Built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies across Dallas–Fort Worth.

Answers in one ring
Books straight to your calendar
You keep your number
You don't change anything.
- Keep your number.
- Keep answering your phone.
- Ringside only picks up what you'd have missed.
Your number stays on your trucks, your signs, and your Google listing. Calls ring to you first, exactly like today. If you don't pick up, they come to Ringside instead of voicemail.
And it's running by dinner.
- One form. Ten minutes.
- We build it the same day.
- One code on your phone. Two minutes.
Setup is about three hours start to finish, and roughly twenty minutes of that is yours. We write the script, set up the number, connect the calendar, and test it before a single customer hears it.

Missed calls a month

Walking out the door / month

Walking out the door / year

Assumption: 4.33 weeks a month, and a conservative 40% of the people who couldn't reach you would have booked a job. Most contractors find the real number is higher — we'd rather under-promise.
Ringside costs $397/month.
You'd be up $5,145 a month.
Tuesday, 7:40 PM
Without Ringside
A homeowner's AC quits. He calls you at 7:40. It rings four times and goes to voicemail. He doesn't leave one — he goes back to Google and calls the next company on the list. You find out you lost the job by never hearing about it.
With Ringside
Same call. Ringside picks up on the first ring, works out it's not an emergency, takes his name, number, and address, offers him Thursday at 8 or Thursday at 1, and books it. Your phone buzzes with the details before you've finished dinner.
How it works
The call rings through
Your line forwards to Ringside when you can't pick up — or on every call, if that's what you want.
It figures out the job
What's broken, how urgent it is, where they are — then books the appointment straight onto your calendar.
You get a text
Name, number, address, and the problem. Land on your phone the second the call ends.
What it actually does
Answers 24/7 — or after-hours only
Your choice, changed any time.
Knows an emergency from a tune-up
It triages before it books.
Books straight onto your calendar
Real open windows, not guesses.
Texts you every lead
The moment the call ends.
Never quotes a price it shouldn't
It only says what you told it to say.
Hands off to a human
When someone insists on a person, it transfers.
It knows when to stop.
If a caller mentions a gas smell, a carbon monoxide alarm, or active flooding, Ringside does not try to be clever and it does not put them on your schedule. It tells the caller to hang up and call 911 or their utility, ends the call, and alerts you immediately with everything it heard.
An emergency is never booked as an appointment. That's a hard rule, not a setting.
Live by dinner.
Setup takes one afternoon. Most of it is us.
10 minutes
You fill out one form. Your hours, your service area, your prices, the questions customers always ask.
Same day
We build it. Your receptionist is written around your business, not a template.
30 minutes
We test it together. You call in and try to break it before any customer does.
2 minutes
You turn on call forwarding. One code on your phone. That's the only thing we can't do for you.
Total: about three hours, and roughly twenty minutes of it is yours.
Who does what.
We handle
- Writing your receptionist's script
- Setting up your phone number
- Connecting your calendar
- Testing every call type
- Tuning it after it goes live
- Answering when you call us
You handle
- Filling out one form
- Dialing one forwarding code
A real, routine call
Tuesday afternoon. AC out, nobody's in danger.
Thanks for calling Summit Heating and Air, this call is recorded. What's going on today?
My AC quit sometime last night. House is warm but it's not an emergency.
Sorry about that. Is anybody in the home who's medically at risk from the heat?
No, we're fine.
Good. Can I get your name and the best number to reach you?
Dana Whitlock, 817-555-0148.
And the service address?
3820 Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth.
Got it. Any noise, or did it just stop cooling?
Outside unit hums, fan doesn't spin.
That's helpful — the tech will know what to bring. Let me check the calendar. I have tomorrow at 9 AM or tomorrow at 1 PM.
Nine works.
You're booked, Dana — tomorrow at 9 AM at 3820 Camp Bowie. There's an $89 diagnostic fee, applied to the repair. You'll get a confirmation text. Anything else?
Nope. Thanks.
