A 24/7 answering service for HVAC companies that books the job, not just the message
ClientCue is an AI receptionist built for heating and cooling companies. It picks up your existing number on the first ring, says it's your AI assistant, asks whether it's a heat, cooling, or maintenance call, gets the address and how urgent it is, and books the visit onto your calendar — at 6 am after the first freeze or 9 pm in a July heat wave. Anyone it misses gets a text back in seconds.
It doesn't diagnose a compressor or quote a replacement. It makes sure the homeowner with no heat has a time on your calendar before they dial the next name on Google. Set up and tuned by our team in Freehold, NJ, not by you between service calls.

The first heat wave
Every AC that limped through spring quits the same afternoon. No-cool calls stack up while every tech is already on a roof, and the ones that hit voicemail are booked by whoever picked up.
The first freeze
No-heat calls come in before 7 am from people who won't wait until the office opens. A furnace that won't kick on with kids in the house is a today job — or somebody else's today job.
Shore-rental changeover weekends
From Manasquan to Point Pleasant, Saturday changeovers are when a rental owner discovers the AC quit. The call is urgent, it's a weekend, and the next tenant arrives at 3.
Maintenance season, when you're already full
Tune-up season fills the calendar, which is exactly when the emergency call gets missed — the one worth ten tune-ups.
Serving HVAC companies across the Jersey Shore and businesses across New Jersey, including Freehold, Neptune, Asbury Park, Ocean Township, Wall, Toms River, Brick, Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Middletown, Red Bank.

Get my free Growth CheckHow it handles an HVAC call
The same four questions your best office person asks, in the same order, every time — including at 6 am.
Heat, cooling, or maintenance?
It sorts the call first, so a no-heat in January and a tune-up request never get the same urgency.
What's it doing, and since when?
Not cooling, not turning on, strange noise, water at the unit — enough for your tech to walk in knowing what to look for.
Where, and how soon?
Confirms the address and offers the first real opening on your calendar, flagged as urgent when it should be.
Books it and texts the confirmation
The appointment lands on your calendar; the homeowner gets a text with the window. After the job, it asks for the review.
When it can't handle the call: It's scoped to answering, qualifying, and booking. Anything outside that — a question it can't answer, a caller who wants a person, or anything that sounds like a safety emergency — is flagged to your team right away, and the script for those calls is written with you at setup.
Already on Jobber or Housecall Pro? Keep it.
ClientCue answers the phone and books the appointment; your scheduling software keeps running the job, the quote, and the invoice. If you're on Jobber, we also connect to its data for the morning dashboard.
Straight answers for HVAC companies
Does it know the difference between a no-cool emergency and a maintenance call?
Yes — that's the first thing it sorts. Heat, cooling, or maintenance, then what the system is doing and how long. A no-heat call in January gets offered the first opening and flagged urgent; a tune-up request gets the next available slot.
Can it quote after-hours or emergency pricing?
No, and it won't guess. It books the visit and tells the caller a technician will confirm pricing. You quote; it schedules. If you want it to state a flat diagnostic fee, that's set with you at setup.
Does it dispatch my techs?
No. It books onto your calendar in the windows you've set. Dispatching stays with you or your scheduling software.
What happens in a heat wave when forty calls come in?
Every one gets answered — there's no conversation cap on ClientCue — and booked into whatever openings exist. When the calendar is full, it takes the details, texts the caller, and flags your team so you decide who gets squeezed in.
What does it do with maintenance-agreement customers?
It answers them like anyone else and books them. Recognizing agreement customers by name or number depends on what your calendar and CRM expose; ask us during your free Growth Check and we'll tell you exactly what's possible with your setup.
How fast is setup, and does my number change?
Most companies are live within a week of the kickoff call, and your number stays exactly as it is — ClientCue sits behind the line you already print on the truck.
