What the phone looks like for a Reading solar installation company
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a solar installation company working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A solar enquiry is worth several thousand pounds and the homeowner is collecting three quotes in a single evening.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Reading solar installation companies ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with solar installation companies outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Will it make savings claims?
Only your own published figures, and it says they depend on a survey. Overclaiming on savings is both a compliance problem and a cancellation problem.
Can it qualify a roof over the phone?
It takes the roof type, direction, age and any shading, which is enough for you to decide whether a survey is worth the trip.
What happens when energy prices are in the news?
Call volume spikes for about a week. It answers all of it rather than the fraction your team can reach.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
