How the call goes

4 surface rules tied to missing field definitions. Urgent first.

1

Ask if the current system is still working — no heat/no cool right now flips this into an emergency track.

urgent

Is your current system still running, or are you without heat or cooling right now?

Field: Is current system still working

2

Ask what type of system they have now — gas furnace, electric, heat pump — so the estimator brings the right load calc.

important

Do you know if your current system is gas, electric, or a heat pump?

Field: Current system type (gas / electric / heat pump)

3

Ask about existing ductwork — ductless installs are a different scope entirely.

important

Does your home have existing ductwork, or is it a ductless setup?

Field: Existing ductwork

4

Mention financing availability — many callers don't ask but want it.

normal

We do offer financing options — is that something you'd like the estimator to go over with you?

Field: Financing interest
