AI Sidekick for HVAC

Every missed call is a job your competitor just booked.

HVAC contractors lose up to $120,000 a year to unanswered calls. AI Sidekick texts back instantly, books estimates 24/7, and follows up with every lead automatically — so you never lose another job while you're on one.

Sound familiar?

You're on the roof. The phone's ringing.

You can't answer every call when you're running a crew, troubleshooting a unit, or driving between jobs. But every unanswered call is a homeowner who's already dialing the next company on Google.

Saturday, 9:14 PM
AC goes out in July heat
Homeowner calls your number. It rings out to voicemail. They hang up and call the next contractor on Google.
With AI Sidekick: Instant text back within seconds. Homeowner describes the issue over text. You wake up to a booked estimate for 8am.
Tuesday, 2:30 PM
3 calls come in during an install
You're on a ladder running refrigerant lines. Your phone buzzes three times in 20 minutes. All three go to voicemail. None leave a message.
With AI Sidekick: All three get an immediate text. Two schedule estimates, one asks for pricing. You handle it after the install.
Thursday, 10:00 AM
Quote follow-up falls through the cracks
You gave someone an estimate last week. Meant to follow up. Got busy. They went with someone else.
With AI Sidekick: Automated follow-up sequence checks in at day 2, 5, and 10. The homeowner books when they're ready.

How it works

Set it up once. It runs forever.

01
We set up your system
We connect to your phone line and customize every message to match your company's voice. Installation takes less than 48 hours — no tech skills needed.
02
Every missed call gets a text
When a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a friendly, immediate text. The AI handles the conversation — asks about the issue, home size, availability — and books the appointment.
03
Leads get followed up automatically
Every quote, estimate, and inquiry gets an automated follow-up sequence. After the job, customers are prompted to leave a Google review.

HVAC-Specific Questions

You're probably wondering.

Yes. We customize every response for HVAC specifically — it asks the right questions (system type, home size, what's happening with the unit) and speaks your customers' language. It's not a generic chatbot — it's trained for your business.
The AI identifies emergencies (no heat in winter, no AC in summer, gas smell, water leak) and can immediately escalate by texting or calling your on-call tech directly. You set the rules for what gets escalated and to whom.
AI Sidekick works alongside your existing tools. We don't replace your dispatch software — we fill the gap before a lead makes it into your system. Think of us as the front door that makes sure no lead slips through the cracks.
Within seconds. Research shows that 85% of people who don't get an answer will never call back (Smith.ai). The instant text-back catches them before they've even finished dialing your competitor.
They absolutely can. The AI lets them know a team member will call them back, and you get notified immediately. The goal isn't to replace you — it's to hold the lead until you're available, instead of losing them to voicemail.
Small shops are actually where this makes the biggest difference. You don't have a receptionist or call center. If you're missing even 10 calls a month at $1,200 average job value, that's $12,000/month walking away. The system pays for itself with one recovered job.
