Harsh winters and hot, humid summers — full HVAC spectrum demand. Chicago HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors can't afford wasted truck rolls — every callback costs $450-$650 and burns hours you'll never get back. SpotFix gives your technicians the full picture before they leave the shop.
No app for customers · No training for dispatchers · Works in 2 minutes
Chicagoland has nearly 10 million residents across a metro that stretches into three states — the service area is massive, and windshield time is the enemy. Wasted truck rolls don't just cost you $450-$650 per callback — they cost you the next customer too.
Furnace ignitor and inducer motor failures during polar vortex events. Heating emergencies November-March, AC peak June-August — the shoulder seasons are the only break. When a system goes down, your customers need a tech who arrives prepared — not one who has to come back for parts.
Frozen service lines in older Chicago bungalows and two-flats, plus lead pipe replacement demand. SpotFix's photo intake lets customers show you the problem before you dispatch — so your plumber knows what they're walking into and what to bring.
Knob-and-tube rewiring in pre-war buildings and panel upgrades for modern electrical loads. AI-powered intake identifies panel types, wiring conditions, and safety flags from customer photos — giving your electrician a head start before the truck rolls.
SpotFix handles the intake so your dispatcher can focus on dispatch — not phone-tag.
When a Chicago homeowner calls with a service issue, your dispatcher texts them a SpotFix intake link instead of spending 15 minutes on the phone gathering basics.
The customer opens the link in their phone's browser — no app needed. Guided prompts walk them through photos, video, and trade-specific questions about their issue.
SpotFix identifies the equipment, analyzes the evidence, and generates a job packet: probable issue, parts list, time estimate, confidence score, and safety flags.
Your dispatcher reviews, assigns the right tech, and dispatches with full context. The tech arrives at the Chicago job with the right parts and fixes it the first time.
