TendLead / HVAC chatbot

AI chatbot for HVAC websites

The HVAC website chatbot that books service calls while your techs are in attics.

When a furnace quits at 10 PM or an AC dies in July, homeowners search, click and expect an answer. TendLead answers from your own service area, pricing and FAQs, takes the details, and puts the visit on your schedule.

  • Answers from your own HVAC info
  • After-hours lead capture
  • Tune-up and repair booking

The problem

HVAC calls don’t wait for business hours

Heating and cooling problems peak on the coldest nights and the hottest weekends, which is exactly when your office phone goes to voicemail.

🥶

No-heat nights go to voicemail

A homeowner with a cold house won’t leave a message and wait. They call the next company on the list. TendLead replies right away and captures name, phone, ZIP code and the problem.

☎️

Your CSRs answer the same five questions

“Do you service my town?” “What brands do you work on?” “Do you offer maintenance plans?” Put the answers in once and let the chatbot handle them day and night.

🗓️

Tune-up season is a scheduling scramble

Every spring and fall, maintenance requests pile up. Let customers pick an open time themselves instead of trading voicemails.

What it does

Built for heating and cooling companies

Everything below comes standard. You decide what the chatbot knows and when it hands off to your team.

🧠

Answers from your HVAC info

Service area, brands you service, diagnostic fees, maintenance plans, financing info: add it as Q&As or let TendLead read your existing website pages.

🚨

Urgent callback requests

Quick-reply buttons let a homeowner with no heat or no AC request an urgent callback or tap to call your after-hours line.

🧾

Replacement estimate requests

A guided “Get a free quote” flow collects the system type, home details and ZIP so your comfort advisor shows up prepared.

🔔

Instant email alerts

New leads and bookings arrive by email the moment they come in, and can be pushed to your CRM with a webhook.

🌎

English and Spanish

Replies, lead forms and booking screens work in English and Spanish, so more homeowners in your area can book.

📊

See what homeowners ask

Transcripts and an analytics dashboard show which questions come up most, so you can tune your answers and your ads.

Built-in booking

Fill your maintenance calendar without phone tag

Set up each visit type with its own length, then let homeowners book open times right in the chat. You control the hours, the drive-time buffer, and whether bookings confirm automatically or wait for your approval.

  • Separate services for repairs, tune-ups and replacement estimates
  • Buffers between visits to leave room for drive time
  • Days off and blocked dates for holidays and slow seasons
  • Confirmation email with a calendar invite for you and the homeowner
  • Reschedule / cancel link so customers can manage their own visit
  • Reminder 24 hours before to cut down on wasted trips

FAQ

HVAC chatbot questions

Can the chatbot dispatch a technician for emergencies?

No. TendLead doesn’t dispatch techs. For urgent problems it collects the homeowner’s details and offers an urgent callback request plus tap-to-call buttons for your after-hours number, and it emails you the lead right away.

Will it quote repair prices?

Only the prices you give it. If you add your diagnostic fee or tune-up price as a Q&A, it answers with that. If something isn’t in your information, it offers the quote form instead of guessing.

Can homeowners book a tune-up online?

Yes. You create services such as “Seasonal tune-up” with their own length, set your working hours and buffers, and customers pick an open time right inside the chat.

Does it work with my HVAC website?

If your site runs on WordPress, install the TendLead plugin. For any other site, paste one line of embed code. It works alongside your existing pages and phone number.

Do I need an OpenAI account?

No. The default No-API mode answers only from the information you add. You can turn on AI or Hybrid mode later with your own Gemini or OpenAI key.
