What does an AI receptionist for plumbers do?
+
It answers your business line whenever you cannot, works out whether the job is urgent, books routine work and records the details you need to quote. RingOut's Miya flags burst pipes and floods to you straight away and gives your morning list of everything else.
How does it handle emergency plumbing calls?
+
Miya asks whether water is still running and whether the caller can reach the stopcock, records the address and sends an urgent alert to your phone. Anyone reporting a gas smell is told to leave the building and ring 000 or their gas emergency line first.
Will it quote prices to my customers?
+
Only prices you have written down, such as a call-out fee or a fixed price for a standard job. For anything else, Miya explains that the plumber will quote and records the system type, age, location and photos so you can price it without a long call back.
Does it connect to ServiceM8 or Tradify?
+
Not yet. RingOut books into Google Calendar or Calendly, and every call summary is waiting in your dashboard. Many plumbers copy confirmed jobs into their job software at the end of the day, which takes a few minutes rather than a round of call backs.
Can I keep my existing business number?
+
Yes. You divert your current number to RingOut, either all calls or only those you miss or that come after hours. Customers keep ringing the number on your van and your website, and you can turn the divert off at any time.
How much does an AI receptionist for plumbers cost?
+
