Grande Prairie
Five months of heating season
In Environment Canada's 1991–2020 climate normals, Grande Prairie's average daily temperature is below freezing in every month from November through March, and the average January high is −8.3 °C. A furnace that quits overnight in that stretch is a problem by morning, and the people calling you know it.
Grande Prairie is the regional service hub for a wide area, so a heating company here can spend a lot of the day on the road. Calls that come in while you're driving or in a mechanical room still get a text back within seconds.
What happens to a no-heat call
If a caller texts "no heat", or says the furnace quit, died or isn't working, you get an urgent text right away with what they wrote. The assistant tells them you've been alerted and stops asking questions, so you can call. If they already gave the address, it doesn't ask for it again.
If a caller mentions a gas smell or a CO alarm, the first thing they get is a text telling them to get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company's emergency line from outside. ATCO Gas has an office in Grande Prairie and a 24/7 natural gas emergency line.
Tune-ups, quotes on a new furnace and summer AC calls get the regular flow: what they need, the address, how soon and a good time to call back.
How it works
Forward the line. We take the call. You get the text.
- Before
Forward your business
Keep your number. Forward the line, or after hours only, to the local number we give you (about one tap on most cell phones). We look for one in your own area code first. We send you the steps.
- A call comes in
The assistant answers
It takes the details, and offers to note a time from your hours or just take a message. Callers hear that this is an automated assistant. It never pretends to be a person, and it never quotes a price.
- You get a text
You confirm, decline, or suggest another time
From a link, or reply 1 or 2. The caller is texted either way. A reminder goes out the day before a confirmed time. Missed-call text-back is included if a call still goes unanswered.
What the AI receptionist will and won't do
- If a caller asks, it tells them it's an automated assistant. It never pretends to be a person.
- It only shares facts you give it, like your service area, the jobs you do and the jobs you don't take.
- It never quotes prices or promises an arrival time. It can note a time from your hours; you confirm, decline, or suggest another from a text. Auto-confirm is off unless you switch it on.
- If a caller asks for a person, is upset or has an emergency, it stops and alerts you right away.
- It never gives repair instructions. Gas, smoke or sparking? The caller is told to get safe and call 911 first.
- Rather not use AI? Email us and we'll switch it off.
Built for the trades first. It works for any business that wants the phone answered: salons, clinics, restaurants, shops and offices pick their type at signup and the questions change to suit.

Questions from Grande Prairie
Does it decide what counts as an emergency?
It looks for plain words like "no heat", "furnace quit", "burst" or "flooding". "Not urgent" never counts. It doesn't diagnose anything. You decide what to do when you call.
Will it book a furnace tune-up?
The AI receptionist can note a time from your hours and text you to confirm, decline, or suggest another. It doesn't confirm the booking on the call unless you turn on auto-confirm, which is off by default. It never quotes a price.
Can it say we take after-hours emergency calls?
Yes, if you set that in your profile. It can say you take emergency calls, or that you don't do emergency call-outs but will call back as soon as you can.
Is it a real person?
No. It's an automated assistant, and it says so at the start of the call. It never claims to be a person. You confirm, decline, or suggest another time from a text.
How much is it?
Every plan has a 7-day free trial. A card is required. You're billed after 7 days unless you cancel. The AI receptionist is CA$199/month, Solo is $49/month, and Pro is $99.99/month. No setup fee, cancel anytime.
Can I try it before I sign up?
Call (825) 435-4870 to hear the AI receptionist, or (825) 479-6693 from your cell (hang up) to see missed-call text-back. Every plan has a 7-day free trial. A card is required.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your number and turn on "forward when unanswered" with your phone company, pointed at the local number we give you.
