Stop Missing $300 Service Calls with AI Chatbots
Capture every lead 24/7 with an intelligent assistant that handles diagnostic intake, schedules technicians, and integrates directly with your existing dispatch software.
In the appliance repair industry, speed is the primary driver of revenue. When a customer's refrigerator fails or a washing machine floods their laundry room, they call the first three companies they find on Google. If your dispatcher is on the other line or it is after hours, that missed call represents a direct loss of $200 to $500 in immediate repair revenue. Furthermore, dispatchers often spend 15 minutes per call just trying to identify the correct brand, model number, and specific symptoms before they can even check the schedule.
Read Laboratories builds AI chatbots specifically for appliance repair workflows. We understand that your business lives or dies by your ability to manage multi-brand expertise—from Samsung and LG electronics to high-end Sub-Zero and Wolf cooling systems. Our bots don't just 'chat'; they perform preliminary diagnostics, capture serial numbers for warranty claims, and verify EPA Section 608 compliance requirements before your technician even pulls out of the driveway.
Problems We Solve
The After-Hours Lead Leak
Most appliance failures happen in the evening or on weekends. Our AI captures these high-intent leads at 9 PM, schedules them for the next morning, and prevents them from calling your competitor.
Incomplete Diagnostic Data
Technicians often arrive only to find they don't have the right parts. The AI forces customers to upload photos of model tags and describe symptoms (e.g., 'not cooling' vs 'clicking sound'), ensuring the right tech is sent with the right components.
Dispatcher Overload
Automate the repetitive 'What are your rates?' and 'Do you service Bosch?' questions. This frees your office staff to focus on complex parts ordering and warranty claim processing with manufacturers.
Low Google Review Volume
The AI automatically follows up via SMS 2 hours after a job is marked 'Completed' in your CRM, specifically asking for a review if the customer is satisfied, boosting your local SEO rankings.
What You Get
Native CRM Integration
Direct two-way sync with Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and Jobber to pull real-time technician availability and push new jobs directly into your dispatch board.
Multi-Brand Knowledge Base
Programmed with specific troubleshooting trees for Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Samsung, and LG to provide customers with immediate value.
Photo & Video Uploads
Allows customers to snap a photo of their appliance's model sticker or record the sound of a failing compressor, which is then attached to the service ticket.
Warranty Status Intake
Automatically asks if the unit is under manufacturer or extended warranty and collects the necessary policy numbers to expedite claim filing.
EPA Compliance Screening
Screens for sealed system repairs to ensure jobs involving refrigerant are flagged for your Section 608 certified lead technicians.

$1,500 - $3,000

ROI Example
Capturing just two extra $350 repair jobs per month covers the entire monthly cost and yields a 140% return on investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it tell the difference between a simple clog and a failed pump?
While the AI doesn't replace a technician, it uses diagnostic logic to ask if a dishwasher is draining or if there is standing water. This helps categorize the urgency and potential parts needed before the tech arrives.
How does it integrate with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?
We use API webhooks to check your current schedule. When a customer selects a time in the chat, the AI creates a 'Pending' job in your CRM and notifies your dispatcher to confirm it.
Does the AI know which brands we don't service?
Yes. If you don't touch high-end brands like Miele or Viking, or if you refuse to work on brands with parts-availability issues like certain Samsung models, the AI will politely inform the customer and offer to refer them elsewhere.
Can it handle emergency leak calls?
Absolutely. We can program 'Emergency Triggers.' If a customer mentions a flood or a gas smell, the AI can immediately provide shut-off instructions and escalate the call to your emergency line.
What happens if the customer wants to talk to a human?
The AI features a 'Human Handoff' mode. If the customer's sentiment indicates frustration or if they explicitly ask for a person, the system alerts your office staff via SMS or desktop notification immediately.
