customers at 15% booking rate × $400 average ticket = $30,000 in revenue from data you already own.

ROI snapshot
One booked job pays for the month
Revulas typically pays for itself with 2–3 incremental booked jobs — everything after that is margin. Most shops recover strong ROI in the first 90 days from speed-to-lead alone.
