The 2015 United States Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) says that 64% of the homes in the US use central air conditioning, and 11% use heating systems for their homes, increasing the growth and necessity of HVAC companies.
With a steady rise in value from $25.6 billion starting in 2019 and an annual growth rate of 9.7% CAGR, the HVAC service market is estimated to reach $35.8 billion in 2030.
To stay on top of their game, HVAC companies need a reliable answering service from reputable service providers, like Front Office Solutions, to make sure they don’t miss a single inquiry call.
As a customer, can you wait until the working day of any HVAC company to resolve your query or address your emergency issues? Absolutely, No. HVAC answering service is pivotal in responding to customers’ queries 24/7.
In this blog, we’ll talk about the advantages of a 24/7 answering service for HVAC companies to provide efficient and seamless service.
Advantages of a 24/7 Answering Service for HVAC Companies
Prevent Losing a Customer:
HVAC issues don’t wait for the right time to show up. Mostly, they appear at inconvenient times, such as midnight, on weekends, or after business hours. People get frustrated when they don’t get any response during an emergency, leading to losing a customer. A 24/7 HVAC call center will prevent that from happening.
Increases Business Revenue:
Hiring a FOS for your HVAC company reduces the stress of recruiting an office person to answer customer calls, resolve their queries, and so on. This ensures that you do not miss any customers.
As a result, you can concentrate on other significant tasks, leading to increased revenue for your business.
Rendering Customized Service:
If you believe voicemails will provide efficient customer service 24/7, I’m sorry, it’s not.
According to The New York Times, 20% of people never listen to the voicemails they have. As a result, businesses might miss their potential customers.
Moreover, when someone speaks with the customer, they feel more valued than when talking to voicemails or automated systems.
Increases Business Efficiency:
One of the strengths of a business is assigning tasks to the appropriate team or person with experience and knowledge. One person handling many different tasks is practically impossible and may lead to an inefficient business portfolio. An answering service with years of experience and trained operators can efficiently handle calls, allowing business owners to concentrate on other crucial tasks that need immediate attention.
Reduces Operational Costs:
Hiring a receptionist, training them, and paying them a salary is expensive. Moreover, a receptionist might be required to handle calls at night or during non-working days, adding to operational costs. Instead, rely on an answering service to ensure 24/7 availability for customers at a reasonable price.
Sounds More Professional:
Whether you own a startup or a well-established organization, hiring an answering service will make your company more professionally sound. A trained HVAC answering person understands the customer’s needs and answers accordingly, creating a good reputation for your company.
Increases Customer Satisfaction:
Well-trained operators answer customer queries promptly, reducing the waiting time for customers. Additionally, with an answering service, customers won’t have to send messages and wait for replies, increasing customer satisfaction.
Conclusion
The annual expenditure on HVAC services of around $14 billion shows its substantial growth and robust market opportunities.
Grow your HVAC business by taking advantage of an answering service. They help in gaining customer trust, increasing business efficiency, reputation, and customer satisfaction.
