Questions
What is AI for HVAC companies?
Aestar is an AI revenue desk built for heating and air conditioning companies. It brings several revenue workflows into one operating queue: it works as an AI answering service that answers every call live, 24/7, benchmarks your prices against typical ranges for your trade, drafts replies to your Google reviews, wins back past maintenance customers, books and tracks every job, chases every open estimate until it closes, and preps a short briefing in your dashboard every Monday. There is nothing to install and no new app to learn.
How does an AI answering service work for HVAC?
Aestar answers your line live, 24/7, tells the caller up front it's an AI assistant, and can book a real appointment against your calendar. On a 115-degree day when every AC company is slammed, a call that gets answered is often the difference between booking the job and losing it to the next contractor. Your live phone number connects during onboarding.
Where do the HVAC pricing benchmarks come from?
Pricing review starts from typical price ranges for jobs like AC tune-ups, capacitor and compressor repairs, and full system installs, then learns your real prices from you — a quick chat or an uploaded invoice — and flags where you're leaving money on the table. You decide what to apply; nothing changes automatically.
Do I need to change my phone number or install software?
No. There is no software to install and you keep your existing number. We build your dashboard before you pay anything, and your phone line and tools connect during a short onboarding call once you decide to keep going.
Does an HVAC answering service handle after-hours and weekend calls?
Yes — that's the point. Aestar answers your line 24/7, tells the caller up front it's an AI assistant, gets the address and the problem, and can book the visit against real availability. A Saturday-night no-cool call lands on your schedule instead of another shop's.
Can the AI book AC repair appointments, or just take a message?
It books when the calendar confirms a slot. If provider state is uncertain, it takes a message rather than claim a booking. Every attempt shows up on the desk.
