An AI receptionist for dryer vent & air duct cleanings.

If you run a dryer vent & air duct cleaning 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 dryer vent & air duct cleanings-specific urgency cues, and only forwards real calls to you.
The AI is trained on the calls dryer vent & air duct cleanings actually get. It treats "burning smell from dryer", "fire from dryer", "lint everywhere", "animal in vent", "birds in vent" and similar phrases as emergencies that escalate to your cell immediately, bypassing any schedule or routing. If a caller mentions a true emergency, you ring within seconds — no AI hold, no voicemail.
For non-emergency calls — dryer takes forever to dry -- fire risk, visible lint coming out of dryer or vent, annual dryer vent cleaning, whole-house duct cleaning quote — the AI captures the caller's name, what they need, and (for service calls) the address. It works through 9 fields naturally in conversation, never as a checklist, so when you call back you have full context instead of "someone called, no message." Real dryer vent & air duct cleanings 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 dryer vent & air duct cleaning business.
