Built around HVAC season swings
No-cool emergencies, July

Furnace out at midnight in February? Chappie captures the call, asks the system type, and pings your on-call tech immediately.
Captures the equipment specifics
Brand, age, central vs. mini-split, last service date — the questions are tuned for HVAC, not generic intake.
No call-volume cap
Heat wave hits and 200 calls land at once? Every single one gets the same 30-second SMS. No busy signal, no voicemail.
Frequently asked questions
What is an answering service for HVAC contractors?+
An HVAC answering service handles inbound calls when your techs are on a roof, in an attic, or off-shift — so no-AC and no-heat emergencies don't go to a competitor. Chappie.bot does it via SMS fast, 24/7/365.
How much does an HVAC answering service cost?+
Live human services charge $300–$1,500 per month plus per-minute fees. Chappie.bot is $2.99 per captured lead — no monthly fee, no minutes, no contract. One emergency furnace job pays for hundreds of leads.
Will Chappie capture HVAC-specific job details?+
Yes. The qualifying questions are tuned for HVAC: system type (central, mini-split, package), age, brand, no-cool vs no-heat, and timing. You get the full thread on your phone within 90 seconds.
Does it work with Google LSA for HVAC?+
Yes. Set your Chappie number as the forwarding number on Google Local Services Ads, Angi, and Yelp so every paid lead gets the SMS treatment if you can't pick up.
What about peak season overflow (heat waves, cold snaps)?+
Chappie has no call-volume cap. During a heat wave when 200 calls hit at once, every one gets the same 30-second SMS — no busy signal, no voicemail.
How fast can my HVAC business get set up?+
About 5 minutes. Get a Chappie number, point your existing line at it, and you're capturing missed calls today.
