The phone after hours
What an Antioch phone should answer after hours
The “plumber antioch” results page put the Map Pack at the top when we checked, and that puts the phone number in front of the customer before any website loads. Lithium Marketing runs an AI receptionist for Antioch service businesses that answers every call, books the job, texts the caller and transfers the ones that need a person. It costs $179 a month, with no contract and no setup fee.
Contra Costa County has 324 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. If your line rings out, the customer has other numbers on the same page. The receptionist answers with your services, your hours and your service area, then follows the rules you set.
What a missed call costs
What a missed Antioch call is worth
The cost-per-click table beside this section shows what the click costs before the call rings: a garage door click in Antioch averages $39.10. A call that rings out after hours wastes that click, which is why the receptionist answers every one, whatever the hour.
The receptionist’s knowledge base holds your services, hours, service area and the questions callers ask most, and it answers from that.

The housing it answers for
Who is calling, and what they ask first
In Contra Costa County, 68.0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied and 53.2% were built before 1980. Older houses are a reason to load answers about repairs and replacements, so the knowledge base should carry your words, not a generic script.
Antioch’s summers are hot and dry, and the delta keeps daytime highs a few degrees cooler than the valley towns. If a hot week fills the schedule with no-cooling calls, the receptionist answers them the same way at 8 p.m. as at 8 a.m.

Repair calls and project calls
The trades whose calls cannot wait
Repair trades carry the urgent calls. The county’s electrical contractors number 310, and a failed panel at 9 p.m. is a call you want answered, not sent to voicemail.
The county has 180 painting contractors and 231 new home builders. If the call is about a project, the start date may be weeks away, so the line should ask for the project address and the rough start date, and the estimate call has what it needs.

Setup
What it takes to switch the phone on
Every answer and transfer rule gets your sign-off before the line goes live.
List the calls that need a person
Bring the calls you get now, including the ones that need someone right away, and we write the rule for each kind.
Write the answers callers hear
Your services, service area, hours and common questions become the answers the receptionist gives, in your words and your voice.
Connect the calendar and the transfers
Bookings go to the calendar or CRM your team uses, once that connection is tested, and a transfer rings the number your team picks.
Test the line before it goes live
You call the line yourself and hear it handle a real question, then change any answer that sends a caller the wrong way.
What the AI receptionist does on every call
The same eight parts go into every AI receptionist setup, wherever the business is.
- Answers every call, 24/7
- Qualifies the lead
- Books the appointment
- Answers common questions
- Sends follow-up texts
- Captures every detail
- Transfers to a real person when needed
- Connects to your CRM and calendar
Proof
AI on two sets of service phones
The garage door company Smart Doors LLC had Lithium build its website first and later added the AI receptionist that answers its phones. Beside it, the card shows a separate plumbing client that needed a custom AI phone system.

FAQ
What Antioch owners ask before an AI answers
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What happens when someone asks for a person?
A transfer goes to whoever you name, and your rules decide when it happens. A flooded basement, an open job or a caller who asks for a manager can all be sent to your team; every other call gets booked or followed up by text.
How does the receptionist compare with hiring someone?
A human receptionist usually costs $3,500 or more a month. The AI line is $179, with no contract, and it answers at night and on weekends when one hire would be off.
How quickly can the line go live?
The line is usually live in days. Send your call rules and calendar access, and Lithium builds the answers, tests the line and hands it over.
Who answers a burst-pipe call at midnight?
It answers, then follows the plan you wrote for urgent calls. That can mean ringing the on-call tech, holding the first opening or sending the details by text.
Which admin tasks can be automated?
Follow-up is the usual starting point: texts after an estimate, review requests, the CRM entry and the admin around a finished job. A custom build is scoped on a free discovery call and usually runs one to two weeks.

Call the demo line and hear the receptionist
The demo line below is answered by the receptionist itself; call it and ask what a customer would ask. A co-founder will then go through your own call rules and the handoffs to your team on a short video call.
