AI Receptionist, AI voice agents, and automation that handle calls, bookings, and follow-up running 24/7, so you scale without hiring or missing leads.
AI Phone Answering Service
24/7 Call Answering for Contractors
Your phone is your business. Every call that rings out unanswered is a job going straight to the next contractor on Google. LeadsKing deploys a custom AI receptionist for home service contractors across the USA and Canada that answers every inbound call in real time, qualifying the lead and booking the appointment directly into your calendar, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail. No missed calls. No lost revenue.
We are based in Markham, Ontario, and we serve HVAC, roofing, plumbing, solar, and home service contractors from Toronto to Texas. This is not a call center or a phone menu. It is a human-sounding AI voice agent trained specifically on your business, your services, your pricing, your service area, and your booking process. We also serve contractors across Canada. See our AI Receptionist Canada page.
Scale Up Your Business
AI Answering Service for Contractors
Why Missed Calls Cost $1,200 Per Call
Roughly 1 in 4 calls to home service contractors go unanswered every single day. Technicians are on jobs. Staff is stretched thin. The phone rings at 9 PM on a Friday when nobody is there. Each missed call costs an average of $1,200 in lost revenue, and the homeowner who called is already dialing your competitor before your voicemail even finishes playing. Pair your AI receptionist with our automated lead follow-up system for complete coverage.
LeadsKing’s AI answering service for contractors changes that completely. Our AI picks up every call within two rings, handles the conversation naturally, qualifies the lead, and schedules the appointment, without involving a single member of your team. Whether it is a routine HVAC maintenance booking in Toronto or an emergency roof inspection call at midnight in Texas, every call gets the same fast, professional response.
24/7 AI Receptionist
AI Call Answering Service
Most contractor businesses lose their biggest opportunities after hours, when your team is gone, but motivated homeowners are still searching. LeadsKing’s 24/7 AI receptionist covers every hour your team cannot, with the same professional quality at 2 AM as it delivers at 2 PM.

How The AI Receptionist Works
When a call comes in, the AI answers within two rings, greets the caller using your business name, and immediately takes control of the conversation. It listens, understands the caller’s needs, and adapts its responses in real time, not from a rigid script but from the knowledge we have built specifically around your business and call flows.
• Greets every caller professionally using your business name and tone
• Asks qualifying questions to understand urgency, service type, and location
• Books appointments directly into your calendar with real-time availability
• Handles FAQs about pricing, service areas, availability, and next steps
• Transfers emergencies to your on-call team via live handoff or SMS alert
AI Receptionist Service
What the AI Receptionist Handles
LeadsKing’s AI receptionist is trained on your specific call types, not a generic contractor template. Every response is drawn from the actual knowledge we build around your services during onboarding, which is why it sounds exactly like a trained member of your front desk team.
• New customer inbound calls qualification and booking end-to-end
• After-hours and weekend calls have full functionality, not a reduced service
• Emergency calls, urgency triage, and real-time escalation to your team
• Service area questions, confirms coverage before booking
• Pricing and availability FAQs, drawn from your actual business details
HVAC AI receptionist
AI Receptionist for HVAC Contractors
HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and solar contractors all face the same problem: their phones ring hardest when their teams are busiest. We configure every AI receptionist specifically for the trade it serves, because an HVAC emergency call needs different handling than a roofing estimate booking.
AI Receptionist For HVAC
AI Receptionist For Plumbing
HVAC and plumbing emergencies do not follow business hours. A homeowner with a broken furnace at 10 PM or a burst pipe on a Sunday morning needs to reach someone immediately, and if they cannot, they hang up and call the next company.
LeadsKing's AI receptionist handles HVAC and plumbing emergency calls around the clock, triages urgency in real time, and either books the appointment or escalates to your on-call technician without missing a beat.
• After-hours emergency call handling, available every hour of the year
• Urgency triage identifies emergencies and routes them correctly every time
• Peak-season overflow, handles unlimited concurrent calls during busy periods
• Maintenance and tune-up booking, seasonal scheduling handled automatically
AI Receptionist for Roofing
AI Receptionist for Solar
Roofing and solar contractors face a different challenge: volume spikes. After a storm, every roofing contractor in a market gets flooded simultaneously. Solar companies running active ad campaigns get surges of inbound calls that overwhelm any human receptionist within minutes. LeadsKing's AI handles these volume spikes without flinching, answering every call instantly and booking estimates before your competitors have even responded.
• Storm-surge call handling: every call answered instantly, no queue
• Free estimate booking, captures caller details, and schedules on-site visits
• Insurance claim inquiries, handled with confidence from your trained AI
• Solar consultation scheduling, homeowner qualification, and appointment booking
The Automation
Cycle
AI Receptionist for Small Business
AI phone receptionist | AI vs Human Receptionist
Hiring a full-time receptionist in North America costs between $35,000 and $55,000 per year. They work set hours, handle one call at a time, take sick days, and eventually leave. For small contractor businesses, that cost is not sustainable, and the coverage gaps it creates are just as damaging as having no receptionist at all. Here is how LeadsKing AI compares:
AI voice receptionist
Limits of a Human Receptionist
• Works 8 AM to 5 PM; every after-hours call goes to voicemail
• One call at a time; hold queues during storms and peak season
• Sick days, vacation, and turnover, gaps you cannot control
• Quality varies depending on the day and the person
• $35,000 to $55,000 per year plus benefits and retraining
• Cannot scale during volume spikes without additional hires

How We Set Up Your AI Receptionist
Discovery and Training
We start with a detailed onboarding call where we learn your business, your services, your coverage area (whether that is the Greater Toronto Area, all of Ontario, or markets across the USA), your call types, your pricing, and how you want different situations handled. This is what makes your AI sound and perform like your actual team.
Build and Integration
We build and train your AI voice agent, connect it to your existing phone number, integrate your CRM and calendar, and configure all call flows and escalation paths. We work with GoHighLevel, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Salesforce, Zoho, and custom platforms. You do not touch a single technical setting. Setup is complete within 5 to 7 business days.
Live and Booking
Before going live, we run your AI through realistic test scenarios, emergency calls, routine bookings, pricing questions, and off-script conversations. We only approve a launch when every scenario is handled correctly. From the moment your AI goes live, every call is answered and every booking lands in your calendar automatically.
Built On Value,
Not Empty Promises
Zero Setup Risk
We build your baseline automations completely risk-free before you commit.
Full Transparency
Keep 100% ownership of your workflows. No hidden locks or contracts.
