An AI dispatcher answers emergency calls 24/7, books service tickets, captures storm-day overflow, and reactivates dormant maintenance customers. The capture rate moves before the next heat wave.
Send us your call data and we'll send back a 90-day capture estimate specific to your service area. No pitch unless you ask for one.
When summer surge hits or a winter storm blows through, AI picks up the calls your dispatcher can't get to. Books the easy ones, escalates the urgent ones.
System replacements and maintenance plans for customers who haven't called in 12+ months. AI runs the outreach loop your team doesn't have time for.
Performance-based pricing. No setup fee, month-to-month. Agree on a minimum capture floor before you write a check.
HVAC is the highest-velocity emergency vertical we audit. When a homeowner's AC dies at 9pm Tuesday in July, they don't leave a voicemail and wait for a callback — they call the next contractor on Google within 90 seconds. The conversion gap between live-answer and voicemail-callback is wider in HVAC than any other vertical: roughly 80% live-answer conversion versus 12% voicemail-callback conversion. The math doesn't survive that gap.
The owner-in-the-truck pattern compounds the problem. Most 1-3 truck HVAC owner-operators are physically in someone's mechanical room or attic for 60-70% of business hours, where they can't reliably answer their phone. Even with a spouse "helping with the phones," the result is the same: most after-hours and overflow calls hit voicemail and never reconnect.
Generic AI receptionists fail in HVAC because they can't triage emergencies. An HVAC-tuned AI dispatcher runs severity triage in the first 30 seconds: is this no-heat in January (true emergency, page the on-call cell), is this AC-died-in-July (high-priority same-day dispatch), or is this Saturday-morning-tune-up (book into the regular schedule). Generic answering services either treat every call as an emergency (waking the owner up unnecessarily) or as a message-take (losing the true emergencies).
The AI also handles the after-hours surcharge disclosure before booking ("after-hours service includes a $XX dispatch fee"), captures system type and age (helps the tech walk in prepared), and pushes the job into your dispatch system — ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge — with the right tags for invoicing later.
July is the financial validation month for HVAC AI. A two-truck residential shop in the Southeast typically sees 30-50% call volume increase in July, with the missed-call rate going UP (not down) because the existing team is even more saturated. Average emergency ticket: $700-$900. Conversion gap between live and voicemail in peak season is widest because customers call competitors fastest. Math: 5 missed calls per week in July × 68% conversion gap × $800 average = $2,720/week typically lost — over $11K for the month of July alone, before counting the shoulder seasons.
Shoulder seasons (October-November, March-April) see lower volume but the same percentage pattern. Annual math on what is typically being lost for a two-truck residential shop runs $40K-$80K per year. Pilot pricing at $797/month is $9,564 annually — break-even at 12-15 recovered emergency tickets per year, easily achievable in peak months alone.
The successful HVAC AI deployment looks like this: AI handles ALL after-hours calls (most are non-emergency Saturday-tune-up bookings that don't need to wake the owner), handles peak overflow during business hours (when the in-truck owner can't pick up), and dispatches true emergencies to the owner's cell with the caller's address pre-pulled. The owner answers fewer total calls (often 70%+ reduction) and catches only the high-value emergency dispatches. The dispatcher (or owner's spouse) handles in-warranty service questions and existing customer follow-ups during business hours. Net result: same revenue capture, dramatically less phone time.
Vertical-specific HVAC AI runs severity triage in the first 30 seconds and PAGES the on-call cell for true emergencies (no heat in January, no AC over 95°F, gas smell, water leak, electrical issue). Non-emergencies book directly into the schedule with the after-hours surcharge disclosed before confirmation. See how after-hours AI works.
Yes — vertical-specific HVAC AI integrates with all three major dispatch platforms natively (via their booking APIs), plus FieldEdge, Service Fusion, and most other major shop management systems. For unusual stacks, custom integration adds 5-10 days to setup.
$797/month for the Pilot tier, plus a one-time setup fee that varies by dispatch software complexity. Break-even is 1-2 recovered emergency tickets per month — well below the typical leak. Detailed pricing breakdown: AI receptionist pricing explained.
