Why Home Service Businesses Lose Calls

You're not missing calls because you don't care. You're missing them because you're doing the work. Here's what that costs.

62%

Of Contractor Calls Go Unanswered

When you're on a job, under a sink, or up on a roof — your phone rings and you can't answer. Most callers don't leave voicemail. They call the next name on Google instead.

85%

Of Callers Who Get Voicemail Don't Leave a Message

The average person abandons voicemail instantly. If you don't answer live, that lead is almost certainly gone — no callback, no job, no revenue.

78%

Of Customers Hire the First Contractor Who Answers

Home service is a winner-take-all phone game. The first professional voice a caller hears almost always gets the booking. Orbit makes sure that voice is yours.

$180–$15K

Revenue Lost Per Missed Call by Trade

An unanswered HVAC emergency call: $180–$500. A missed roofing job post-storm: $8,000–$15,000. A plumbing remodel lead: $2,000–$6,000. Orbit costs $96/month.

What Makes Orbit Different for Home Services

Most answering services take a message. Orbit triages urgency, captures the right lead details for your trade, and sends you a text in seconds — for every call.

Seasonal Surge Ready

HVAC peaks in July. Roofing peaks after storms. Landscaping explodes in April. Orbit handles unlimited concurrent calls — every inbound caller gets answered no matter how many calls come in at once. Your bill stays $96.

🚨

Emergency Triage Built In

"No heat", "burst pipe", "no power" — Orbit flags these as URGENT and sends an immediate high-priority SMS to your phone. Routine service requests get a separate, standard alert. You always know what needs attention right now.

🎓

Trade-Specific Training

Orbit knows HVAC terminology, plumbing fixtures, electrical panel brands, roofing materials, and landscaping services. Callers get professional responses that reflect your industry — not a generic script from a call center.

Instant SMS to Your Phone

Every call ends with a text to you — caller name, phone number, address, service needed, and urgency level. Review it from the job site and decide when to call back. No email log-in. No portal. Just a text.

How It Works

Forward your number. Orbit goes live. You focus on the job.

Forward Your Number

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you forward your first call.

Does Orbit work for businesses that cover multiple trades?
Yes. Many home service businesses offer multiple services — HVAC + plumbing, or electrical + general contracting. Orbit can be configured to handle all of them. Callers are asked what type of service they need, and Orbit applies the right triage rules and lead questions for that trade. You get a single SMS feed for all your calls, clearly labeled by service type.
How does urgency detection work for emergency calls?
Orbit is trained to recognize emergency language specific to each trade. For HVAC: "no heat", "no AC", "gas smell". For plumbing: "burst pipe", "flooding", "no water". For electrical: "no power", "sparks", "dangerous". When these are detected, Orbit flags the call as URGENT and sends a high-priority SMS immediately — separate from your regular lead alerts — so you know to respond right away without scrolling through a queue.
How long does it take to set Orbit up?
Most home service businesses are live within 24 hours of signing up. The setup process takes about 2 minutes — you tell us your company name, service area, and the trades you cover, then forward your business number to Orbit. No hardware, no IT department, no technical setup required.
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes. You keep your existing number and forward calls to Orbit when you can't answer — or always, if you prefer. Orbit answers as your business. Callers hear your company name and a professional greeting. Number porting is also available if you want Orbit to be your primary number going forward.
