For Heating & Gas Engineers

Never lose a boiler job to a missed call again

When you’re under a boiler, bleeding a system or mid gas-safety check, you can’t stop to grab the phone. Call2SMS texts every missed caller back within seconds, finds out the fault and the address, and drops a ready-to-quote lead on your phone.

The problem

Every missed call is a job walking away

Heating work means your hands are full and your phone’s in the van. A family with no hot water, a landlord chasing a gas safety certificate, or a homeowner whose boiler died overnight rings — and if you can’t pick up, they don’t leave a voicemail. With a cold house, they call the next engineer on Google straight away.

Call2SMS closes that gap. The instant a call rings out, the caller gets a friendly text in your business name. The AI asks what’s wrong, whether there’s heat or hot water, and where they are — then sends you the full lead so you can quote between jobs instead of losing it to a competitor.

The smarter option

The modern alternative to a heating engineer answering service

A traditional answering service puts a call centre between you and your customers, charges per call or per minute, and ties you into a contract — and they still can’t book the job for you.

Call2SMS does the job that matters: it makes sure no missed caller is ignored. Every unanswered call gets an instant, on-brand text, a real two-way SMS conversation captures the enquiry, and the lead lands on your phone — 24/7, for a fixed low monthly price, with no contract. See why it’s the smarter answering service alternative, or compare every option on our cost comparison page.

Yes. You set the questions during setup, so the AI can ask the make, model, error code and symptoms — everything you need to arrive with the right part.
