Ms RocheCustomer · heat pump faultLive

Hello, my heat pump went into fault mode overnight. The screen shows E05.

I’m noting code E05. An engineer can come on Wednesday morning or Thursday afternoon.

Wednesday morning. It’s 12 rue des Lilas, in Valence.

Booked: Wednesday between 8 am and 12 pm, 12 rue des Lilas. The fault code goes with the visit.

The question you are asking

What does an AI answering service change for an energy supplier or an installer?

Energy and utilities cover energy suppliers, solar and heat pump installers, water distributors and municipal utilities. Their phone lines saturate during an incident and stay busy the rest of the time. Cantya answers contract questions, books engineer appointments and passes fault reports to the team.

A water cut across a neighbourhood, a storm that knocks out inverters, a cold snap that puts heat pumps into fault mode: within minutes, many customers call for the same reason. The line is engaged, they call back, and the team spends the morning repeating the same information instead of dealing with the incident.

Cantya takes several calls at once. When you have described the current incident in your dashboard, it gives that information to every caller and notes the affected addresses. The rest of the time, it answers routine questions about a contract or a bill from your explanations, without stating any amount, and books engineer visits in your calendar.

In practice

How it gets set up

  1. 01

    You write the everyday answers

    Reading a bill, payment schedule, cancellation, steps when moving in, warranties on an installation. Cantya answers in your words, without quoting any amount.

  2. 02

    You flag the current incident

    From your dashboard: area affected, nature of the outage, estimated restoration time if you have one. Cantya gives it to those who call about it, until you remove the information.

  3. 03

    Every fault report arrives located

    Address, type of equipment, message or code displayed, since when, contact details. Your technical team receives a usable report and can set its priorities.

  4. 04

    Engineer visits go into the calendar

    Commissioning, annual servicing, repair: each type of job has its length and capacity. Cantya offers the free slots and can also move or cancel a visit.

How does Cantya keep customers informed during an outage?

You describe the incident in your dashboard: area affected, nature of the outage, estimated return if you have one. Cantya gives this information to everyone who calls about it, notes their address and passes the report to the team.

Can it answer on the amount of a bill?

No. It explains how to read a bill, what the lines correspond to and when payments fall due, if you wrote it down. For a specific amount or a dispute, it notes the customer reference and passes the request on.

Can an installer hand it the commissioning visits?

Yes. You create one appointment type for commissioning, another for servicing or repair, each with its length and the travel time to leave afterwards. Cantya offers the free slots in your calendar, and moves or cancels a visit at the customer’s request.

What happens if the caller wants to talk to an engineer?

Cantya notes the address and the reason, then transfers the call to the number you designated. If no transfer is set up, it takes a complete message that goes straight to the team.

The next call gets answered.
