What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unmatched Efficiency for Your HVAC Operations
Faster Service Dispatch and Reduced No-Shows
Our system auto-assigns jobs based on technician skills and real-time GPS location, cutting dispatch time from hours to minutes for urgent plumbing leaks or AC breakdowns. HVAC firms see a 35% drop in travel miles and a 25% increase in daily completions, freeing your team for more billable work like seasonal tune-ups.
Error-Free Invoicing and Quicker Payments
AI captures job details on-site, such as refrigerant usage or pipe fittings, and generates accurate invoices instantly, integrating with QuickBooks to eliminate manual errors. Contractors report 40% faster collections on residential jobs and 90% fewer disputes over part markups, boosting cash flow during slow winter months.
Proactive Maintenance to Retain Loyal Clients
Automated reminders for filter changes, duct cleanings, and annual system checks nurture relationships, turning one-off repairs into recurring maintenance contracts. This approach has helped firms increase retention by 28% for boiler and radiator services, with clients praising the reliability during peak heating seasons.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our outdated Zapier setup crashed every summer rush, leaving techs waiting on capacitor and compressor parts info for AC installs. Now, the custom system predicts shortages via integrated supplier APIs and routes jobs flawlessly—we saved 12 hours a week on dispatch and landed three new commercial HVAC contracts last quarter alone."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, CoolBreeze HVAC Services Inc.
"I was skeptical about ditching our subscription-based software, but their build integrated our old dispatch tool with real-time inventory tracking for plumbing fittings overnight. No more double-booking emergencies like burst pipes; our response time dropped to under 20 minutes, and billing errors on water heater replacements vanished completely."
Sarah Thompson
Owner, Precision Air and Plumbing Solutions
"The AI handles follow-ups for annual furnace tune-ups and electrical panel inspections automatically, which used to slip through the cracks amid busy seasons. We've retained 85% of our maintenance clients this year for whole-home systems, and the one-time build cost paid for itself in just four months through upsold ductwork services."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom system differ from Zapier for my HVAC business?
Zapier excels at quick, one-way connections but often fails under heavy use, like during a heatwave when calls flood in. Our AIQ Labs solution builds a bespoke, bidirectional system tailored to HVAC specifics—think auto-routing techs to AC breakdowns while syncing inventory in real-time. You own the code, so no subscription hikes or breakage from updates. We've seen contractors cut manual interventions by 60%, turning chaotic days into streamlined operations. It's like upgrading from a rented toolbox to a custom workshop built for your trade.
What if I already use ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?
No problem—we specialize in deep integrations with those platforms. We'll connect them to your accounting, inventory, and even weather APIs for predictive scheduling, like prepping for storm-related surges. Unlike Zapier's limits on task volumes, our system handles unlimited automations without extra costs. For one client, this unified our dispatch and billing, reducing errors by 45% and saving two full-time admin hours weekly. We start with a free audit to ensure it fits your setup perfectly.
How long does it take to build and see results?
Typically, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks, with full deployment in 8-10, depending on complexity. Early wins come fast: one HVAC firm had automated invoicing live in three weeks, collecting payments 30% quicker. Post-launch, we optimize based on your data, ensuring it adapts to seasonal demands. It's not just faster—it's built to last, avoiding the constant tweaks Zapier requires. Your team gets training included, so adoption is smooth from day one.
Is this more expensive than monthly Zapier fees?
Upfront, yes, but it's a one-time investment that pays off quickly. Zapier can run $500+ monthly for high-volume HVAC use, totaling $6,000 yearly—our custom builds average $15,000-$25,000, recouping in under a year through efficiency gains. No ongoing fees mean you own it, scaling without penalties. Clients report 50% lower total costs after 18 months, plus the flexibility to add features like AI diagnostics without vendor approval. Think long-term ownership versus endless renting.
Can it handle compliance for HVAC regulations?
Absolutely. We embed compliance into the core, auto-logging refrigerant usage, safety checks, and certifications per EPA standards. For example, it timestamps all furnace installs with digital signatures, making audits a breeze—no more scrambling through paper trails. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our system flags issues proactively, like expired licenses during job assignment. One contractor avoided a $10,000 fine thanks to these built-in safeguards, ensuring your operations stay legal and efficient.
What support do I get after the build?
We don't just hand it off. Included is 90 days of hands-on support, plus optional maintenance at a flat annual rate—far less than Zapier's support black hole. Our team monitors performance, fixes any glitches, and suggests optimizations based on your usage data, like refining routes for winter boiler calls. For ongoing needs, we offer priority access to our engineers. This partnership approach has kept 95% of our HVAC clients running smoothly for years, evolving the system as your business grows.
