AI front office for HVAC & plumbing

Missed calls become booked jobs.Automatically.

Frontbench is a 24/7 AI front desk built for HVAC and plumbing contractors. It answers every inbound call, identifies the service, books the job, and escalates emergencies — and when a call rings out, SMS reopens the conversation in seconds. Recovered revenue is reported per call and per lead.

    My AC just stopped. It's 95 in here and I've got a baby in the house.

    Got it — emergency AC outage with a small child. I'll flag this as priority. Can I get the address on file?

How it works

Four steps. One closed loop.

The Frontbench loop answers, qualifies, books, and recovers — in the same call when possible, in SMS when not. Every step reports revenue back to a single dashboard.

  1. 01

    Answer every call

    A 24/7 AI receptionist picks up ring-outs, after-hours calls, overflow — every line, never a voicemail black hole.

  2. 02

    Identify & qualify

    Service type, urgency, address, the right tech. Captures the details your CSR would — in under thirty seconds.

  3. 03

    Book or escalate

    Sends confirmed jobs straight into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber. Emergencies hand off to on-call per your rules.

  4. 04

    Recover the rest

    If a call slips, SMS reopens it in seconds. Stale estimates get follow-up. Dormant customer files get reactivation nudges.

The modules

Four engines. Each reports its own recovered revenue.

Turn on what you need, leave the rest off. Every module is priced in, and every module exports the dollars it recovered — so owners see exactly how the system pays for itself.

01

Inbound call handling

Replaces voicemail with a fully-conversational AI that books the job while the caller is still on the line.

  • Carrier-grade routing — works with your existing number
  • Voicemail detection, transfer-to-human on request
  • Per-trade prompts (HVAC, plumbing, drain, electrical)
02

SMS re-engagement

Every missed call triggers an automated SMS sequence that qualifies, answers approved questions, and pushes to booking.

  • Re-opens the conversation within 90 seconds of a ring-out
  • Approve the answers once, reuse across every lead
  • Stops the moment a human takes over the call
03

Estimate follow-up

Status-aware sequences tail themselves to the channel and quote age, so old estimates stop dying in inboxes.

  • Tailored cadence per quote status, segment, channel
  • Approved-question answering — no off-script replies
  • Hands off to a human the moment the lead replies live
04

Dormant-customer reactivation

Stale customer files get flagged against equipment age and service history — outreach hits the most likely-to-rebook first.

  • Equipment-age + service-history scoring
  • Seasonal nudges (tune-ups, flushes, pre-winter checks)
  • Suppression list honors unsubscribes and recent service

What it returns

Owners see revenue recovered
per call and per lead.

Each module reports its own dollars. No estimates, no hand-calculated ROAS — the dashboard ties every recovered booking back to the call or SMS it came from.
