Demo

A real, short call

A caller reports no heating. Secra checks location, urgency, and preferred appointment time — then sends your team a structured brief, not a vague voicemail.

Outcome

The exact brief your heating & gas engineers receives

Every call becomes structured text — WhatsApp, SMS, email, and in-app — so your engineer rings back with postcode, urgency, and preferred time already in hand.

What do missed calls actually cost?

If you miss 12 calls a week and only 25% were high-value enquiries for heating and gas firms, what does that cost?

Illustrative only — adjust to match your business.

Estimated lost revenue

£1,350 / week

Based on 3 high-value missed calls per week at £450 each.

What Secra handles

Six jobs your phone line should do for heating and gas firms

No-heating emergencies

Collects boiler make, error codes, and postcode — then flags priority no-heating calls and connects to your on-call Gas Safe engineer.

Gas smell triage

Follows your safety script: ventilate, avoid switches, and escalate to your duty engineer while directing callers to the National Gas Emergency line when needed.

Annual boiler services

Books service visits from your live calendar, captures appliance details, and sends confirmation to the customer and assigned engineer.

FAQs from your knowledge

Answers coverage areas, accreditations, typical response times, and pricing policies from documents you upload — not a generic script.

Call routing and handoff

Routes by urgency, business hours, and category. Hunt groups, simultaneous ring, or AI-selected targets — you define the rules.

Follow-ups and notifications

Post-call summaries by email, SMS, and in-app. Emergencies and complaints always notify the right staff member.

Trust

Clear escalation rules — not a black box

You define what happens for emergencies, uncertain answers, and human hand-offs. Secra follows your rules and documents every step.

Emergencies

Burst pipes, no heating in winter, lock-outs, and live faults follow your rules — safe shut-off advice, location and urgency captured, then transfer to on-call or an immediate SMS/WhatsApp to duty staff.

Uncertain answers

If Secra is not confident from your knowledge — pricing that needs surveying, availability it cannot see, or a policy you have not uploaded — it says so, captures details, and schedules a human callback. It does not invent quotes.

Human hand-off

Callers can ask for a person at any time. Secra summarises what they need and transfers to the right mobile or office line — with the full conversation attached so your team picks up in context.

FAQ

Questions from heating and gas firms

What happens if someone reports a gas smell?

The AI follows your safety script: ventilate, do not operate switches, call the National Gas Emergency line if appropriate. Your on-call engineer is notified immediately with caller details.

Can it book annual boiler services?

Yes. Connect your calendar and the AI offers slots, captures boiler make and model, and sends confirmations to the customer and assigned engineer.

Does it quote for new boiler installations?

It captures property type, current system, and timeline — then logs a structured quote request. Fixed prices come from your uploaded guides; surveys are booked, not guessed.

How do you handle busy winter periods?

AI reception scales instantly. Track transcripts during peak weeks to see which enquiries convert and refine your knowledge base and routing rules.
