For home service businesses

Answering service and back office for home service businesses

Refo answers every call and text 24/7 for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, pest control and other home service businesses. We book jobs into your schedule, give prices for standard work, follow up on open quotes, send reminders and review requests, and chase unpaid invoices. Behind that, we keep your books and payroll, so a lean team can take on more jobs.

Questions

Common questions

Do you work in ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber?

We work in your field service software where it gives us access, and confirm the setup during the audit.

What happens with emergency calls at night?

We follow your on-call rules: urgent jobs go straight to your on-call tech, and everything else is booked for the next available slot.

Can you give customers prices?

Yes, for standard jobs from your price book. Custom or diagnostic work is booked for your estimator.

Can you handle our busy season?

Yes. Coverage scales with your call volume, so peak weeks don't mean missed calls.

Which trades do you work with?

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, pest control, garage doors, appliance repair, lawn and pool, and similar businesses.
