Hvac Lead Follow Up

AI lead follow-up for HVAC contractors.

Heat waves and cold snaps don't wait for business hours. Your team does. We close that gap with an SMS auto-responder that captures the emergency call, qualifies it, and books it before a competitor's voicemail finishes playing.

Where HVAC leads disappear

HVAC is the most time-sensitive home-service category. A homeowner with a 90-degree house calls three contractors in a row. The booking goes to whoever replies first.

After-hours emergency calls

Roughly 35–45% of HVAC service calls land outside business hours. Without an automated reply, those leads phone the next contractor in the search results.

Maintenance lead drift

Tune-up requests come in casually, then sit. By the time a CSR calls back, the urgency that drove the request has passed.

Quote-to-install silence

Replacement quotes ($8k+) routinely sit unfollowed for a week. The contractor who texts "Hey, did you have time to look at the estimate?" on day 3 wins the deal.

What HVAC owners see after week one

Owners typically tell us two things by the end of week one: more morning slots come pre-booked, and Saturday emergency volume goes up because the system catches what voicemail used to lose.

Sub-60s response

Every form, missed-call and chat enquiry gets a real SMS reply in under a minute. "Hi — sorry your unit died. Where are you located and what's the indoor temp?"

Emergency vs. routine routing

The reply flow asks one short qualifier and routes emergencies to the on-call tech, while routine work goes onto the dispatch board.

Replacement quote nudges

Estimates over $4,500 get a soft day-2 and day-5 follow-up. Almost no HVAC contractor does this consistently.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work with our existing dispatch software?

Yes. We send booked appointments into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber and any system that accepts a webhook. We don't rip-and-replace anything.

Can the auto-text handle emergency vs maintenance routing?

Yes — the first auto-text asks one short question ("Is this an emergency or routine maintenance?") and routes the lead accordingly. Emergencies ping the on-call tech instantly.

What's the typical recoverable pipeline for an HVAC contractor?

Conservative model on the average $8k replacement ticket: a contractor doing 60 leads/month at 40% unfollowed and 10% recovered close-rate adds roughly $19,000/mo in pipeline. We always recalibrate against your real numbers in the pilot.

Does it work during summer peak load?

Yes. The system is built for spikes — there's no monthly send-cap on our side. The bottleneck during peak is dispatch capacity, not the SMS layer.
