Help soon,
without waiting for a routine visit.
Use Urgent when a home service problem needs attention soon but is not an emergency. It is the right lane for issues that should not wait for a routine Scheduled visit but do not require the fastest Emergency path.
Expected service window: approximately 8–24 hours after you submit your request. Timing depends on your address, weather, time of day, and live pro availability.
Zwivio moves your request through governed dispatch—not a list blast. You receive text updates while dispatch runs, and we widen outreach in controlled steps when needed. Which request types you can choose depends on the service category you select during intake.
Urgent is built for service problems that need attention soon, without turning your phone into a blast of pro calls.
WHEN TO USE URGENT
Real situations homeowners use Urgent for
AC is cooling poorly or unevenly
Your AC is running but not cooling well, some rooms are too warm, or comfort is getting worse and you do not want to wait for a routine appointment.
Water heater is failing but not fully out
Hot water is inconsistent or running out quickly, and you need help soon without using the fastest Emergency lane.
A drain, pest, garage door, or appliance issue is getting worse
A drain keeps backing up, a pest issue is spreading, or a garage door or appliance problem needs attention soon before it becomes a full outage.
Gas leak or carbon monoxide
If you suspect a gas leak or carbon monoxide, leave the home immediately and call 911 or your utility emergency line first. If HVAC follow-up is needed, use Zwivio only after it is safe to return.
HOW URGENT DIFFERS
Same platform. Pick the fit for your situation
Urgent is for service problems that need attention soon but do not require the fastest Emergency lane. Expected service window: approximately 8–24 hours after you submit your request. If a full outage or safety emergency cannot wait, choose Emergency. For maintenance, tune-ups, follow-up work, or a planned visit, use Scheduled service. Compare all request types on Service types. Which request types you can choose depends on the service category you select during intake.

Urgent Service: common questions
- How quickly can I expect Urgent service?
- The expected service window for an Urgent request is approximately 8–24 hours after you submit. Timing depends on your address, weather, time of day, and live pro availability. During intake, Zwivio shows the expected service window for your request.
- Should I choose Urgent or Emergency?
- Choose Urgent when the problem needs attention soon but is not an emergency. Choose Emergency when a full outage, safety emergency, or other problem cannot wait—including no heat or no cooling.
- Should I choose Urgent or Scheduled?
- Choose Urgent when the problem should not wait for a routine appointment. Choose Scheduled for maintenance, tune-ups, follow-up work, and non-urgent repairs when you can share an availability window beginning at least 24 hours from now.
- Does every service category offer Urgent?
- No. Which request types you can choose depends on the service category you select during intake. Not every category supports Emergency, Urgent, Scheduled, and Quote.
- Can a contractor offer an earlier arrival time?
- Yes. If a pro proposes timing outside the expected service window, including an earlier arrival, we ask you to confirm before moving forward.
- Do I pay Zwivio?
- No. Zwivio is free for homeowners. You pay your pro directly for diagnostics, service, repairs, and parts.
- Will multiple contractors call me?
- You should not get a marketplace-style flood of callbacks. Zwivio coordinates outreach through governed dispatch. We may contact multiple eligible pros through the platform when coverage requires it, but your personal contact details are not sold as a shared lead.
- What if a contractor cannot arrive within the expected window?
- If a pro proposes timing outside the expected service window shown for your request, we ask you to confirm before moving forward.
- What happens if Zwivio cannot find an available contractor?
- We may widen outreach and use additional follow-up while your request is still open. If routing and recovery finish without an available pro, we send you an update that the request is closed. You can start a new request if help is still needed.
- What should I do if I smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide?
- Leave the home immediately and call 911 or your utility emergency line first. If HVAC follow-up is needed, use Zwivio only after it is safe to return.
