HVAC Answering Service for Irving Shops

Irving sits at the center of the DFW Metroplex, bounded by Loop 12, Highway 114, and 183, with a mix of aging mid-century housing stock in central Irving and corporate-residential towers in Las Colinas. When the first 95°F day hits in May or an August heat dome settles over Dallas County, your phone rings nonstop—and every no-cool call you miss goes to the next contractor in four minutes.

Narlo answers those missed calls via SMS within 10 seconds, sounds like your dispatcher, qualifies the job, and books it directly into Jobber or Housecall Pro. You pay $40 per booked appointment. Nothing if no booking. Hook, line, and booked.

Why Irving hvac shops lose calls

Highway 114 service zones kill callback time

A 3-truck Irving shop typically runs jobs from Coppell to Farmers Branch, University Hills to Valley Ranch. When a no-cool call comes in from a Hackberry Creek homeowner at 6pm and you're finishing a compressor swap in Grapevine, the 18-minute drive back across Highway 114 means you can't call back until after 7. By then the homeowner has booked the shop that texted in two minutes. Narlo texts within 10 seconds from the number they called, qualifies whether it's a capacitor or a coil, and either books the evening slot or schedules tomorrow morning. The customer in Hackberry Creek sees a reply before they scroll to the next Google result.

August heat dome surge across Oncor territory

The August 2023 heat dome pushed every neighborhood from South Irving to Las Colinas above 105°F for nine consecutive days. Oncor's grid held, but every 1980s builder-grade condenser in MacArthur Park and Cottonwood Creek failed within the same 72-hour window. A solo owner-operator took 40 calls between Thursday and Saturday; 14 went to voicemail because he was on a roof in Old Irving or stuck in a Las Colinas attic. Narlo picks up those 14 via SMS, asks the right questions—upstairs unit, downstairs, how long no cool—and books the ones that can't wait into the next available truck. You don't lose margin to callback lag when the entire Oncor service area is calling at once.

Las Colinas corporate-residential dispatch math during business hours

A Valley Ranch townhome calls at 10am on a Tuesday while your dispatcher runs permit paperwork to the Irving Water office. Your lead tech is finishing a maintenance call near the Mandalay Canal in Las Colinas. The homeowner works from home, saw the thermostat stuck at 78°F, and needs someone before lunch. Narlo sends the SMS while your truck is still in the Las Colinas corridor, books the lunchtime window into Jobber, and the homeowner never opens a second browser tab. If that call sits in voicemail until your dispatcher gets back from Farmers Branch, they book the shop that replied at 10:03 from Coppell.

Loop 12 after-hours calls during spring hail season

Spring hail across Irving means roof damage in South Irving and University Hills, and condensers take shrapnel from Coppell to Carrollton. A homeowner near Loop 12 calls your number at 9pm Sunday after a Saturday storm, hears voicemail, and moves on. Narlo answers via SMS within 10 seconds, confirms the outdoor unit won't start, and books Monday morning in Old Irving or MacArthur Park. When your phone rings during Sunday dinner near Toyota Music Factory or you're driving back from a Euless service call on Highway 183, the text thread is already open and the job is on the board. You don't staff a night dispatcher to own hail-season surges across the DFW Airport corridor.

Irving HVAC owner FAQ

What does Narlo cost for an Irving HVAC shop?+

You pay $40 per booked appointment. Nothing if no booking. There's no monthly retainer, no per-text fee, and no setup cost. If Narlo texts a homeowner in Valley Ranch and qualifies the call but the customer decides to wait until next week, you pay nothing. If Narlo books a no-cool job into your Jobber calendar and the truck rolls, that's $40. Typical Irving shop with 2–4 trucks sees 6–12 bookings a week during summer, which pencils to $240–$480 for jobs you would've lost to voicemail or callback lag.

Does Narlo integrate with my CRM?+

Yes. Narlo books directly into Jobber or Housecall Pro. When a text thread with a Las Colinas homeowner ends in a confirmed appointment, that job appears on your dispatch board with the customer's name, address, phone, and the issue they described—capacitor, no cool upstairs, thermostat blank, whatever they said. Your dispatcher opens Jobber in the morning and sees the Monday 9am slot filled, the Tuesday 2pm filled, the after-hours emergency already assigned to the on-call truck. No re-entry, no phone tag, no second system.

Can Narlo handle after-hours calls during a freeze like Feb 2021?+

Yes. The Feb 2021 freeze across Dallas County meant burst coils and frozen condensers from Irving to Farmers Branch, and every shop's phone rang at midnight, 2am, Sunday morning. Narlo answers those texts in 10 seconds whether it's 11pm on a weeknight or 6am Sunday after a hard freeze hits Loop 12 and Highway 183. The SMS asks if the unit is running, if they have heat at all, and whether they can wait until morning or need someone tonight. If it's an emergency in Coppell or MacArthur Park, Narlo books your on-call truck. If they can wait in Valley Ranch or South Irving, it goes into the next morning's route across the Oncor service area.
