Call Catcher by K2 Call Desk, for local trades
Call Catcher answers the calls HVAC and plumbing shops miss, day or night
We also serve other local trades, like roofers and electricians.
You can't grab the phone from a roof or a crawl space. Call Catcher picks up, takes the caller's name, number, and reason so you can call them back, and tells callers in danger to hang up and call 911. Keep your number.
- $99 7-day pilot
- Keep your number
- Says up front it's an AI
- No long-term contract
- Month to month
Missed calls are missed jobs
Small shops are busy doing the work. Here's how often calls to trade businesses actually reach a person.
of calls to HVAC companies were answered by a live person.[1]
of calls were answered by a person across home services overall.[1]
for plumbing, the best-answered trade in the report. That still leaves about 1 in 4 calls.[1]
of callers who get sent to voicemail leave a message.[2]
Voicemail isn't a safety net. Fewer than 3 in 100 callers sent to voicemail leave a message. The rest are gone.
What it does
Plain and simple. Here's what it does.
Says up front it's an AI

If a caller describes danger, like a gas smell, smoke or sparks, it tells callers in danger to hang up and call 911.

If you have a 24-hour line, urgent callers get that number.

Free: your local search & AI answers snapshot
Do Google and AI tools have your shop's facts right? We check your name, hours, phone and services across your website, your Google profile and AI answers, and send you a one-page list of anything that doesn't match. Free, no obligation.
Why it matters: in a September 2026 BrightLocal study of 200,000 local search prompts, Google Maps showed a given business 66% of the time, but ChatGPT and Google's AI answers showed it only about a third of the time (32–38%). The AI tools leaned heavily on businesses' own websites and Google profiles.[3]
