  • ●Owner is the receptionist, the dispatcher, AND the sales rep
  • ●Repeat customers get the same intake questions every time
What you get instead

Always on, always growing

Answers every call within 2 rings, 24/7
Tunes for HVAC vocabulary out of the box — heat pump, condenser, refrigerant, R-410A, MERV — so callers feel heard, not handled.
Books the truck on your real calendar
Reads your Google / iCloud / Service Titan / Housecall Pro schedule and only offers slots that actually exist. No double-booking, no gaps.
Routes emergencies to a real human
If a caller says 'no heat' on a 22° morning, the AI escalates to your on-call cell instantly. Routine maintenance gets queued for the morning.
Captures every detail before they hang up
Address, system age, brand, last-service date, warranty info — the AI asks the same questions a smart receptionist would, fills the dispatch sheet automatically.

FAQ

Questions homeowner-facing operators ask

▸Will the AI know HVAC terms or just sound like a generic chatbot?
GAUGE trains every agent on the brand's actual vocabulary — heat pump vs. mini-split, R-410A vs. R-32, MERV ratings, BTU sizing. We pull from your existing intake forms + service-history notes. Callers won't know they're not talking to a real receptionist.
▸What happens if the caller has a real emergency — no heat at midnight?
The agent recognizes urgency keywords (no heat, no AC, gas smell, water leak) and escalates immediately to your on-call cell phone with a 30-second briefing. Callers stay on the line if you want them to, or get a callback within 2 minutes.
▸Does it work with our existing scheduling software?
Yes — Google Calendar, iCloud, Service Titan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, Workiz, FieldRoutes are all supported. The agent only offers slots that exist in your real schedule, and writes back the booking automatically with all caller details.
▸How much does it cost compared to a part-time receptionist?
A part-time receptionist runs $1,800–$2,600/mo with no after-hours coverage. GAUGE is a flat monthly subscription that includes 24/7 answering, dispatch, content, and reporting — typically $497–$997/mo depending on call volume.
▸What if the AI gets something wrong on a call?
Every call is recorded + transcribed + scored against your call-handling rules. You see the flagged ones in your portal each morning. We retrain on your corrections weekly — the agent gets smarter for your specific business, not just HVAC in general.
