HVAC · Done-for-you AI

AI for HVAC Contractors. We run it. You run the jobs.

HVAC runs on two rushes a year and a phone that rings when you are on a roof. We run the quote follow-up, invoices, seasonal reminders and review requests, so the work around each call still gets done.

We do not answer phones and we do not provide an AI receptionist. Here is what those tools actually do.

Where the money leaks

HVAC is a seasonal business run, in July and in January, by one person trying to be in three places.

The calls come in bursts, the quotes pile up, and the maintenance agreements that smooth out the slow months only renew if somebody remembers to ask.

Quotes go to the graveyard

A quote that gets no reply in the first week usually gets no reply at all, and in peak season nobody has time to follow up on the ones that went quiet.

Invoices wait on the owner

Invoices go out when the owner gets off the roof, and the overdue ones wait even longer because nobody wants to make that call.

Tune-up season is missed

Maintenance agreements and seasonal tune-ups only happen if somebody reaches out to the whole list before the rush, which is exactly when there is no time to.

Happy customers never review

The best reviews come right after a good job, and the request only goes out if somebody remembers to send it.

We should be clear about the phone. We do not answer your calls and we do not provide an AI receptionist. We wrote about what those tools actually do as a market category. What we handle is everything around the call: the quote, the follow-up, the invoice, the reminder and the review request.

A day, before and after

The same day, with the office work handled.

7:00 am
Yesterday’s quotes are still unsent; the new calls are stacking up.
Quotes are drafted for your approval and go out the same morning, with follow-up scheduled after each one.
Midday
You are on a roof; nothing happens in the office until you are down.
Invoices, reminders and review requests keep going out without you, because they do not depend on you being at a desk.
Before the season
Tune-up reminders are a good idea you never get to.
The whole customer list gets a tune-up reminder ahead of the rush, and the replies come to you as booked jobs.
An illustrative day, not a customer result. The helpers that run it are listed below.

This is probably not a fit if…

You want software you control. Plenty of good HVAC contractor platforms exist and some owners genuinely enjoy running them. If that is you, buy one. You will be happier and it will cost less.

Your process only exists in your head. We can document it as part of onboarding, but if nothing is written down and nothing is consistent, automation will faithfully reproduce the inconsistency.

You are looking for someone to answer the phone. That is a live answering service, and it is a real thing to buy, just not from us.

If none of those apply, book a free 30-minute call, or run the numbers yourself first with our back-office ROI calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI for HVAC Contractors: quick answers

Can AI actually help an HVAC contractor?

For the office work, yes. That is where most small HVAC contractors lose money, not on the trade work itself. Quote and estimate follow-up, invoice chasing, scheduling coordination, reminders and review responses are repetitive, rule-based tasks that run reliably once they are set up properly. The trade work still needs your crew. The paperwork around it does not.

Does TVP provide an AI receptionist for HVAC companies?

No. We do not answer phones or provide an AI receptionist. If you already use an answering service or a receptionist tool, we can connect it to your scheduling, quotes and follow-up so the call turns into a booked job instead of a note on someone’s desk. See our case studies for an example of that setup.

Can AI follow up on HVAC quotes and invoices?

Yes. Both are rule-based: a message after a set number of days, another after a week, and a flag to you when a customer replies or an invoice crosses a threshold. We set the rules, write the messages in your voice, and run it.

Do I have to learn new software?

No. That is the difference between what we do and buying a tool. We connect to the systems you already use, configure the automation, run it, and stay responsible for it when something breaks. You do not administer it, and there is no dashboard you are expected to check.

Does TVP answer my phones?

No. We do not provide phone answering or an AI receptionist, and we would rather say that plainly than let you assume otherwise. What we handle is everything that happens around the call: the follow-up, the quote, the invoice, the reminder and the review reply.

What does this cost for an HVAC contractor?

Plans start at $297/mo for the AI Admin Assistant, $697/mo for the AI Office Manager and $1,497/mo for the full AI Back Office. Flat monthly fee, month to month, no long-term contract. Which tier fits depends on how many of these loops you want running, not on the size of your fleet.
