The AI Answering Service for HVAC Contractors

Solo HVAC technicians can't answer on rooftops or in attics. Trillet screens every caller for emergency vs routine, captures system details and property information, and texts them your calendar link - so you get qualified service calls with job details, not voicemails.

The Old Way

Voicemail: "Missed call from 602-555-0184"

You: Call back, ask what the issue is, screen for emergency vs routine, get details, schedule service

The Trillet Way

Calendar: "Emergency Job: Mike P. - No Heat, Furnace Down - Today 3pm"

You: Show up. Fix it. Get paid.

Your Job Screening Process, Executed Perfectly. Every Time.

You don't need an AI to say "leave a message." You need one that knows whether someone has no heat in January or wants a quote for a new system - and whether it's residential or commercial. Trillet follows your exact screening logic - triaging emergencies, asking your questions, and only sending you jobs that are ready to book with full details captured.

Identify

Is this an existing customer or a new customer?
If existing customer → Take a message or transfer to your line
If new customer → Continue to screening

Screen

What type of HVAC work do they need?
Emergency or routine? (No heat, no AC, system failure vs maintenance, installation, tune-up)
Heating, cooling, or both?
Residential or commercial property?
Does this fit your service area and expertise?
If no fit → Politely decline and end the call professionally

Qualify

Ask your custom job intake questions:
What's the specific HVAC issue? When did it start?
System type (furnace, AC, heat pump, boiler)?
System age and last maintenance date?
Property type and size?
Any other questions specific to your business

Book

If the customer wants to move forward:
Trillet texts them your calendar booking link
You receive a full call summary with system details and transcript
The service call appears in your calendar with full context — no phone tag required

What Solo HVAC Contractors Are Saying

I was losing emergency calls during peak season when I was on rooftops or in attics. By the time I called back, they'd already hired another HVAC contractor. Now Trillet screens for emergency vs routine, captures full system details, and texts them my booking link - all while I'm literally working. I captured a $7,500 system replacement while I was on a rooftop.

Why "Message Taking" Doesn't Work for HVAC Contractors

Voicemail

The Problem:

Customers with HVAC emergencies won't leave a voicemail. It's 95 degrees or 30 degrees - they need help now and call the next HVAC contractor who answers. Emergency jobs during peak season are extremely high-value.

The Result:

Lost peak-season emergency jobs before you even know they called.

Generic AI / Answering Services

The Problem:

They take a name and number. You call back 2 hours later - they've already hired another HVAC contractor who captured their system details and urgency immediately.

The Result:

Phone tag with customers who've moved on.

Trillet

The Solution:

We screen for emergency vs routine, capture full HVAC system details and property info, and send them your booking link. You see the service call in your calendar with complete job context, not a to-do list.

The Result:

Booked jobs with details captured while you're literally on rooftops or in attics.

Common Questions from HVAC Contractors

An AI answering service answers your phone 24/7, screens customers for emergency vs routine HVAC work, captures system details and property information, and helps them book service calls — without a human dispatcher. Unlike voicemail or basic answering services that just take messages, Trillet runs your full job screening protocol so you only spend time on qualified jobs that are ready to book with full context captured.

Trillet follows a four-step job screening process: First, it identifies whether the caller is a new customer or existing customer. Second, it screens for emergency vs routine work, heating vs cooling needs, and property type. Third, it asks your custom job intake questions (specific HVAC issue, system type, age, last maintenance). Finally, if the customer is qualified and wants to proceed, Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full summary with system details and transcript after every call.

When a customer is qualified and wants to schedule HVAC work, Trillet texts them your calendar link directly during the call. They can book a time that works for both of you. You get notified with the full call summary including system and job details — no phone tag required.

Trillet will politely explain that your HVAC business doesn't serve that area and end the call professionally. You'll still receive a summary so you know who called and what they needed.

Yes. Trillet screens for urgency at the beginning of each call. Emergency situations (no heat in winter, no AC in extreme heat, system failure) are flagged and prioritized, while routine work (maintenance, tune-ups, installations) goes through standard booking. You can set custom rules for emergency routing during peak seasons.

Listen for yourself — we have a demo above. Trillet is designed for natural, professional conversation that matches the tone of your HVAC business. Many callers don't realize they're speaking with AI.

That's exactly when Trillet is most valuable. The call gets answered without you climbing down, the customer gets screened for urgency, system details are captured, and they receive your booking link — all before you finish. You see emergency jobs flagged in your calendar when you're ready, ensuring you never miss high-value peak-season work.

Yes. Our Pro plan includes field service management integration with tools like ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and others. Contact our team to set this up for your HVAC business.

Trillet starts at $29/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compare that to human answering services ($200-400/month) or the cost of one missed emergency job during peak season that goes to another HVAC contractor. Emergency HVAC jobs during summer and winter can be $500-3,000+, and system replacements are $5,000-15,000 — Trillet pays for itself many times over.

Yes. Trillet uses bank-level encryption for all calls and data. You control what questions are asked and what information is collected. We take customer confidentiality as seriously as you do.

Book More Jobs. Miss Fewer Peak-Season Emergencies.

Every missed call during summer or winter is a customer with an HVAC emergency calling someone else. Start capturing jobs 24/7 - even when you're on rooftops, in attics, or on other job sites.
