The week the cold snap arrives is the week every heat pump in Adelaide decides to stop. You are on a wall bracket in Modbury and the phone goes eleven times before lunch. Talkify answers all of them at once, tells the no-heat households honestly when somebody can get there, and books the servicing into the quieter weeks where it belongs.
Adelaide is compact and easy to move around by Australian standards, which is a genuine advantage right up until a heatwave settles over the city for a week and everything becomes urgent at once. The plains run north to Gawler and south to Noarlunga with the hills behind, so the service area is long and narrow rather than sprawling. Summers are dry and hot enough that fire season changes what work can be done in the Hills, and when.
A Modbury family wakes to a heat pump blowing cold and a house at nine degrees. The agent asks the brand, what the unit is doing, what the remote says and whether the outdoor fan is turning, then books the first slot you have and texts you the fault, so the part might already be in the van.
AnsweredA homeowner wants a heat pump in the lounge and maybe one down the hall. The agent asks the room sizes, the ceiling height, the age of the house and whether there is insulation, then books a site visit rather than quoting a unit that will be undersized.
AnsweredA cafe in Adelaide has rooftop units nobody has touched in two years and an environmental health visit coming. The agent takes the site, the number of units and the access arrangements, then books the service with the invoicing details already recorded.
AnsweredThe agent takes the whole call rather than a message. Anything on the urgent list reaches your mobile as a text within seconds, with the address and the number, and the caller gets their own text confirming somebody is on it.
Your questions, in your order. Anything you would ask standing in the doorway with a notebook.
You set the list. These are the defaults for heat pump installers, and every one of them texts you rather than waiting in a summary.
On the tools the diary is not a calendar app, it is the job system. Talkify writes the enquiry, the site address and what the caller actually said into the one you run in Adelaide, so nobody types the same job in twice. Where a connector is marked early access it is built and tested, and set up with you rather than left for you to wire up.

Press the button, approve Talkify at Fergus, set a password. Talkify builds the whole account out of what Fergus already knows: your company, your team, your line already pointed at the right town, your customer list copying in behind you and Fergus already connected. It drops you on the agent builder with a reception agent half made, rather than on an empty screen.
Plenty of good heat pump installers run the week off a notebook and a phone. Nothing here asks you to open an account somewhere else first.
Adelaide is the driest of Australia's capital cities, and the Adelaide Hills sit in bushfire country on its eastern edge, so summer sets the terms for a great deal of the work.
From Gawler to Noarlunga, Port Adelaide to the Hills. You set the area you actually drive to, and anything outside it is turned down politely rather than booked and cancelled.
AdelaideYour 08 landline or mobile stays exactly as it is. Forward it to the agent when you are busy, after hours, or always, and switch it back from your phone whenever you like.
ForwardingWe can provision a local 08 number for the agent and sell you the line itself, so the agent has a number of its own without you running two providers.
08 numberThere are a lot of AI receptionists now and they all sound much the same on a demo call. These are the six things that are hard to hear in five minutes and matter by month three, and each one is something you can check rather than something we can claim.
We sell the line as well as the thing that answers it. Numbers sit on our own carrier account, the routing is ours to change, and it is one supplier and one bill. Most AI answering is a layer of software on a phone account somebody else sold you, which is invisible on a good day and the whole game at three in the morning.
One supplierCalls to an Australian number are answered and handled in Australia rather than routed through somewhere else and back, and an Australian account is quoted and invoiced in Australian dollars. Most of what is sold here is an American platform wearing a local logo, and you hear the difference on the line before you ever see it on a bill.
AustraliaTalkify has answered business calls since 2024, out of a Christchurch software studio over twelve years old that was doing voice and telephony work before Talkify had a name. Most of this market arrived in the last year and a half. That is not a criticism, but it is worth knowing when you are handing over your phone.
Since 2024Nothing gets named on this website until the connector behind it exists and we can show it to you, which is why our list is shorter than some and why every name on it is real. Anything we have not built yet, you or your developer can, over a documented API with webhooks and Zapier.
Written by usThe same account and the same number also chase the quotes you sent, confirm next week's jobs, ring the overdue invoices straight out of your Xero, run phone surveys, work an on-call roster until somebody actually accepts, staff a front counter and answer the chat window on your website.
Same accountReal Australian voices that say the street and suburb names properly, so a caller is not spelling their own address at a machine. Support is a phone number in your own timezone answered by the people who built the thing, and the apps for iPhone and Android are on every plan.
iOS + AndroidTwo more are further up this page rather than repeated here: if you run Fergus you can sign in with it and skip the setting up altogether, and if you run no software at all you still get the diary and the address book. Weighing us against somebody else? We list every provider selling into Australia on the alternatives page, including where each of them is the better pick, and there is a row by row of us against Tradies Line on the head to head.
