GEO Agent

Follow-up Agent

Close more HVAC replacement quotes with follow-up that never forgets

The $9,000 system quote stops stalling. Replacement quotes sit for weeks while homeowners compare bids, so the Follow-up Agent drafts the day three and day eight touches in your voice. You approve, it sends.

  • Every open replacement quote tracked and followed up
  • Each follow-up drafted with something useful in it
  • One recovered replacement pays for years of the software

Review + Referral Agents

Get more Google reviews and fill the shoulder seasons

The review ask goes out while the house is finally cool again. Between spikes, last winter's furnace customers get the tune-up and maintenance plan offer almost nobody sends.

  • Review requested after every call, at the right moment
  • Past customers reactivated into October and April work
  • Unpaid invoices followed up politely, on schedule

The team

Ten agents on an HVAC company's payroll, from $60/mo

Follow-up Agent

chases every open replacement quote on a schedule. The $8,000 system estimate gets its day-three and day-eight touches in your voice, which is where HVAC's biggest leak closes.

Review Agent

asks for the Google review while the house is finally cool again. Fresh reviews are what pack leaders have: a median of 67 in our data.

Referral Agent

turns last winter's furnace customers into this summer's AC tune-ups and referrals. The seasonal list almost no shop works.

Partnerships Agent

Finds the realtors, builders, designers and property managers in your towns who send steady work, and drafts the intro.

Inbox Agent

Reads your email, matches every message to the right customer and job, and drafts the reply.

Content Agent

writes the cost pages assistants quote ("AC replacement cost in [your town]") from your real search data, ready to publish.

SEO Agent

Fixes what keeps your site at the county's median 28/100 and builds the town pages competitors already own.

GEO Agent

asks ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Claude "best HVAC company in your towns" weekly, records who gets named, and closes the gaps that kept our case-study company out of both answers.

Collections Agent

Follows up on finished installs that haven't paid, politely and on schedule, so the season's revenue actually lands.

Calendar Agent

Plans the week around revenue and books it into your real Google Calendar.

What an assistant can actually quote

Case study: a 4.8-star HVAC company that AI assistants skip. We audited an Elizabeth, NJ heating-and-cooling company with 4.8 stars across 174 reviews and a 95/100 Google Business Profile. It wasn't in the map pack for "HVAC contractor in Elizabeth, NJ," and when we asked assistants who to hire, including "who should I hire to replace my furnace," it was named in zero of two answers. Rivals with deep directory footprints took both.

Real ServiceHarness audit, July 2026: live Google and AI-assistant results on the day; business anonymized.

ServiceHarness analysis of 1,473 licensed home-service contractors in Union County, New Jersey (state licensing rolls), July 2026. Live Google map packs and AI-assistant answers measured per trade and town. Aggregates only; no individual business is identified. August 2026 refresh: aggregate queries re-run across 1,814 tracked Union County home-service businesses (the licensed roll plus 341 Google-listed businesses), with the plumbing, electrical and HVACR licensing rolls broken out per trade. Aggregates only; no individual business is identified.

The CRM inside

A CRM for HVAC companies that fills itself

ServiceHarness is also the CRM your heating and cooling business runs on. Every customer, quote and job lives on one timeline, and the agents keep it current, so nothing depends on you typing notes at 9pm. Most important, it knows when to reach out to get booked: the quote going cold on day three, the past customer due for a re-ask, the review moment right after a job. It drafts that outreach on the right day.

  • Knows the day to reach out: cold quotes, due re-asks, renewal windows
  • Every lead, quote and heating and cooling job on one customer timeline
  • Records update themselves as the agents work. No data entry.
  • Past customers sorted into review, referral and win-back plays
  • See exactly which channel sent every job you booked

What is ServiceHarness for HVAC companies?

