How does the dispatch system handle emergency calls during peak demand?+
During peak demand, the dispatch system shows real-time status of every technician — current location, job progress, estimated completion time, and next scheduled appointment. Emergency calls are prioritized based on severity — a complete system failure in extreme weather ranks higher than a thermostat issue. The system identifies the best available technician based on proximity, skills, and current workload. If all technicians are occupied, the system provides an estimated wait time and can offer the client a callback scheduling option. For maintenance agreement members, priority scheduling moves them ahead of non-agreement callers during high-demand periods — a benefit that helps sell agreements.
Can the system track equipment service history for each client property?+
Yes. Each property in the system has an equipment profile that records every HVAC component — furnace, air conditioner, heat pump, thermostat, humidifier — with make, model, serial number, installation date, and warranty status. Every repair and maintenance visit updates the equipment record with work performed, parts replaced, and system readings. Over time, this history reveals patterns: a system requiring frequent capacitor replacements may have an electrical issue, or rising repair costs on an aging system clearly support a replacement recommendation. Technicians see this complete history on their mobile app before arriving at the property.
