Building address, equipment type, and symptoms are captured so the technician arrives prepared.
Dispatch by priority
Calls are triaged by the nature of the failure and technician availability.
Targets, not guarantees

How Emergency Intake Works
When you call the Icebox emergency line, you may be greeted by IceBox's Helpful AI Assistant. She is an AI-powered voice agent who will identify herself as an AI assistant at the start of the call. She gathers initial details about your situation — building address, equipment type, nature of the issue — and routes your call to a live operator or to Lawrence directly.
From there, Icebox coordinates a technician dispatch based on the nature of the issue, technician availability, travel distance, and current call volume.
From our side of the phone
What an emergency call looks like from our side
The intake assistant records the building, the equipment, and what the caller is seeing: no cooling on a floor, water at a unit, a breaker that keeps tripping. That information reaches the dispatcher and the technician before the truck moves, so the first visit carries the right gauges, parts, and access plan.
On site, the priority is safe operation and a stable building: isolating a failed component, restoring partial capacity where possible, and documenting what a permanent repair requires. Contract holders' equipment history shortens that process. Non-contract calls are handled case by case.
- Intake by AI assistant with live-operator routing
- Triage by failure type and building impact
- Temporary stabilization where possible
- Written scope for permanent repair
- Portal record for contract holders
Response Time Target
Icebox targets a 3-hour response for emergency calls. Response times are not guaranteed and depend on technician availability, travel distance, and current call volume. The 3-hour target is a procedural benchmark that Icebox works toward on each call — it is not a contractual guarantee of arrival time.
