Aestar is AI for HVAC companies that works like a full-time operations manager for a fraction of the cost. It runs as an HVAC answering service AI that texts back the calls you miss, benchmarks your prices against other heating and air conditioning contractors in your area, drafts a reply to every Google review, and wins back the maintenance customers you served last season. You keep the trucks moving; your AI keeps the office running. Here's exactly how an AI answering service, HVAC pricing benchmarks, and automated review management turn into booked jobs — and how to try it free for 14 days.
In HVAC, a missed call in July is a lost install
HVAC demand comes in brutal spikes. On the first 110° day of the summer, every phone in the valley rings at once — and the typical shop misses an estimated 20–30% of inbound calls because the office is buried. That homeowner with a dead compressor doesn't leave a voicemail; they call the next company on Google, and a $6,500 system install goes to your competitor.
The quieter leak is pricing. Most HVAC contractors set their tune-up and repair prices years ago and never revisited them. A $89 tune-up that the market prices at $129, a capacitor swap at $180 when comps say $240 — that's margin you're giving away on every truck roll. Aestar closes both leaks with real numbers you can see.
What your AI does for your HVAC company
AI answering service
The second a call goes to voicemail, your AI texts the caller from your number so the lead never goes cold on your busiest day. Recover a few no-cool emergency calls a month and you've covered the service many times over.
Recovers lost jobsHVAC pricing benchmarks
We track what other HVAC companies in your area charge for tune-ups, capacitor and compressor repairs, and full system installs, then flag where you're under market: "Raise AC tune-up $89 → $129" or "Full system install $6,500 → $7,400."
Refreshed monthlyReviews & reputation
Homeowners choose HVAC by star rating. Aestar drafts a reply to every review — including the calm, professional response to the angry one-star — and nudges satisfied customers to post the review you already earned.
More reviews, fewer firesMaintenance win-back
Your past customers are your easiest revenue. Aestar finds the systems due for a seasonal tune-up or a lapsed maintenance plan and sends a "time for your check-up" text — turning your service history into booked work.

Built in Phoenix. Works anywhere.
Aestar was built for Phoenix-metro home-service pros — HVAC companies in Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale, Tempe and Chandler, where AC isn't optional — and it serves heating and air conditioning contractors nationwide. The pricing engine benchmarks against your local market wherever you operate, and the missed-call and review agents work the same on a two-truck shop as they do on a twenty-truck operation.
One price. The whole AI operations manager.
Start free for 14 days, then $499/mo, all-in — every agent included, less than a quarter of what a part-time office hire would cost. The one-time $500 setup fee is waived if you convert during the pilot. Anchor it on what one recovered system install is worth.
