Picture this: a new lead calls about a furnace tune-up. Our AI instantly verifies their details, generates a custom service agreement, schedules the tech based on real-time route data, and sends personalized texts with prep instructions.

It's like having an invisible admin team that never sleeps, built specifically for your HVAC operations—handling everything from emergency AC repairs to seasonal maintenance contracts.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Time and Cost Wins Tailored to Your HVAC Crew
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Admin Drudgery
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Admin Drudgery: Your team spends too much time chasing e-signatures for AC maintenance contracts and updating service logs. Our automation captures client data via smart forms on mobile devices, auto-populates digital contracts with unit model numbers, and syncs everything to your dispatch board in under 2 minutes. Result? Techs hit the road faster for emergency calls, boosting productivity by 25% and freeing dispatchers for high-value tasks like upselling annual tune-ups. Industry benchmarks from the Air Conditioning Contractors of America show HVAC firms see a 4x ROI within six months.
Drive 30% Faster Onboarding for Higher Client Satisfaction
Drive 30% Faster Onboarding for Higher Client Satisfaction: Manual processes delay service starts, frustrating homeowners during sweltering summers for AC installs or freezing winters for heater repairs. We automate confirmations, sending geo-targeted prep tips—like 'Clear space around your outdoor condenser unit and ensure pets are secured'—right after booking via SMS. This cuts no-show rates by 40%, per Home Services Institute data, and builds trust, leading to repeat business and referrals that pad your bottom line with an average 15% revenue uplift from upsells.
Reduce Errors and Cut Costs by 20% on Faulty Quotes
Reduce Errors and Cut Costs by 20% on Faulty Quotes: Misentered home square footage or ductwork details lead to costly reworks on HVAC systems. Our AI cross-checks inputs against your historical jobs database, flagging inconsistencies like mismatched SEER ratings before quotes go out. For one mid-sized plumbing contractor, this slashed refund requests by half, saving $12K annually on water heater installs. It's enterprise-grade accuracy, custom-tuned to your workflow with integrations for tools like ServiceTitan, ensuring every onboarding dollar turns into profit.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our office was buried in onboarding emails for new central AC installs—easily 12 hours a week just coordinating tech dispatches during heatwaves. Now, it's all automatic; we onboarded 45 clients last July without a single scheduling mix-up, and our techs are out on 20% more service calls, hitting our quarterly targets early."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, CoolTech HVAC Services, Denver CO
"We were losing leads because follow-ups on emergency furnace repairs took days amid winter storms. Their custom system texts clients immediately with detailed quotes and available slots optimized for our service vans' routes. In three months, our conversion rate jumped from 60% to 85% for heating jobs, and we're not chasing paperwork anymore—revenue is up 22% year-over-year."
Sarah Lopez
Owner, Precision Heating & Cooling, Chicago IL
"Integrated seamlessly with our legacy ServiceTitan CRM—no more double data entry for annual HVAC seasonal checks. Saved us about 18 hours a week on admin, and clients love the instant SMS updates with prep instructions. Honestly, it's like adding two dispatchers without the payroll hit; we handled 30% more tune-ups last fall without overtime."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with my existing HVAC software?
We start by mapping your current setup—whether it's ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or even QuickBooks for invoicing. Our custom AI creates deep, two-way API connections that pull in client data, update schedules in real-time, and push completed onboardings back to your system. For example, when a new client signs for a duct cleaning, it auto-adds them to your route planner without manual entry. This isn't superficial linking; it's a robust fabric that eliminates data silos, saving you from the integration headaches that plague 65% of home services firms, according to recent benchmarks. Setup typically takes 4-6 weeks, with zero disruption to ongoing jobs.
What kind of time savings can I expect for my HVAC team?
HVAC contractors typically reclaim 15-20 hours per week from onboarding tasks alone. Think about it: instead of dispatchers spending mornings chasing signatures for boiler replacements, our AI handles form routing, approvals, and confirmations automatically. One client reported dropping their onboarding cycle from 3 days to 4 hours, allowing techs to service 12% more calls monthly. We quantify this during our free audit, using your historical data to project exact gains—like reducing admin time on emergency repairs by 70%. Long-term, this boosts billable efficiency, with industry data showing a 250-400% ROI in the first year through fewer errors and faster turnarounds.
Is this system secure for handling sensitive client information in HVAC services?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in home services where you're dealing with home access details and equipment specs. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and HIPAA where applicable for health-related HVAC like air quality systems. Data is stored in your owned system, not scattered across rented tools, minimizing breach risks. Features include role-based access so only authorized techs see site plans, and audit logs track every interaction. We've audited our builds against field service vulnerabilities, ensuring they withstand high-volume use without leaks. Clients in regulated areas, like those installing energy-efficient units, praise this for seamless compliance without extra paperwork burdens.
Can the automation handle seasonal peaks, like summer AC rushes?
Yes, our systems are designed for scalability, handling surges without breaking a sweat. For HVAC, this means processing 5x normal onboarding volume during heatwaves—auto-scaling servers kick in to manage hundreds of leads daily. We incorporate predictive AI that anticipates peaks based on weather APIs and your past data, pre-loading schedules for common services like refrigerant recharges. A mid-sized contractor we worked with onboarded 200+ clients in July alone, cutting wait times by 50% compared to manual methods. It's not just reactive; the system learns from each season to optimize further, ensuring your team stays ahead of demand without hiring temps.
How much does custom customer onboarding automation cost for an HVAC business?
Costs vary by your scale and complexity, but for a typical 20-50 tech HVAC operation, expect $25K-$50K for the initial build, including integration and two months of optimization. This is a one-time investment for ownership, versus $10K+ annually in subscriptions for patchwork tools. ROI hits fast: with 15 hours saved weekly at $50/hour labor value, you break even in 3-4 months, then pocket the gains. We provide a detailed quote after our free consultation, factoring in specifics like your client volume for furnace installs. No hidden fees—everything's transparent, and we guarantee measurable savings to justify the spend.
Will this require training for my non-tech-savvy HVAC staff?
Minimal training— we design for ease, like a well-oiled service van that runs smoothly without constant tweaks. Your dispatchers get a 2-hour session on the dashboard, focusing on oversight rather than micromanagement, while techs receive simple mobile alerts for new onboardings. For instance, a confirmation might say 'Head to 123 Oak St. for AC diagnostic—client prepped.' We've seen adoption rates over 90% in field services because it mimics daily routines, not adding complexity. Post-launch, we offer ongoing check-ins to refine based on feedback, ensuring even seasonal hires pick it up in days.
