AI Call Intelligence for Home Service Businesses
HVAC, plumbing, roofing, moving, restoration, pest control — and every home services business in between. CallRecoup reads your team's recorded, answered calls and sends you a weekly report showing which calls AI flags as winnable, why each one didn't book, and which agents need coaching.
For service businesses with 100+ monthly calls. No credit card required.

2 calls AI flagged as winnable yesterday
The Quiet Problem
Every week, your phone team loses deals. You just don't know which ones.
01
You can't listen to every call.
If your team handles 400 calls a month, listening to all of them takes about 30 hours (example arithmetic: 400 calls × ~4½ min). So you don't. And the patterns hide.
02
Your best closer and your weakest link sound the same on paper.
They both show “qualified” in your call tracker. But one of them is booking jobs the other one isn't. Which is which? You're guessing.
03
The deals you lost don't leave evidence.
When a caller hangs up frustrated, they don't tell you why. They just call your competitor. You see “no booking” in the report. You don't see the reason.
What You Get
Your recorded calls, read. Every flagged job, explained. Every week.
01 — Call Analysis
Transcribed, summarized, and tagged automatically.
Every answered call of 20 s+ with a recording, up to your plan, gets a full transcript, an AI-generated summary, sentiment and theme tagging. Pricing objections, scheduling friction, hot leads, competitor mentions — patterns surfaced automatically.
Call analysisExample
CALLER“I just need someone out today, my unit is making this awful noise and it’s 88 in the house…”
AGENT“Okay, our diagnostic is $189 — is that something you’re comfortable with?”
CALLER“$189 just to look at it? That seems steep. Let me call around.”
AI summary · agent led with price before urgency▸ flagged for review
02 — Lost Deals
We don't just flag lost deals. We tell you why they slipped.
Each call AI flags as winnable comes with the reason it didn't book (a price objection not overcome, no one asked for the booking, a promised call back) and the recording to check it yourself.
Why it didn't bookExample
- Price objection not overcome
- No one asked for the booking
- Promised a call back
03 — Agent Coaching
Find out which agents are closing and which are coachable.
The agents on your key calls get strengths and coaching notes, by name, with specific call examples. Strengths quoted directly. Coaching opportunities flagged with the exact calls that show the pattern. No more guessing who your real performers are.
Agent coaching · This weekExample
- Maria R. · strong on urgency framing
- Janelle T. · empathy-first
- Derek K. · coaching: offer to book after giving the fee
- Sam P. · coaching: long holds
- Cara N. · strong on diagnostics upsell
04 — Caller Quotes
Hear what your callers actually said about you.
We surface direct quotes from your callers — categorized as Delight, Unmet Need, or Frustration — tied to specific calls. You'll hear what they said about your pricing, your competitors, your hold times, and your team. The unfiltered voice of your customer, weekly.
Notable caller quotes · This weekExample
- Delight: “Janelle was the only person all morning who actually let me finish my sentence. I’ll wait until Friday for her.” (Call #4798 · Mon 9:14 AM)
- Frustration: “$189 just to come look at it? That’s higher than the last three places I called. Forget it.” (Call #4821 · Tue 2:47 PM)
- Frustration: “I’ve been on hold fourteen minutes. I’m going to try someone else.” (Call #4856 · Tue 4:18 PM)
- Unmet Need: “I asked about the gas line repair on your website but he said you don’t do that anymore? Since when?” (Call #4872 · Wed 11:02 AM)
05 — Morning Email
When a job slips through, you know the next morning.
The morning after a call gets flagged, an email lists it with the reason and a link to the call, so you can call them back the same day.
- The morning after a flag: the flagged calls.
- Every Monday: your weekly report.
Built For Your Trade
You don't run a “service business.” You run an HVAC shop. Or a plumbing crew. Or a moving outfit.
The patterns that lose deals are different for every trade, and your report shows yours.
“It's 92° outside. Your phones haven't stopped ringing since 7am. The slow month wasn't a slow month — some of your emergency calls went to the agent who leads with the diagnostic fee.”
What you'll see in your first report
"$189 just to come look at it? That's higher than the last three places I called. Forget it."
- 01Diagnostic-fee handling per agent. Who leads with the fee. Who frames it after urgency. See the calls where it happened.
- 02Emergency vs. maintenance triage. Same-day no-AC calls, and who picked them up. Maintenance calls, and how long they ran.
- 03Replacement-vs-repair conversations. Which agents bring up replacement when it fits — and which never do.
- 04Heat-wave weeks. Each week's flagged calls, with the date, time and the AI's reason each didn't book.
“Your highest-margin jobs come in as 'something's leaking under the sink' — and your dispatcher books some of them on the wrong slot. Others get scared off by the trip charge.”
What you'll see in your first report
"It's been leaking for a few days, but the trip charge is $129 just to come look? I'll try a couple more places first."
- 01Trip-charge objection patterns. Which agents waive, which agents fold, which agents reframe. With the calls to check it.
- 02Emergency triage accuracy. Real leak emergencies booked as next-day. Dripping faucets routed to same-day. Each with the recording and who took it.
- 03Up-sell opportunities missed. Water heater age, repipe candidates, sewer-scope leads — surfaced from the calls where it came up and nobody followed.
- 04After-hours calls. The flagged overnight calls: who answered, and the reason each didn't book.
“Storm season hits and your phone team takes hundreds of calls in a week — but only a handful turn into inspections. Too many callers got 'we'll call you back to schedule' from an agent who couldn't tell a real lead from a tire-kicker.”
What you'll see in your first report
"I have hail damage, my insurance adjuster comes Friday — can someone be here before then?"
Agent: "We'll call you back to schedule." — the call ended with no inspection booked.
- 01Storm-chase qualification. Hail-real vs. ambulance-chaser. Insurance-pending vs. cash. Who's asking the right two questions to tell them apart.
- 02Insurance handling on the first call. Adjuster timing, claim status, deductible conversations — and which agents stall when it comes up.
- 03"We'll call you back" calls. Calls that ended with a callback promised instead of a booking.
- 04Inspection timing. Flagged calls where the caller needed someone sooner than you offered.
“Some of your callers are price-shopping for an August date they already locked in; others are real bookings — and your team is treating them the same.”
What you'll see in your first report
"We're closing on the 18th, the new place won't be ready until the 22nd — do you do short-term storage?"
Agent: "Uh, I'd have to check on that. Let me get your number."
- 01Price-shop vs. ready-to-book. Which callers are gathering quotes vs. ready to commit. The signal often comes early in the call — and your agents miss it.
- 02Date and inventory qualification. Specific moving date, square footage, stairs, long carries — what callers raised, and coaching where agents didn't pin it down.
- 03Add-ons left on the table. Storage, packing, supplies, piano/safe specialty — what came up on the call, with the caller's words and the agent's reply.
- 04Long-distance vs. local routing. Strengths and coaching by agent, on long-distance and local calls alike.
“Water-damage call at 11pm. Caller wants someone on-site in two hours. Your overnight tech says 'we can be there tomorrow morning.' Caller hangs up. That's a mitigation job going elsewhere.”
What you'll see in your first report
"My basement is flooded right now, water's still coming. Insurance said to call you. Can someone come tonight?"
Agent: "Our next opening is tomorrow at 9." Caller hung up.
- 01Emergency response commitments. What your agents are promising on speed, in their own words. The flagged calls where the caller needed someone sooner.
- 02Insurance and adjuster handling. Carrier names, deductibles, claim numbers — what callers raised on first contact, and coaching where agents didn't ask.
- 03Mitigation vs. reconstruction routing. Which leads get categorized correctly. Which don't — with the call and the transcript to check.
- 04After-hours quality. Who's on your overnight line and what they're really saying to a panicked homeowner.
“Your callers don't know what kind of bug it is. Your agents don't ask the right questions. So you send a routine pest tech for a termite job — and lose it to the company that asked two questions on the phone.”
What you'll see in your first report
"I keep seeing these little piles of what looks like sawdust around the windowsills, is that a thing?"
Agent: "Yeah we can come treat for ants, $129 starts service." — termite frass, never identified.
- 01Pest ID qualification on first call. Termite, bed bug, wildlife, general pest — which calls get triaged right and which get sent the wrong tech.
- 02Recurring service upsell missed. One-time calls where the agent never offered quarterly. Recurring revenue you didn't offer.
- 03Seasonal call surges. Spring mosquito surge. Fall rodent calls. Each week's flagged calls, with the date, time and the AI's reason each one didn't book.
- 04Specialty conversations. Termite warranties, real-estate inspections, commercial leads — flagged when they come up so they don't get lost in routine call flow.

