AI phone answering

An AI receptionist that answers your HVAC calls when you can't.

Text-back catches the callers who hang up. AI answering catches the ones who'd rather talk. When your line rings out, after hours or on your busiest days, an AI receptionist answers in your shop's name, gets the problem and the address, and either books the call or flags it as urgent.

Free report card in your inbox in about 5 minutes. Nobody calls you.

The problem

Where calls slip through.

✕

Rings out on busy days

The heat wave that fills your schedule is when the most calls go unanswered.

✕

After-hours calls go to voicemail

Most people won't leave one. They call the next shop.

✕

Answering services cost a lot

A live service charges by the minute and still can't see your schedule.

✕

Messages missing details

A note that says 'call back' without the problem or address slows you down.

How it works

How we set it up.

You give us access and approve the work. We do the rest.

  1. 1

    We script it with you

    Your greeting, the jobs you take, your service area and what counts as urgent.

  2. 2

    It answers when you can't

    Only on calls you miss or after hours, so your team still takes the calls it can.

  3. 3

    It takes the details

    Name, address, problem and system type, and books into your open slots if you want it to.

  4. 4

    You get a summary

    A text and a log on your HQ Command Center for every call, with urgent ones flagged.

Your whole team

One app. Everyone on the same page.

This runs inside HQ Command Center, the CRM we set up around your shop. Everyone who needs it gets a login.

Unlimited team logins

Owners, managers, the office and techs. Add as many people as you want, at no extra cost.

One inbox for everything

Calls, texts, web chat, email and Facebook and Instagram messages, in one thread per customer.

An app on every phone

iPhone and Android, with alerts, so whoever's free can answer from the truck.

Everyone on the same page

The same customer history, notes and next steps for everyone. No more "did anyone call them back?"

Straight answer

Is it worth it for your shop?

Worth it if

  • Calls ring out on busy days
  • You get after-hours calls
  • A live answering service costs too much

Skip it if

  • You never want a bot talking to customers
  • Someone always answers live, every hour
Questions

Common questions

Will callers know it's AI?

Yes. We tell callers up front that they're talking to an AI assistant for your shop. Being straight with people keeps their trust.

Can it book jobs?

It can book into open slots on your calendar, or just take the details for you to call back. You choose.

What about emergencies?

You set what counts as urgent, like no heat in winter. Those get sent to your phone right away.

Does it replace missed-call text-back?

No, they work together. Callers who hang up still get a text.
