An AI receptionist for appliance repair technicians.
Trained on the calls an appliance repair technician actually gets — emergencies, common asks, the urgency cues that matter. Never quotes prices. Never books on its own. Captures every real call so a member of your team can follow up.

If you run an appliance repair technician business, you already know the pattern: an unknown number rings, you decline because most are spam, and the one in ten that was a real customer goes to your competitor instead. Carrier spam filters make it worse — they silently auto-reject calls before your phone even rings. VettedCalls puts a 10-second AI screen between the unknown caller and your phone. The AI captures the caller's name and what they need, recognizes appliance repair technicians-specific urgency cues, and only forwards real calls to you.
The AI is trained on the calls appliance repair technicians actually get. It treats "food spoiling", "fridge not cooling", "freezer thawing", "gas smell", "smoke from appliance" and similar phrases as emergencies that escalate to your cell immediately, bypassing any schedule or routing. If a caller mentions "refrigerator not cooling, food at risk", you ring within seconds — no AI hold, no voicemail.
For non-emergency calls — washer leaking water onto floor, dryer making screeching noise or not heating, ice maker not working, estimate for older unit (worth-fixing question) — the AI captures the caller's name, what they need, and (for service calls) the address. It works through 6 fields naturally in conversation, never as a checklist, so when you call back you have full context instead of "someone called, no message." Real appliance repair technicians report 30–50% fewer missed real-customer calls in the first month.
One firm rule: the AI never quotes prices over the phone — not hourly rates, not minimums, not a "ballpark." Pricing always depends on the specifics, and that conversation belongs with you (or someone on your team), not with a screening AI. The AI politely deflects pricing questions and gathers enough info that your callback is fast and on-target.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. You keep your existing phone number — VettedCalls uses carrier-level conditional forwarding, so contacts ring you directly and unknown callers route to the AI screener first. After signup, you tap an activation file on your phone, grant permissions, dial one short forwarding code, and you're live. Cancel anytime; no contracts; 14-day money-back if it isn't a fit for your appliance repair technician business.

Sample exchanges
Real example responses your AI is trained on for appliance repair technician calls.
What your AI captures on every call
- Their name (don't ask for callback number -- caller ID handles it; do the last-four confirm)
- Service address
- Appliance type (fridge, dryer, etc.) AND brand / model number if visible
- Approximate age of the appliance
- Symptom -- what it does and does not do
- Whether the unit is under warranty
Trust signals it weaves in naturally
Not recited like a script — referenced when relevant.
- Most parts in stock on the truck
- Warranty on parts and labor
- Honest -- if it is not worth fixing, I will tell you
- Major brands (LG, Samsung, GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch)
What your AI never does
- Never books or schedules appointments — gathers info + timing only
- Never says "free estimate" or "free quote"
- Never asks for your caller's email
- Never claims to be human (deflects with humor)
- Confirms the callback by last-four digits — doesn't ask for a number it already has
