HVAC
AI receptionist & lead generation for HVAC companies. It answers at 2am.
HVAC demand doesn't arrive politely. It hits on the first heat wave, the first freeze, and the no-heat call at 2am — exactly when your techs are on a roof, in an attic, or asleep. Adrective installs the AI receptionist, website, and ad system that catch those calls, qualify the job, and book it before the homeowner dials the next company.
The HVAC leak
The phone rings while the crew is on the roof. Nobody's there to answer.
HVAC is a calls-driven business with brutal timing. The work happens in attics, crawlspaces, and on rooftops — the exact places a phone can't be answered. So the call goes to voicemail, and a homeowner standing in a cold house or a 90-degree living room doesn't leave one. They scroll to the next name and call it. The job you would have won is now someone else's invoice.
An answering service reads a script and takes a message. Voicemail does nothing. A second person at the desk is expensive year-round and still goes home at 5pm — right before the after-work rush of homeowners who finally noticed the furnace quit. None of that fixes the problem at the times it actually costs you: nights, weekends, and the opening days of the season.
What gets installed
Three parts of an HVAC front office, built and wired together.
We don't sell products. We install outcomes — the receptionist that answers, the site that converts, and the ads that feed both.
The AI receptionist
Branded as Clovis for your company, trained on your services, service area, and pricing. Answers nights, weekends, and overflow, then drops every lead in a dashboard.
The conversion website
A site built to turn a furnace-emergency search into a booked call — fast, clear, and built around the job. One-time $1,750 with six months of uptime included.
The Meta ad system
Seasonal tune-up offers and emergency-service campaigns aimed at homeowners in your service area, feeding straight into the receptionist that books them.
Built for the spikes
You can't staff for peak. The receptionist doesn't need to.
HVAC demand is famously lumpy. The first real heat wave and the first hard freeze turn a normal day into a wall of calls, all at once, all urgent. You can't hire a front desk big enough for those few weeks and afford to keep it the rest of the year. So peak season is when the most calls go unanswered — the worst possible time to leak leads.
The receptionist answers every line simultaneously. When ten homeowners call in the same hour because their AC died on the same hot afternoon, it qualifies and books all ten — no hold music, no voicemail, no "we're slammed, call back." It absorbs the surge you can't, and it costs the same on a quiet Tuesday as it does on the busiest day of summer.
Off-season it's quiet. Opening weekend it's ten receptionists. You pay for one.
Speed-to-lead
For a no-heat call, minutes decide who gets the job.
The industry benchmark for responding to a new lead is under five minutes. Most local businesses are measured in hours. For HVAC that gap is especially expensive, because an emergency caller isn't shopping — they want the fastest company that picks up. The first real human voice they reach usually gets the job, and every minute they wait is a minute they spend dialing your competitor.
The receptionist closes that gap to zero. It answers on the first ring at 2am, recognizes a no-heat or no-AC emergency, captures the address and the symptom, books the soonest available slot, and routes the lead to your on-call tech — all before a callback would have even started. The same speed-to-lead leak shows up in plumbing and electrical work, which is why the trades that live and die by the emergency call are the ones this fits best.
- Answers on the first ring, day or night, no voicemail and no hold queue
- Recognizes an emergency and captures the address, system, and symptom up front
- Books the soonest slot or flags the call for your on-call technician
- Routes every lead to a dashboard so nothing slips through the cracks

If your phone rings and homeowners book jobs, it fits.
Straight answers
The questions HVAC owners actually ask.
Can it handle a no-heat or no-AC call at 2am?
Yes. It answers around the clock, recognizes the emergency, captures the address and the problem, and either books the soonest slot or flags it for your on-call tech. The homeowner gets a real conversation instead of voicemail — so they stop dialing instead of moving on to the next company.
What happens when calls spike at the start of the season?
It answers every line at once. The first heat wave and the first freeze are when most HVAC companies miss the most calls, because you can't staff a front desk for a few peak weeks. The receptionist absorbs that overflow, qualifies each caller, and books the jobs that would otherwise hit voicemail.
Do I have to switch my dispatch or CRM software?
No. We wire into what you already run — Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, or a custom build. If your stack works, we connect to it instead of replacing it.
How fast can it go live, and am I locked in?
The phone is typically live in 7 to 10 days, with the full system installed in about 30. It's month-to-month after install, you own everything we build, and you can cancel any time with no exit fees. There's also a 90-day guarantee: if the system isn't producing measurable booked-job growth in 90 days, we refund the install fee and keep working.
What does it cost?
The audit is free. The conversion website is a one-time $1,750 that includes six months of uptime. The receptionist and ad management are quoted to your call volume, service area, and spend — not a public sticker price that's wrong for half the companies that read it. More on pricing →
