The 24/7 AI Dispatcher for HVAC & Plumbing Pros
Capture the "No Heat" and "Burst Pipe" calls instantly. Our AI dispatches true emergencies, books routine tune-ups, texts back the calls you miss, and syncs with your dispatch software, so you never miss a $15k install.
When the Weather Spikes, Your Phones Melt Down.
You know the drill: The first freeze or heatwave hits, and you get 50 calls an hour. You can't answer them all manually.
- The "On-Call" Burnout: Your best techs quit because they keep getting woken up at 2 AM for non-emergencies (like a dirty filter).
- The "Missed Install" Cost: If you don't pick up a "System Failure" call in 30 seconds, that homeowner calls the next guy. You just lost a $12,000 replacement job.
- The Result: You are busy, but you are leaving the highest-margin work on the table.
Can an AI Dispatcher Really Handle HVAC and Plumbing Calls?
Yes. An AI dispatcher for HVAC and plumbing companies answers every inbound call 24/7, asks the triage questions your own dispatcher would ("Is water actively leaking?", "Is anyone without heat?"), and routes the call based on your rules: true emergencies get a warm handoff or an immediate page to the on-call tech, while routine repairs and tune-ups are booked straight into your schedule. AIEmply's AI dispatcher quotes your standard dispatch fee, captures the caller's name, address, equipment details, and books jobs into tools like Housecall Pro and Jobber automatically. It handles unlimited simultaneous calls, so when a heatwave fills your phone lines, callers get answered instead of getting your voicemail, and the calls nobody could pick up get a text back within seconds. Plans start at $149/month, and it's live in one to three weeks.
Intelligent Dispatch. Protect Your Techs' Sleep.
True Emergency Screening (The Gatekeeper)
The AI knows the difference between a "Dripping Faucet" and a "Flooded Basement." Scenario A: "My pilot light is out." Routine. Books for Monday. Scenario B: "There is water coming through the ceiling." Emergency. Routes to the On-Call Tech immediately.
Surge Capacity for Peak Season
Handle 100 simultaneous calls during a heatwave without hiring temp staff. The AI captures every lead, ensuring you build a backlog of work while your competitors send callers to voicemail.
Membership & Service Agreement Focus
The AI can check if the caller is an existing "VIP Member" and prioritize their booking, protecting your recurring revenue base.
By text, too
The calls your crew can't take get a text in seconds
Under a sink, on a roof, in a crawlspace: the AI SMS Employee texts back every missed call within seconds, answers the web-form and lead-ad inquiries the moment they land, and keeps following up until the job is booked.
- Missed-call text back in seconds"Sorry we missed you, what do you need?" goes out before the homeowner has dialed the next company, and the job gets booked in the thread.
- Web-form and lead-ad follow-up in secondsThe "AC installation cost?" form filled in at 9pm gets a real reply with your qualifying questions, not a next-morning callback.
- The 30-day follow-up cadenceThe replacement quote that went quiet is followed up on day 1, 2, 5, 12 and 30, each time with a reason to reply, and stops the moment they book or say stop.
- Booking, reminders and seasonal check-ins by textSlots booked against real availability, a reminder the day before, and a fall tune-up or spring service reminder when it is due.

Replying from your business number
No heat at all, house is freezing
11:04 PMThat is not a night to wait out. Is the thermostat showing anything at all, and is the furnace switch still on?
11:04 PMScreen is blank
11:06 PMSounds electrical rather than the furnace itself, which is usually a quicker fix. Emergency call-out is $180 tonight, or $95 if it can hold until 8 AM. Which would you rather?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it follow my specific On-Call schedule?
Yes. You can upload your rotation. Monday is "Mike," Tuesday is "Steve." The AI routes accordingly.
Does it work with ServiceTitan?
Yes. For ServiceTitan, we can book directly into your 'Unassigned' capacity via your online booking portal or GHL dashboard. For modern CRMs like Housecall Pro and Jobber, we sync directly via API.
Can it quote prices?
It can quote your standard "Dispatch Fee" (e.g., "$89 to get a truck out"). It won't quote repairs over the phone or by text.
How does it handle angry customers?
It listens, acknowledges the frustration, and escalates the ticket to a manager for priority review.
What if I'm on a job and can't answer?
That's exactly when AIEmply is most valuable. While you're working on a job, the AI answers every call, qualifies the issue, books appointments, and routes emergencies to you. Any call it cannot take gets a text back within seconds. You never lose a customer because you were busy on a job site. This is especially important for emergency HVAC and plumbing services.
What happens if someone calls during peak season?
The AI handles high call volumes efficiently. It can answer multiple calls simultaneously, qualify issues, book appointments, and route emergencies. Even during peak HVAC season (summer/winter) or plumbing emergencies, your AI receptionist ensures every call is answered professionally.
