You're a master HVAC technician. You shouldn't also be running a call center during the first heat wave of summer.

The heat wave hits. Your phone explodes.

It's the first 95°F day of the year. Your phone rings 47 times between 8am and noon.

Maintenance agreements that quietly die

You sold 120 maintenance agreements last year. 68% of them lapsed at renewal because nobody sent a reminder.

The $6,500 replacement quote that never got sent

You diagnosed a failing compressor on a 14-year-old Carrier system. You told the homeowner you'd send a replacement quote.

Frequently asked questions

Can it handle the volume spike on the first hot day of summer without dropping calls?

Yes. The AI agents handle unlimited concurrent inquiries across text, chat, and web form. Every inquiry gets a response in under 3 minutes regardless of volume.

Does it manage maintenance agreement renewals and billing automatically?

Yes. It tracks every agreement's expiration date, sends renewal reminders 30 days out, processes payments, and auto-schedules the next service visit upon renewal.

Can the Quoting Agent build Good/Better/Best replacement proposals with different SEER ratings?

Yes. Configure your equipment tiers and pricing, and the agent generates multi-option proposals with energy savings comparisons and financing terms included.

Does it prioritize maintenance agreement customers during peak season?

Yes. You can configure priority tiers. Maintenance agreement customers get priority scheduling, and the Dispatch Brain routes them ahead of non-agreement service calls during high-demand periods.

Can it track refrigerant usage per system for EPA compliance?

Yes. Log refrigerant type and quantity per service visit. The system maintains a per-unit history that supports EPA Section 608 record-keeping requirements.

Does it support both residential and light commercial HVAC?

Yes. Commercial accounts get separate pipeline management, net-term invoicing, and multi-unit property tracking. Residential and commercial inquiries are routed to different workflows.

How does the seasonal marketing automation work?

The Marketing Agent has a built-in HVAC seasonal calendar. It drafts campaigns targeting your past customers with the right service at the right time — you review and approve before anything sends.

Can techs update job status from the field?

Yes. Mobile-first interface: view schedule, check job details, log diagnostics, capture photos, mark complete, and trigger the invoice — all from their phone.

Does it identify system replacement candidates from service history?

Yes. The Marketing Agent flags customers with systems over 12 years old that have had 2+ repairs in the past 18 months — your highest-probability replacement leads.
