What an HVAC answering service does

An HVAC answering service picks up when your office is closed. Ours is an AI voice agent set up for your company: it answers in your name, asks what is going on with the system, marks urgent calls by your rules, takes the details, and sends them to you. It is part of our after-hours answering service for trades.

After hours, or with call forwarding on

Calls that ring through after hours, or while you have call forwarding turned on, go straight to the agent. Daytime overflow, where your cell rings first and an unanswered call goes to the agent, is available on request, ask us. For how forwarding works, see missed call answering service.

Solid steps are the standard setup. Dashed steps marked ON REQUEST are available on request, ask us. They are not part of every install.

After hours, every call reaches the agent. Daytime overflow, where you still answer first and the agent only picks up the calls you cannot, is available on request, ask us.

No heat, no cool, or a tune-up: sorted by your rules

The agent asks what the system is doing and, if you want it asked, who is in the home. You decide which combinations are urgent. Safety calls, a CO alarm or a gas smell, get your approved line and an urgent mark. The agent never troubleshoots equipment.

Routine calls, tune-ups, quotes, and new system questions, are booked into an open slot when your calendar is connected, or captured with a best callback time.

What the agent asks an HVAC caller

Name. Callback number, read back. Service address. Heating or cooling. What it is doing: not starting, blowing warm, leaking, making noise. Anyone at risk in the home, if you want that asked. The best time to call back.

What your summary looks like

Illustration. Format matches what our agents write after a call; the caller is made up.

Questions

FAQ

What is an HVAC answering service?

It answers your heating and cooling calls when your office is closed. Ours is an AI voice agent that answers in your company name, asks what the system is doing, marks urgent calls by your rules, and sends you the details.

Will it answer while I'm on a job during the day?

Not by default. It answers the calls that ring through when you are closed, nights, weekends, and holidays, or while you have call forwarding turned on. Daytime overflow is available on request, ask us.

How does it know a no-heat call is urgent?

You set the rules. For example, no heat with young children or older adults in the home can be urgent, while a thermostat question waits. The agent asks the deciding questions and marks the call.

What happens if a caller says their CO alarm is going off?

The agent reads the safety line you approve, marks the call urgent, and does not troubleshoot the equipment.

What do I get after each call?

A summary of every after-hours call, sent to you by text: the caller's name, number, what they need, the time they asked for, and whether it was a real customer or a sales call.

Does it book tune-ups?

Yes. If your calendar is connected, it offers open times and books the slot. If not, it takes the best callback time so you can book it yourself.

Will it quote repair or replacement prices?

No. It tells callers pricing depends on the job and that you will go over it when you call back.

What does it cost?

$897 setup, then $297 a month, month to month. Or $0 setup on a 12-month plan. Emergency transfer is available on request, ask us.
