After-hours, weekend and holiday call answering for home-service businesses
Calls that come in after 5 p.m., on a Sunday or on a holiday usually go to voicemail, and most callers don't leave one. They call the next company. VoltIQ's AI receptionist answers every one, sends emergencies to whoever is on call and books the rest.
Home-service businesses that close at 5, take Sundays off, or can't answer during holidays and storms.

What happens when someone calls at 9 p.m. or on a Sunday
- It answers in your company's name, any hour, including nights, Sundays and holidays.
- Emergencies reach whoever is on call. You set the rules (no AC in August, an active leak, storm damage) and it texts your on-call person the details right away.
- Routine jobs get booked into your next open slot, with a confirmation and reminders for the customer.
- Everything lands in your CRM with a summary, so the morning starts with a list of booked jobs, not a voicemail box.
Only want help after hours?
- Forward your line only when nobody picks up, or only outside business hours. Your team keeps answering during the day.
- Set different rules for nights, weekends and holidays, and change them anytime.
- Keep your current 727, 813, 941 or any US number. Customers call the number they already know.
No per-hour staffing, no overtime
- The AI receptionist comes with Launch ($497/month) and Growth Stack ($595/month). $0 setup, month-to-month.
- Phone minutes and texts are usage-based. We go over the rates with you before you go live.

Questions owners ask
Does it really answer on Sundays and holidays?
Yes. The AI receptionist answers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including Christmas morning and the day after a hurricane, and it can take several calls at once.
Can it reach my on-call tech for an emergency?
Yes. You decide what counts as urgent. It texts your on-call person the caller's details and the problem right away and tells the caller when to expect a call back. Everything else is booked into normal hours.
Will callers know it's an AI?
It introduces itself as your company's virtual receptionist and never pretends to be a person. Most callers care that someone answered, took the details and booked them.
What if I only want it after hours?
That's a common setup. Forward your number only after hours, or only when nobody answers. Your team handles daytime calls as usual.
How much does after-hours answering cost?
It's included in Launch ($497/month) and Growth Stack ($595/month) with $0 setup and no contract. Phone minutes and texts are usage-based and quoted before you go live.
