Pacific Automation

I grew up in Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls. Spent years watching family and friends run trade businesses across the Inland Northwest — plumbers, electricians, HVAC guys, contractors.
One thing never changed: the best ones were always the busiest, and the busiest ones were always the hardest to reach.
That's not a coincidence. It's the cost of being good at your job.
I started Pacific Automation because I wanted to fix that specific problem for businesses right here in Spokane Valley and across North Idaho — not some generic solution built for a national franchise, but something built by someone who actually knows this area.
If your business is buried in work and your phone is the bottleneck, that's exactly who I built this for.

There's a number most contractors in the Valley have never calculated.
Take your customer list from the last two years. Count them. Most shops your size have 100 to 300 names sitting in a filing cabinet or an old invoice folder.
Now here's the number: when a business sends one friendly check-in text to that list — not a promotion, just "hey, we're scheduling maintenance season, need anything?" — somewhere between 5 and 10 percent reply.
That's 10 to 30 conversations. From people who already know you, already trust you, and already paid you once.
Most of those turn into booked work within the week.
No ads. No lead buying. No new marketing budget. Just money sitting in a drawer waiting for someone to open it.
The shops that do this once a season stay booked. The ones that don't keep wondering why the phone goes quiet.

"I'm already booked out two weeks — I don't need more leads."
I hear this a lot from contractors in the Valley.
And they're right. They don't need more leads.
But here's what's happening while they're booked out:
Their phone is ringing while they're under a sink or on a roof. Those callers don't leave voicemails. They hang up and call the next guy on the list.
So when week three opens up — the pipeline is empty. And they can't figure out why the phone went quiet.
The system doesn't buy you more leads. It secures the ones your phone bill is already paying for.
That's all it does.

Most contractors I talk to think their slow weeks are a marketing problem.
They're not.
The leads already exist. They're sitting in a phone somewhere — a past customer who used you two years ago, liked the work, meant to call back, and just never did.
Not because they found someone better. Because nobody reached out.
A database reactivation is the simplest thing a service business can do to generate immediate revenue. You take your last 100 to 200 past customers, send them one personal text, and let them know you have availability.
Something like: "Hey — it's been a while. We have some openings coming up and wanted to check in. Is there anything on the [heating/electrical/plumbing] side you've been putting off?"
Most contractors who do this see three to eight booked jobs within 72 hours. Not leads. Booked jobs. From people who already trust you.
No ads. No new leads. No cold outreach. Just a conversation with people who already said yes once.
The money is already in your contact list. Most contractors just never go back for it.

Something most contractors in Spokane Valley don't realize until it's too late 👇
When a homeowner's furnace stops working at 8pm on a Friday, they're not leaving a voicemail.
They're calling the next contractor on Google.
The one who responds first gets the job. Every time. Doesn't matter who does better work. Doesn't matter who's been in business longer.
Speed wins.
Most HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses in the Valley are losing 4 to 6 jobs a month this way. Not because they're doing anything wrong — just because they're out doing the actual work when the phone rings.
Pacific Automation fixes that. Every missed call gets an automatic text back within 60 seconds. The customer knows you're on a job and they wait.
Local. No contracts. You only pay when it works.

Here's something that might sting a little 👇
Right now, somewhere in Spokane Valley, one of your competitors just got a call you missed.
Not because they're better at the work. Not because they have a bigger team. Just because they had something running in the background that responded before you could.
That's the whole game in 2026 for local trade businesses. The quality of your work gets you referrals. But the speed of your response is what gets you the first call.
Most contractors don't find out they're losing these jobs — because there's no notification when a lead calls and moves on. It just quietly goes somewhere else.
Pacific Automation sets up a system that texts back every missed call within 60 seconds, automatically requests Google reviews after every completed job, and follows up on every cold estimate — all running without you touching it.
You keep doing the work. We make sure nobody's taking your leads while you do.
📍 Local Spokane Valley. No contracts.
Want to know how many leads you're losing right now?

When a homeowner's furnace stops working at 8pm, they don't wait until morning. They pick up their phone and start calling contractors from Google.
If the first one goes to voicemail with no response — they call the second one.
If the second one goes to voicemail — they call the third.
Whoever responds first gets the job.
Not the best contractor. Not the most experienced. Just the fastest to respond.
The businesses winning that game aren't sitting by their phones all night. They have a simple automated system that texts back within 60 seconds of every missed call — something like:
💬 "Hey, we saw you called — we're finishing up a job right now. What can we help you with?"
That one message keeps the lead warm until morning. Most customers respond and wait. The job doesn't go to your competitor.
It costs less per month than a single missed service call is worth.
That's one of the three systems Pacific Automation sets up for trade contractors here in Spokane Valley.

Some numbers that stopped me in my tracks when I started researching the trade contractor market here in Spokane Valley 👇
📞 62% of HVAC calls go unanswered during peak season nationally. That's not a slow business problem — that's a systems problem.
⏱️ Only 17% of trade contractors follow up on a missed call or cold estimate within the first hour. The other 83% are handing jobs to whoever responds faster.
⭐ Contractors with 200+ Google reviews receive roughly 3x more inbound calls than those under 50 — not because they're better, but because they look more trusted to a homeowner searching at 9pm.
💸 At an average service ticket of $300–400 in the Spokane area, missing just 4 calls a week adds up to $1,200–$2,000 in lost revenue every single month.
None of this is the contractor's fault. You're running a business, managing a crew, and doing the actual work. Nobody has time to sit by a phone after hours or manually chase every estimate that goes quiet.
That's exactly the problem Pacific Automation exists to solve — automated systems that handle all of it in the background while you focus on the job in front of you.
