What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Reliability for Your HVAC Business
Capture Every After-Hours Emergency
Capture Every After-Hours Emergency: HVAC breakdowns don't clock out at 5 PM—whether it's a midnight refrigerant leak or a 3 AM furnace outage. Our chatbot fields urgent inquiries instantly via text or voice, scheduling same-day repairs and preventing competitors from swooping in—boosting your lead capture by up to 35% during off-peak hours, based on industry benchmarks from leading contractors handling 50+ emergency calls monthly.

Response times drop to seconds, satisfaction scores climb 25% on average within the first quarter, and repeat business from happy clients—such as annual maintenance contracts—becomes your strongest referral engine.
Streamline Operations and Cut Response Gaps
Streamline Operations and Cut Response Gaps: No more playing phone tag with seasonal inquiries for services like duct cleaning or heat pump installs during fall prep. The chatbot automates quote generation with detailed cost breakdowns for SEER-rated units, freeing your team for high-value fieldwork like on-site diagnostics. Contractors report a 40% reduction in administrative delays over six months, turning potential frustrations into booked appointments with 80% conversion rates.
What Clients Say
"We used to lose half our weekend calls to voicemail, especially during July heat waves when AC units were failing left and right. Since implementing the AIQ Labs chatbot three months ago, we've captured 28 extra emergency refrigerant recharge jobs in July alone—it's like having an extra tech on duty without the overtime costs or liability headaches."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Cool Breeze HVAC Services
"Integrating this with our scheduling software like ServiceTitan was a game-changer. Customers now get instant updates on their furnace installs, even at 2 AM during a cold snap. Our response rate jumped from 60% to 98% in just two months, and we've seen a noticeable uptick in positive Google reviews from satisfied homeowners."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Apex Comfort Systems LLC
"As a small team of five techs, after-hours gaps were killing us during December winter peaks with boiler failures spiking. The chatbot handled 15 boiler replacement inquiries last month that we would've missed, converting 10 into service calls with full system audits. It's reliable, understands our lingo like BTU calculations, and feels like part of the crew without the training time."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle technical HVAC questions without a human tech?
Our custom-built AI is trained specifically on your company's service data, including manuals, FAQs, and past interactions, so it can accurately address issues like error codes on modern thermostats or basic refrigerant leak symptoms. For anything beyond its scope—like intricate wiring diagnostics—it intelligently hands off to your team with a complete summary, ensuring quick resolutions. This setup has helped similar contractors resolve 70% of routine queries autonomously, based on our deployments, while maintaining the expert tone your customers expect. We continuously refine it with your feedback to keep accuracy above 95%.
Can it integrate with my existing HVAC scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, custom integrations with tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or even custom dispatch systems. The chatbot can check availability in real-time, book appointments for AC installs or repairs, and update job statuses automatically—eliminating double-entry errors that plague many HVAC teams. In one recent project, this cut scheduling time by 45% during busy seasons. Our engineers map your exact workflows during discovery to ensure a plug-and-play fit, with API connections that are robust and scalable as your business expands.
What happens if a customer needs urgent help at 3 AM?
The AI is designed for 24/7 vigilance, much like an on-call technician who's always alert. It qualifies the urgency—say, a total system failure versus a minor filter issue—and either provides immediate troubleshooting steps or dispatches an alert to your emergency roster with all details captured. We've seen this prevent 80% of potential lost leads in after-hours scenarios for HVAC clients. If escalation is needed, it texts or calls your team seamlessly, ensuring no opportunity slips through the cracks while you sleep soundly.
How much does customization cost for my HVAC business?
Pricing is tailored to your scale and needs, starting from $5,000 for a basic deployment and scaling up for advanced features like voice integration. Unlike subscription models that nickel-and-dime you monthly, our one-time build gives you ownership, often paying for itself in 3-6 months through captured leads—contractors typically see a 25% revenue lift. We offer a free consultation to assess your setup and provide a precise quote, factoring in integrations and training data volume, so there's no guesswork.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer data in the HVAC industry?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive info like home addresses or payment details for service contracts. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant protocols, and role-based access, ensuring data stays protected during chats or integrations. For HVAC specifics, it adheres to standards like those for handling EPA refrigerant records. Regular audits and our track record with regulated clients mean zero breaches in our portfolio. You control all data flows, and we include compliance training to keep your operations airtight.
How quickly can we get this up and running for our team?
From consultation to launch, most HVAC deployments take 4-6 weeks, depending on integration complexity. We start with a rapid prototype in week one to demo core responses, then iterate based on your input. For a straightforward setup with your existing CRM, we've launched in as little as three weeks, getting you 24/7 coverage during peak times. Post-launch, we monitor for the first two weeks to fine-tune, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your dispatch rhythms and starts delivering wins immediately.
