The problem

Why HVAC owners
miss jobs

Fewer missed emergency leads. More booked diagnostics. You stay on the tools.

  • Emergency calls hit while you’re on a rooftop

    A no-heat call at 7pm goes to voicemail — and the homeowner dials the next HVAC company on Google.

  • Tune-up season floods the phone

    You can’t answer every “when can you come?” while you’re mid-install. Those leads disappear.

  • After-hours = lost installs

    Weekend AC failures and overnight furnace issues are high-intent jobs. Voicemail doesn’t book them.

How it works

Three steps, and your customers
never dial a new number

  1. Step 1

    A call comes in

    Your phone still rings first. If you can’t answer, Front&Center picks up.

  2. Step 2

    The AI handles it

    It qualifies the job, answers common questions, and books the next step when it can.

  3. Step 3

    You get the lead

    You get an alert with a summary. The recording and transcript are in your dashboard, and a text follow-up keeps the job from going cold.

The math

One recovered job
can pay for the month

HVAC jobs can be worth $2,000+. Put in your own numbers.

Questions

HVAC owners ask
before switching it on

  • Can an AI receptionist answer calls for my HVAC business?

    Yes. Front&Center answers when your techs can’t, qualifies the call, and helps book the next service visit. Fewer missed emergency leads. More booked diagnostics. You stay on the tools.

  • What does the AI say when a HVAC customer calls?

    It answers in your business’s name, for example “Hi, thanks for calling Summit Comfort Heating and Cooling, how can I help you?”, then asks what the job is, how urgent it is and where it is, answers questions about your services, and offers open appointment times or takes a message for a callback.

  • How much is one missed HVAC call worth?

    HVAC jobs can be worth $2,000+, depending on the work. If a missed call goes to a competitor, that’s the job you lose. Recovering a single job like that in a month would cover the Growth plan at $300 CAD.

  • How much does an AI receptionist cost for a HVAC company?

    Front&Center starts at $79 CAD/month on the Solo plan. Growth, at $300 CAD/month, adds Jobber booking, warm transfers and Google review requests. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

  • Do I keep my HVAC business phone number?

    Yes. Your phone still rings first. Only the calls you don’t answer are forwarded to Front&Center through your carrier’s no-answer forwarding, so customers keep dialing the number they already know.
