What it does for chimney sweep and repair companies
An AI receptionist for chimney sweep and repair companies answers every call the moment it rings. It sorts the smell of smoke and a possible chimney fire from a routine fall sweep, quotes standard sweeps and inspections from your price book and books the job on your calendar. When someone reports a fire or carbon monoxide, it reaches you fast. It works through the fall rush, after hours and on weekends.

Hear it handle a call like yours
The kind of call chimney sweep and repair companies get at the worst possible time, answered and booked while you work. Then try it yourself.
- AI: Old Flue Chimney Sweeps, how can I help?
- Customer: I want the chimney cleaned before we start using the fireplace.
- AI: Good timing. Is it wood burning, and when was it last swept?
- Customer: Wood. I honestly don't know. We bought the house last year.
- AI: Then we'd suggest a sweep with a Level 1 inspection. That's $249 together. Have you noticed a smoke smell in the room or a roaring sound when it's lit?
- Customer: No, nothing like that.
- AI: Good. If you ever hear a roar or see smoke in the room, get everyone out and call 911 first. I have Tuesday at 9 AM in your area.
- Customer: Tuesday works.
- AI: Booked for Tuesday at 9 AM. Please don't light a fire the day before so the flue is cool.
Calls it handles
Smoke smell and a roaring sound at 8pm
The AI recognizes a possible chimney fire and tells the caller to get everyone out and call 911. Then it takes the address and reaches you right away.
The fall rush hits all at once
Twelve people call the same cold week to get a sweep before their first fire. The AI books each one, holds your route by area and quietly screens the sales calls.
A real estate closing on a deadline
An agent needs a Level 2 inspection before a sale closes Friday. The AI catches the timeline, quotes the inspection from your book and gets it on the calendar with the property details.
Booked by your rules
It only offers real openings inside the hours you set, never a day you blocked. Spam and out-of-area leads never land on your calendar.

Common questions
Can it tell a real emergency from a routine sweep?
Yes. When a caller mentions smoke in the house, a roaring chimney, flames or a carbon monoxide alarm, the AI treats it as urgent. It tells them to get out and call 911 if needed, takes the address and reaches you fast. A fall sweep or a draft question gets booked the normal way.
Will it quote my sweeps and inspections correctly?
Yes, from your price book. A standard sweep, a Level 1 inspection or a cap install comes back with your number. Repairs like a cracked crown, new flashing or a liner usually need eyes on the chimney, so for those it books the inspection and tells the caller you will price it after you see it.
What about all the calls during the busy fall season?
That is when it earns its keep. Every homeowner calls the same cold week to get swept before their first fire. The AI answers each one and books them by area so your route makes sense. It screens the spam and sales calls and follows up with anyone who asked for a quote and went quiet.
