What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend calls about furnace pilot light failures to voicemail—customers just called the next contractor. Now, it handles basic diagnostics like error code troubleshooting and books 80% of emergencies right away. Last summer, we added 15 extra jobs from after-hours chats on AC refrigerant issues alone, boosting our Q3 revenue by 28%."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Cool Breeze HVAC Services, serving Phoenix metro area
"Our old system couldn't distinguish a heat pump defrost cycle issue from a simple thermostat battery glitch. This custom bot, trained on our service manuals for brands like Carrier and Trane, resolves 70% of queries without human intervention. Response times dropped from 2 hours to instant, and our client retention for annual maintenance contracts jumped 22% in the first quarter after implementation."

"It integrated perfectly with our Housecall Pro scheduling app—no more double-bookings from chat leads on duct cleaning estimates. During last winter's polar vortex in Chicago, it managed a flood of inquiries about boiler pressure problems while our team was out on emergency calls. Honestly, it's like having an extra dispatcher who never sleeps, handling 50+ queries per night without fatigue."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle complex HVAC emergencies?
Our custom AI is trained on your specific service manuals and past job data, allowing it to guide users through initial diagnostics—like checking for frozen coils or error codes—while gathering details for your team. For anything beyond basics, such as electrical wiring faults, it seamlessly transfers to a live technician with full context provided. This hybrid approach resolves 75% of inquiries independently, based on our deployments, ensuring quick resolutions without frustrating customers. We also include safety protocols to advise against DIY fixes on high-risk issues.
Can it integrate with my existing HVAC scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with platforms like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber, enabling the chatbot to check real-time availability, book appointments, and update job statuses automatically. No more manual entry that leads to errors during busy seasons. In one recent project for a mid-sized HVAC firm, this cut scheduling conflicts by 60% and sped up booking confirmations from days to minutes, directly tying into your workflow for a frictionless experience.
What if a customer needs human help during off-hours?
The chatbot is designed for smooth handoffs. It collects all necessary info—symptoms, address, urgency—then notifies your on-call team via SMS or app alert, even routing to voicemail with a callback promise if needed. We've seen this reduce after-hours resolution times by 40% for clients, as the AI pre-screens and prioritizes, like flagging a potential gas leak as high priority. Your team gets a concise summary, so they hit the ground running without redundant questions.
How secure is customer data in the chatbot?
Security is paramount in home services, where sensitive info like home addresses and payment details is involved. We use enterprise-grade encryption, comply with GDPR and CCPA, and implement role-based access to ensure only authorized personnel see chat logs. Regular audits and secure API connections prevent breaches. For HVAC contractors, this means safe handling of warranty claims or service histories, with data stored in your owned system—not rented clouds prone to outages.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for my HVAC business?
Costs vary by complexity, but for a typical HVAC setup with CRM integration and basic training, expect a one-time build fee starting around $15,000, far below ongoing subscriptions that add up to $20K+ yearly. This includes deployment and three months of optimization. ROI hits fast: clients often recoup via captured leads within 4-6 months. We provide a detailed quote after a free consultation, factoring in your scale—like handling 500+ seasonal inquiries.
Will the chatbot improve during peak seasons like summer?
Yes, our systems include adaptive learning that analyzes interaction patterns, ramping up capacity for surges in AC-related queries. We monitor metrics like response accuracy and user satisfaction, tweaking prompts for hot-button issues such as compressor failures. One client saw a 50% drop in escalated chats during their busiest month post-optimization, allowing their small team to manage double the volume without burnout.
