What they say it does
Hey everyone 👋 We're Kyle and Kevin, co-founders of CentralComs. TLDR: CentralComs is an AI receptionist and after-hours answering service for home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies. It answers the calls your office misses, books the appointment into your existing schedule, and then keeps following up on new leads, open estimates, and past customers until they book. More of the leads you already pay for turn into jobs. The Problem ❌ Home service companies spend heavily to make the phone ring, then lose a chunk of that revenue before a technician ever shows up. When the office is busy or closed: After-hours and overflow calls go to voicemail New leads sit for hours before anyone calls back Open estimates never get a follow-up Past customers are never reactivated CSRs work callback lists by hand Post-job happy calls happen only when someone remembers The expensive part, generating demand, already happened. The hard part is turning it into booked work. Most
