How does the missed call revenue calculator work?

Enter three numbers: how many calls your HVAC company misses per week, your average ticket value, and the share of those callers who would have booked. The calculator multiplies them out into a monthly and 12-month revenue estimate so you can see what missed-call traffic is worth before you invest in recovery.

What is a realistic recovery rate for missed HVAC calls?

Industry studies of small home-services businesses suggest 20% to 40% of missed callers will book if you reach them within a few minutes. The default 30% in this calculator is a midpoint. If your area has limited competition or you respond instantly via SMS, recovery climbs higher; if competitors answer first, it drops.

What counts as a missed call?

Any inbound call that doesn't connect to a live person. That includes voicemail, busy signals, ring-no-answer, and calls that abandoned before someone picked up. Most HVAC companies underestimate this by 50% or more — the calculator helps you see what the real number is worth.

Should I use my own ticket value or an industry average?

Always use your own. Average HVAC tickets vary from around $150 for a quick service call to $8,000+ for a system replacement. Pull your last 90 days of completed jobs and compute mean revenue per closed ticket. The closer your input, the more useful the projection.

Does this calculator account for seasonality?

It does not. The output is a steady-state monthly estimate. HVAC missed-call volume typically spikes 2x to 3x during the first heat wave of summer and the first freeze of winter — your worst weeks are usually 2–4x the average. If you're sizing budget around a peak, multiply the calculator output by 1.5 to 2 for that month.

Why $149/month for the actual recovery service?

It's flat-rate so the math is simple: if just one missed-call recovery turns into a job during the month, the service pays for itself. Most HVAC owners using missed-call text-back recover 5+ jobs per month, which makes the ROI obvious on the calculator output.
