AI Answering Service for Appliance Repair

Solo appliance repair techs can't answer with hands inside machines or while driving between jobs. Trillet screens every caller for appliance type and urgency, captures repair details and model numbers, and texts them your calendar link, so you get qualified service calls with job context, not voicemails.

The Trillet Way

Emergency Job: Mike T. - Fridge Not Cooling, Whirlpool WRF535

Today 3pm - Food at risk - Full diagnostic details captured

Your Job Screening Process, Executed Perfectly. Every Time.

You don't need an AI to say 'leave a message.' You need one that knows which appliance is broken, whether it's an emergency, and what the model number is. Trillet follows your exact screening logic, triaging urgent repairs, asking your diagnostic questions, and only sending you jobs that are ready to book with full details captured.

Identify

Is this an existing customer or a new customer? If existing customer, take a message or transfer to your line. If new customer, continue to screening.

Screen

What type of appliance repair do they need? Which appliance? (Refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, oven, stove) Emergency or routine? (Not cooling, flooding, sparking vs maintenance, strange noise) Brand and model if available. Does this fit your service area and expertise? If no fit, politely decline and end the call professionally.

Qualify

Ask your custom diagnostic questions: What exactly is the appliance doing or not doing? When did the problem start? Appliance age? Under warranty? For refrigerators: Food spoiling risk? For washers: Active leak or flood risk? Any other questions specific to your business.

Book

If the customer wants to move forward: Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full call summary with appliance details and transcript. The service call appears in your calendar with full diagnostic context, no phone tag required.

What Appliance Repair Techs Are Saying

I was replacing a compressor when someone called about a broken Sub-Zero. My hands were full and I couldn't grab my phone. Trillet got the model number, symptoms, everything. The customer had a booking link before I finished the repair. That's a $450 job I would have lost to the next guy in the Google results.

Why 'Message Taking' Doesn't Work for Appliance Repair

Voicemail

Customers with broken refrigerators (food spoiling) or flooding washers won't leave voicemails. They need help now and call the next repair tech who answers. Emergency appliance calls are time-sensitive and high-value.

Result: Lost $300-800 repair jobs before you even know they called.

Generic AI

They take a name and number. You call back 2 hours later, they've already booked another repair tech who captured their appliance details and symptoms immediately. In a competitive local market, speed wins.

Result: Phone tag with customers who've moved on to faster competitors.

Trillet

We screen for appliance type and urgency, capture brand/model and diagnostic details, and send them your booking link. You see the service call in your calendar with full context ('Whirlpool fridge not cooling, food at risk'), not a to-do list.

Result: Booked jobs with diagnostic details captured while your hands are literally inside machines or you're driving between appointments.

Common Questions from Appliance Repair Technicians

An AI answering service answers your phone 24/7, screens customers for appliance type and urgency, captures diagnostic details like brand/model and symptoms, and helps them book service calls, without a human dispatcher. Unlike voicemail or basic answering services that just take messages, Trillet runs your full diagnostic protocol so you only spend time on qualified repair jobs that are ready to book with full context captured.

Trillet follows a four-step diagnostic process: First, it identifies whether the caller is a new customer or existing customer. Second, it screens for appliance type (refrigerator, washer, dryer, etc.), emergency vs routine, and brand/model. Third, it asks your custom diagnostic questions (symptoms, when it started, age, warranty status). Finally, if the customer is qualified and wants to proceed, Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full summary with appliance details and transcript after every call.

When a customer is qualified and wants to schedule appliance repair, Trillet texts them your calendar link directly during the call. They can book a time that works for both of you. You get notified with the full call summary including appliance details and symptoms, no phone tag required.

Trillet will politely explain that your repair business doesn't serve that area and end the call professionally. You'll still receive a summary so you know who called and what they needed.

Yes. Trillet screens for urgency at the beginning of each call. Emergency situations (refrigerator not cooling with food at risk, washer flooding, sparking appliances) are flagged and prioritized, while routine work (maintenance, strange noise, non-urgent issues) goes through standard booking. You can set custom rules for emergency routing.

Yes. Trillet asks for the appliance brand and model number during the call. If the customer doesn't have the model number immediately available, Trillet guides them on where to find it (inside fridge door, back of dryer, etc.) or notes that you'll need it on arrival.

Listen for yourself, we have a demo above. Trillet is designed for natural, professional conversation that matches the tone of your appliance repair business. Many callers don't realise they're speaking with AI.

That's exactly when Trillet is most valuable. The call gets answered without you stopping your current repair, the customer gets screened for urgency and appliance details are captured, and they receive your booking link, all before you finish the job. You see emergency jobs flagged in your calendar when you're ready, ensuring you never miss high-value work. In a competitive local market where customers are calling multiple repair techs, answering first often means winning the job.

Yes. Our Pro plan includes field service management integration with tools like ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and others. Contact our team to set this up for your appliance repair business.

Trillet starts at $29/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compare that to human answering services ($200-400/month) or the cost you're already paying for Google Ads and Local Services Ads. If you're spending $20-50 per click and missing calls because you're working, you're burning ad budget. The average appliance repair job is $300-500, with major repairs like refrigerator compressors reaching $800-1,200. Trillet pays for itself with just one or two captured jobs per month.

Yes. Trillet uses bank-level encryption for all calls and data. You control what questions are asked and what information is collected. We take customer confidentiality as seriously as you do.

Book More Jobs. Stop Burning Ad Budget on Missed Calls.

If you're paying for Google Ads or Local Services Ads and missing calls because your hands are in machines or you're driving, you're wasting money. Start capturing every repair job 24/7, even when you're unavailable.
