Sales Desk for HVAC companies

Turn no heat calls into booked visits.

When your techs are out and the office is closed, the Sales Desk answers, works out what is wrong, and books the visit, so the homeowner never calls the next company.

The call you never hear about.

A homeowner’s furnace quits on a Sunday night, and the house is getting cold.

The office is closed, and the tech on call is already at another house.

Nobody picks up. She calls the next company on the list, and they get the replacement too.

  1. Sales DeskThanks for calling Ridgeview Heating and Air. How can I help?
  2. KellyHi, our furnace stopped working and the house is getting cold.
  3. Sales DeskI’m sorry, that’s no fun on a night like this. Is it blowing cold air, or not running at all?
  4. KellyNot running at all. The thermostat is on, but nothing happens.
  5. Sales DeskOkay. Is there anyone at home who could have a hard time in the cold, like young kids or someone older?
  6. KellyWe have two little kids, yes.
  7. Sales DeskThen I’m marking this urgent and sending it to the technician on call right now. I can also hold the first visit tomorrow at eight. Would that work?
  8. KellyYes, please. Thank you.
  9. Sales DeskYou’re booked for tomorrow at eight, and you’ll get a text confirming it. If the technician can come sooner tonight, they’ll call you at this number.

The technician on call

Asked to hear from the technician tonight if anyone can come sooner.

A made up business and caller. The voice answering is the Sales Desk.

Your team keeps working. The desk covers what they miss.

After hours and weekends

The calls that come in after the office closes still get answered and booked.

When every line is busy

The office is on another call and the crew is on a job. The call still gets handled.

When it needs a person

Urgent calls and anyone who asks for a person go straight to your team.

Fair questions.

Can it tell a real emergency from a routine call?

Yes. You set what counts as urgent, like no heat with young kids at home, and those calls go to your on call tech.

Does it book maintenance visits too?

Yes. It books tune ups and plan visits into the times you open for them.

Will it replace my office?

No. It picks up the calls your team can’t get to: after hours, on weekends, and when every line is busy.

Do we change our phone number?

No. Calls your team does not answer ring through to the desk, and it answers in your company’s name.

Is it AI?

Yes. An AI voice assistant answers, set up with your services and watched by our team.

Hear it before you decide.

Call it the way one of your customers would. If it isn’t good enough for them, don’t use it.
