What a night call sounds like
No heat
The house is cold and the system will not run. Afterly flags it for tonight and texts the address and what the caller described. It does not diagnose the unit.
No cool
The same intake on a hot night. Afterly marks it tonight when the caller says the house will not cool, and leaves a filter question for morning.
Tune-up or a new system
A maintenance visit or a replacement quote waits until morning. Afterly does not book a sales appointment on its own.
Flagged for tonight
- No heat
- No cool
- Gas smell
- System that will not run
Left for morning
- Tune-up
- Thermostat question
- Quote for a new system