ServiceHarness is an AI Chief Revenue Officer for HVAC companies. Ten AI agents watch where your business appears (Google's map pack, ChatGPT, Google AI) and run the standing work that decides it: review requests after every install, follow-up on every open replacement quote, town pages that rank, and tune-up reactivation between seasons. You approve everything, from $60 a month.

HVAC companies: frequently asked questions

What does ServiceHarness do for HVAC companies?

ServiceHarness is an AI Chief Revenue Officer for heating and cooling companies. Ten AI agents chase every replacement quote until it signs, ask for Google reviews after every call, reactivate past customers into tune-ups between seasons, track whether ChatGPT and Google AI recommend you and fix why not, publish town and cost pages that rank, and chase unpaid invoices. Every message waits for your approval.

How do HVAC companies get more replacement installs?

Replacements are won twice: first in the answer (the map pack or AI response the homeowner sees when they search "AC replacement near me") and again in the follow-up, because a $4,500–$12,000 quote rarely closes on the first visit. Showing up in the answer and chasing every open quote on a schedule are exactly the two jobs the agents run.

How much does ServiceHarness cost for an HVAC company?

Plans start at $60/month (Starter), with Growth at $100/month and Scale at $200/month. Chat with your AI CRO is unlimited and free on every plan. No setup fee, no contract, and you can grade your business free before signing up.

How much does ServiceHarness save an HVAC company compared to hiring people?

The same coverage with people (part-time marketing coordinator, local SEO retainer, review service, content writer, follow-up help) runs $5,500–$10,500 a month at market rates. At the $60 entry plan that's $5,440–$10,440 kept monthly, about $65,000–$125,000 a year.

How do I get my HVAC company recommended by ChatGPT?

Assistants recommend the HVAC companies that trusted sources document best: consistent directory profiles, recent reviews, and website pages that plainly answer cost and service questions for your towns. ServiceHarness asks the real questions weekly, shows who's being named instead of you, and its Content and SEO agents build the missing pieces.

How do I keep HVAC crews busy in the shoulder seasons?

With the list you already own: last season's customers. A systematic tune-up and maintenance-plan re-ask to past furnace and AC customers fills October and April, and it's the Referral Agent's standing job: 5–10% of past customers book when asked, and almost nobody asks.

Why isn't my HVAC business in Google's map pack?

In the 26 live packs we measured, ranked businesses carried a median of 41 reviews, 97% listed hours, and leaders held 10+ photos with a median of 67 reviews. The pack rewards continuously maintained profiles, and strong-but-stale is the most common gap: in our August 2026 refresh, 52% of the 198 reviewed businesses we measured had added zero new reviews in ninety days. Fixable upkeep, not a mystery.

Is ServiceHarness a CRM for HVAC companies?

It includes one: customers, jobs and quotes live in it, but the difference is that the agents work the database instead of waiting for you to. The open replacement quote gets chased, the past customer gets the tune-up ask, the aging invoice gets a nudge, all drafted for your approval.

Does ServiceHarness send anything without my approval?

No. Every review request, follow-up, and reactivation message is drafted and queued for you first. Approve one at a time, or let message types you trust flow. The default is you see everything.

Do I need a website for it to work?

No. Only 18% of the 66 licensed HVACR contractors in Union County run one (August 2026). The agents start where HVAC calls actually come from: your Google profile, reviews, and follow-up. The Content and SEO agents make a website count when you're ready.

What is GEO for HVAC companies?

GEO, generative engine optimization, is making sure AI assistants name your company when homeowners ask who should fix or replace their system. ServiceHarness measures it with live weekly questions across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Claude, and closes the gaps that keep good companies out of the answers.

Where does the research data on this page come from?

From ServiceHarness's own analysis of every licensed home-service contractor in Union County, New Jersey: websites graded, 26 live map packs measured, and AI assistants asked real buyer questions with answers recorded (July 2026). The aggregate queries were re-run in August 2026 across 1,814 tracked businesses, with the HVACR roll broken out. Aggregates only; no individual business identified.
