Cost breakdown
How much does an HVAC
answering service cost?
The cost depends on how the service charges: per minute, per call, by monthly plan, or per booked job. VoiceBridg costs $25 per booked job, with no setup fee and no contract. To compare fairly, count all your fees, then divide by the jobs actually booked in a month.

How to compare them fairly
- 1Take one typical month: your calls, their average length, and how many become jobs.
- 2Work out each provider's total for that month, with every fee included.
- 3Divide each total by the jobs booked. That's your cost per booked job.
- 4Compare that number, rather than the headline rate.
What VoiceBridg costs
$25 per booked job, pay per use. There is no setup fee and no contract. A booked job is a call that ends with an appointment on your schedule, so 10 booked jobs cost $250 and 40 cost $1,000.
As an example, on a $350 job, $25 is about 7% of the job. Use your own average job value to see what it means for you.

Not always. A low rate that only takes messages can cost more per booked job than a higher rate that books the job. Compare the cost per booked job.
