24/7 AI Receptionist & Growth Engine for Heating & Air Conditioning Contractors
Never lose an emergency AC or furnace replacement to a fast competitor. 71Media captures after-hours calls, automates missed-call text-backs, and dominates Google Maps for HVAC contractors.
Why Traditional HVAC Marketing Wastes Thousands in High-Ticket Jobs
In the heating and cooling industry, homeowners in urgent distress do not leave voicemails. When an AC compressor blows in July or a furnace dies in December, 84% of callers hire the first contractor who answers live.
The 6 PM Voicemail Graveyard
Over 40% of emergency HVAC inquiries occur after 5:00 PM or over the weekend. Sending homeowners to an unmonitored voicemail pushes them straight to your nearest competitor.
$100+ Wasted Google Clicks
Paying high cost-per-click on Google Local Services Ads or Search is useless if the prospect hits a delayed intake form. Every minute of callback delay drops close rates by 391%.
Unanswered Replacement Quotes
Estimators deliver $8,000–$15,000 system proposals, but busy office staff fail to execute persistent multi-touch follow-up, leaving tens of thousands on the table each month.

Frequently Asked Questions for HVAC Contractors
Clear, practical answers regarding HVAC telephony, dispatch integrations, and launch timelines.
Can the AI receptionist handle complex emergency vs. non-emergency HVAC calls?
Yes. The AI is customized with your exact dispatch logic. For true emergencies (e.g. heating out in sub-zero winter temperatures, severe water leaks from rooftop units), it executes a warm phone transfer to your on-call technician. For standard diagnostic appointments or seasonal tune-ups, it books the job directly into your dispatch calendar.
How does the missed-call auto text-back work when technicians are on a call?
If a homeowner calls and your lines are busy, our system sends a personalized text within 10 seconds: 'Hi, this is [Company Name]. We missed your call while assisting another homeowner. Are you experiencing an AC or heating emergency?' Homeowners reply via SMS, and the AI qualifies the job and provides a booking link immediately.
Does 71Media integrate with our existing HVAC dispatch calendar?
Yes. We integrate directly with Google Calendar, Outlook, and major field service software via webhook connectors. The AI only books slots within your pre-set service windows and technician availability.
How fast can this HVAC growth system be live in our business?
Under our 7-Day Web & Growth Launch Guarantee, your custom website, Google Business Profile optimization, and 24/7 AI voice receptionist will be fully configured, tested, and live within 7 calendar days.
