For HVAC contractors
The best AI receptionist
for HVAC contractors.
Emergency calls in heatwaves and freezes convert hot. If you answer.
A Saturday morning, told straight
It's 95 degrees and the AC just died. They're calling the next HVAC company on the list.
It's a Friday afternoon in July. A young family's central AC just stopped. The house is heating up. The toddler is melting. They're on the third HVAC company they Googled and the first two didn't pick up.
You're on a job swapping out a compressor. Your tech doesn't answer the office line. The family books with a national chain that quoted them $14,000 for a full system over the phone. You would have done it for $9,500.
Foan answers in two seconds. Asks them what's happening, runs through the basic triage (is the unit running but not cooling, breaker tripped, blower working), books them onto your same-day priority list. Texts you the address and the symptoms before they hang up.
HVAC emergencies pay a premium because the urgency is real. Anyone who answers the phone in a heatwave can charge $200-$400 just for the call-out. The job behind it is $1,500 for a repair, $8k-$25k for a system swap.
The math is brutal: at 5-8 missed emergency calls a week in peak season, average ticket $1,200, you're leaving $5k-$10k on the table every week of summer. Foan is $49.
Same pattern works for furnace failures in winter, no-heat emergencies, refrigerant leaks, and full system replacements.
