No hardware, no IT project, no training period. If you can fill out a form about your own business, you can set up OnCrew.
Tell OnCrew about your business
Your services, service area, hours, and how you price the common jobs. OnCrew learns it once and never forgets a detail on a call.
Point your number at OnCrew
Keep the number your customers know and forward it, or take a fresh local number from us. Either way, two taps in your phone settings.
OnCrew picks up. You get jobs.
It answers, qualifies the caller, books the visit onto your calendar, and emails you a summary with the transcript. Urgent calls reach you immediately.
It is 6:29 PM on Memorial Day. A water heater is leaking onto the floor.
Voicemail loses that customer forever. OnCrew answered, got the problem, the address, and the callback number, and logged the job for an ASAP callback. This is that call, word for word, with the names and details changed.
You decide what counts as an emergency and who gets woken up. Everything else books politely for business hours, and you read about it over coffee.
“Well, I'm having a problem with my hot water heater. It's leaking water on the floor.”
“Oh, got it. Let's get someone in touch with you on that. Can I get your name and best callback number, and what's the service address?”
“My name is Walt Carey. The number is five five five, zero one nine four. And the address is six four Cedar Hollow Road, in Fairview.”
Name, callback number, and address read back and confirmed with the caller. Job logged for the team: leaking water heater, wants someone out as soon as possible.
New job: Water heater leaking on the floor. Walt C., 64 Cedar Hollow Rd. Wants someone out ASAP. Callback number on file.
Cheaper than an answering service. Smarter than voicemail.
A human answering service runs $200 to $500 a month and still just takes messages. Voicemail is free, but callers who hit it tend to dial the next shop on the list.
Voicemail
What most shops run today
- ✕Never picks up. Records a message, if the caller stays on.
- ✕Books nothing. The job waits until you call back.
- ✕Knows nothing about your services or prices.
- ✕A 2 AM emergency sounds exactly like a robocall.
Human answering service
The traditional upgrade
- ~Picks up 24/7, with hold times when they are busy.
- ✕Takes a message instead of booking the job.
- ~Reads from a script. Off-script questions get a shrug.
- ~Pages whoever is on the list, urgent or not.

Multi-Truck is built for shops with crews on the road: separate lines for each location or crew, and routing rules that page the tech who is actually on call.
Per-tech on-call routing

Multiple lines and locations
Up to 5 AI phone numbers on one account, so each location or crew keeps its own line and its own setup.

$349/mo with 1,000 included calls, then $0.99 per call. Two-ring answering on every line.
The questions everyone asks.
What happens if I go over my included calls?
Each extra call is $0.99, billed at the end of the month. No surprise tier jumps, no service cutoff mid-month. Your line keeps answering.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Keep the number your customers already know and forward it to OnCrew, or take a new local number from us. Either takes a couple of minutes.
What if a caller really needs a person?
OnCrew takes a detailed message and emails it to you instantly with the transcript, or transfers urgent calls straight to your cell. You set the rules for when each happens.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from your dashboard in one click, no phone call required. And every new account is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What is the best AI answering service for contractors?
OnCrew is an AI answering service configured for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing contractors. It answers 24/7 in your company's name, captures urgent-call details, and sends your team a handoff for follow-up. Plans start at $49/month with a 14-day free trial.
How much does an AI answering service for contractors cost?
OnCrew starts at $49/month with 100 included calls. Pro is $149/month for 400 calls, and Multi-Truck is $349/month for 1,000 calls. Each extra call is $0.99. Compare that against per-minute live answering quotes for your own call volume.
What happens during the 14-day free trial?
OnCrew sets up your AI receptionist with your business name, hours, services, and service area during signup, and your line can be live in minutes. You review captured urgent-call details, appointment requests, and transcripts. No credit card is required to start; you add a payment method only if you decide to continue, and you can cancel anytime before then.
Can callers tell they're talking to AI?
OnCrew is configured with your brand voice, trade, service area, and disclosure preferences, so you decide how the agent introduces itself. Call the demo line or run the web demo to judge the caller experience yourself.
