No-heat calls don't wait for business hours.
Voice + Chat agents for HVAC companies
24/7 emergency call handling, intelligent triage, instant scheduling, and proactive follow-ups — all managed for you.
Meta Squad AI builds and manages voice and chat agents for HVAC companies. We handle emergency triage, appointment booking, and follow-ups so your team can focus on service calls. Our agents capture equipment details, assess urgency, and route calls appropriately—with immediate escalation for safety concerns.
The challenge
Common pain points we hear from hvac businesses:
- After-hours 'no heat' and 'no AC' emergencies don't wait for business hours
- Seasonal demand spikes overwhelm your phone lines
- Urgent calls get mixed with routine maintenance requests
- Techs arrive without complete job information
- Missed calls go to competitors who answer faster
- Follow-up reminders fall through the cracks
- Customers expect instant responses, day or night
- Staff can't keep up during peak seasons
The outcome
What hvac businesses achieve with our AI agents:
- Every emergency call answered and triaged automatically
- Urgent vs routine calls separated instantly
- Appointments booked with confirmed availability
- Techs get complete job info before arriving