Built for Home Services
We can hear a job slipping through the phone.
CallRecoup isn't a chatbot pointed at your calls. Our analysis is built specifically for home services phone calls — the trade vocabulary, the recurring objections, the dispatch patterns, the urgency signals. The same call that earns a flat “negative sentiment” label from off-the-shelf AI gets an agent-named, reason-tagged breakdown from us.
- 01Trade-specific pattern libraries. Every trade has its own playbook. HVAC pricing objections behave nothing like roofing storm-chase calls or moving date-shoppers.
- 02Reasons, not feelings. Sentiment alone is a vanity metric. Every flag comes with the reason the call didn't book and the call to check it.
- 03Built around your operation. Reports use your trade's vocabulary, your services and your agents' names.

The Math
What one recovered job could cover.
Here's a what-if with real public job values. It's an example, not a promise.
| Trade | Avg job (Angi) | What-if per 100 answered calls over a minute | Months of Starter it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| HVAC repair | $350 (source: Angi, opens in a new tab) | ≈ $350 | ≈ 3.6 |
| Roof repair | $1,174 (source: Angi, opens in a new tab) | ≈ $1,170 | ≈ 12.1 |
| Local move | $1,696 (source: Angi, opens in a new tab) | ≈ $1,700 | ≈ 17.5 |
3 AI-flagged calls per 100 answered calls over a minute (middle business, 32 businesses) × 1 in 3 won back (assumed) × job value.
