Answer every no-heat and no-cool call. Follow up every replacement quote.
HVAC work comes in waves. The first hot week or cold snap floods the phones, and the replacement options your techs write on service calls sit while everyone runs calls. We build the answering, follow-up and handoffs inside ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or the system you already run.
When the weather turns, calls stack up faster than the office can answer. A caller with no cooling who reaches voicemail calls the next company, and some of those calls end in a new system.
With a system: Overflow and after-hours answering that asks your screening questions, books into open dispatch slots and sends anything urgent by your rules to the on-call tech.AI phone answering →
Replacement options from service calls go quiet.
A tech finds a failed compressor or a cracked heat exchanger and writes options on site. The homeowner wants to think it over, and nobody calls back once the next call drops.
With a system: A follow-up schedule on every open option: a check-in, the financing you already offer, then a call from your comfort advisor.Estimate follow-up →
Equipment and permits set the install date.
A sold system can wait on a backordered condenser or a mechanical permit. If that lives on a whiteboard, the homeowner only hears about a delay when they call to ask.
With a system: Equipment orders and permit status tracked on the job, the install date held until both are ready, and the homeowner told when it moves.Job handoffs & scheduling →
Maintenance agreements lapse without a renewal.
Agreements renew once a year, and the reminder depends on someone running a report. A lapsed member loses priority service, and you lose the tune-ups that fill the slow weeks between rushes.
With a system: Renewal reminders before each agreement ends, a pay link, and tune-ups offered into the weeks your techs have open.Change orders & collections →

No cooling, replacement quoted on site.
A fictional example: a no-cool call on a Saturday night that turns into a replacement sale. This is the record your office would see.

What we build
Systems for HVAC companies.
Rush and after-hours answering
Answers when every line is busy or the office is closed. Asks the screening questions you set, books only slots your dispatch board has open, and sends urgent calls, like a gas smell, straight to the on-call tech.
Every option a tech or comfort advisor writes gets a follow-up schedule you approve. It stops the moment the homeowner replies and hands the reply to the person who wrote the quote.
Equipment, permit and install date kept on one job record. When a distributor moves a delivery, the office hears first and the homeowner gets the new date by text.
Open replacement options from last season are usually already sitting in your system, so there is nothing new to collect. Following up on them needs no phone changes and shows quickly whether the build pays for itself. Rush and after-hours answering comes next, before the weather turns.

Questions
What HVAC owners ask.
Does it work with ServiceTitan?
Usually. ServiceTitan has an API, but third-party access has to be enabled for your account, and some features depend on your plan and add-ons. We check what your account allows, and what ServiceTitan already does on its own, before we quote.
How does it handle a gas smell or a carbon monoxide alarm?
With the safety script you approve, then straight to a person. You decide what counts as urgent, like a gas smell, a CO alarm or no heat with a baby in the house. The assistant never diagnoses equipment or tells anyone a unit is safe to run.
What happens when the first heat wave hits?
It picks up the calls that would ring out or hit voicemail. It only books slots your dispatch board actually has open, so it never promises a same-day visit you cannot make. When the board is full, it takes the details and puts the caller on your callback list.
Can it help with maintenance agreements?
Yes. It can remind members before renewal and offer the agreement after a repair, with the wording and price you set. The agreement and its billing stay in your system or QuickBooks.
When is the best time to set this up?
In spring or fall, when your dispatcher has time to review the call rules and test them. A Care plan, $1,500 a month, then updates hours, open slots and answers as each season changes.
