It's 9pm in July. A homeowner with no AC calls the first three HVAC companies on Google. Two go to voicemail. The third answers, triages, and books the job. Your AI receptionist makes sure you're the third one — every time.
HVAC demand is spiky — heat waves and cold snaps don't wait for business hours. The calls you miss are concentrated exactly when callers are most ready to book.
Calls to home-service businesses that go unanswered — most callers won't leave a voicemail, they just dial the next company.
A typical HVAC repair ticket. Miss ten bookable calls a month and you're losing thousands — before counting maintenance plans.
A system replacement. One missed replacement call can outweigh an entire year of answering costs.

This isn't a generic answering bot with your logo on it. It's trained on the call types an HVAC shop actually gets, and it takes a different action for each one.
Asks your triage questions — total outage or reduced, anyone at risk in the home, unit type and age — books true emergencies into emergency slots and texts your on-call tech a summary the moment the call ends.
Checks real availability and books straight into Jobber — seasonal tune-ups, filter swaps, "it's making that noise again." Confirmation text goes to the customer automatically.
Captures system details, home size, and timeline, sets expectations honestly, and books the estimate visit. The big-ticket calls never get lost to voicemail again.
Invoice questions, warranty lookups, "is the tech still coming?" — answered from your business info, or taken as a detailed message with a promised callback window. After every closed job, it requests the Google review your office keeps forgetting to ask for.
Bilingual on every call type — it detects English or Spanish and runs the whole conversation in the caller's language. See the rest of the team — dispatch, follow-up, reviews, estimates — on the AI agents page.

| Pricing | Per minute — spikes with demand | Flat monthly rate |
Fair is fair: a good human service handles a truly chaotic call better than any AI. That's why ours hands off cleanly — detailed message, promised callback window, instant text to you — instead of pretending.
That number answers with the same AI receptionist your customers would get. Ask about a dead AC unit, ask in Spanish, ask something weird. It's a real call to a real agent.
📞 (512) 866-9042A phone agent that answers your business line 24/7, figures out what the caller needs — emergency repair, maintenance, a quote, an invoice question — and takes the right action: booking the job, texting your on-call tech, or taking a detailed message. We train it on your service area, your pricing rules, and the way your shop actually talks.
Yes — that's the main reason HVAC companies use it. It asks the triage questions you would ask (no cooling at all or reduced? anyone at risk in the home? unit age and type?), books true emergencies into your emergency slots, and texts a summary to your on-call tech immediately. Non-urgent calls get booked into normal slots instead of waking anyone up.
Yes. Appointments go directly into Jobber, so your schedule, client records, and job details stay in the system you already run your shop on. Jobber stays your source of truth — it works with every Jobber tier. Details on the Jobber integration page.
The Full Stack plan is $497/month plus a one-time setup fee, and includes the AI receptionist plus a custom website, SEO/GEO, lead dashboard, and hosting. Month-to-month, no long-term contract, and you own every account and file. A typical human answering service charges per-minute, so your bill spikes exactly when demand does.
Yes, fully bilingual. It detects the caller's language and runs the entire call — triage, booking, confirmation — in English or Spanish. For Texas HVAC companies that's often several extra booked jobs a month an English-only line would have lost.
It doesn't guess. When a call falls outside what it's trained to handle — a warranty dispute, a commercial bid, an angry escalation — it takes a detailed message, tells the caller exactly when to expect a callback, and texts you the full summary right away. You stay in control of every edge case.
Honest timeline: your receptionist and site go live in about a week. AI-search citations typically take 60–90 days; classic Google rankings 3–6 months. Anyone promising faster is guessing.
