From $49/mo. No night surcharge.
A human when it matters
True emergencies ring the on-call phone you set.
An HVAC answering service covers no-heat and no-cool calls around the clock. Elody is an AI receptionist for HVAC businesses. It answers the flood of peak-season calls, books service and tune-ups on your calendar, texts you the dispatch notes, and pages your on-call tech for real outages. Plans start at $49/mo.
When the heat dies, they call whoever picks up
A cold snap or a heat wave doesn't care that your techs are already booked. Callers try two or three companies. The one that answers gets the dispatch.
Bad option 01
You stay glued to the phone
Which means you're not diagnosing the furnace in front of you.
Bad option 02
Voicemail
No-heat at 6 AM does not leave a voicemail. They call the next HVAC company.
Bad option 03
A call center that doesn't know HVAC
They can't tell no-cool from a filter question, and they leave you a list to call back.
What it does on those calls.
Answers no-heat and no-cool
Peak season, nights, weekends. Elody picks up so the call doesn't go to a competitor.
Flags urgent outages
No heat in winter or no cool in a heat wave routes to your on-call tech.
Books service and tune-ups
Maintenance and installs land on your calendar with the details you need.
Texts you the dispatch notes
Address, symptoms, callback number. You see it before you roll.
Coverage that matches how the work actually shows up.
Outages happen before open
Furnaces die at 5 AM. If you open at 8, that's three hours of lost jobs.
Seasonal spikes are the business
You can't staff a full front desk for two months of chaos. Elody covers the spike.
Keep the schedule full
Tune-ups and installs get captured instead of sitting in a voicemail pile.
Why hvac businesses run Elody.
No-heat does not wait until eight
Elody answers at 5 AM, books the visit, and pages you when the house is actually cold.
Outage vs a filter question
You set the urgent words. No cool in a heat wave rings on-call. A spring tune-up lands on the calendar.
Peak season stays on the board
Service and maintenance get booked while they're on the line, not parked for a callback.
Keep the number already on the truck
Forward after hours or when every tech is already out. Same listing.
Set up your hvac answering service in four steps.
Tell Elody about your business
Add your hours, services, service area, and the questions callers actually ask. No scripts to write from scratch.
Set how it should handle a call
Greeting, urgent words, and the on-call phone for real emergencies. Test it before you forward anything.
Connect a number
Keep the number you already have. Forward after hours, when you're on a job, or always-on. Or buy a new Elody number.
Go live
Every call ends with a text and an email. Summary, transcript, and the appointment on your calendar. Urgent ones also page you.
HVAC answering: Elody vs a traditional service.

| A spring tune-up | Same list as the outage | Books the appointment on your calendar |
| Peak season volume | You staff up or you miss calls | Same receptionist through the spike |
| Dispatch notes | A name and a number in the morning | Address, symptoms, and a text when they hang up |
| Night pricing | Often a 24/7 surcharge | From $49/mo, no night premium |

HVAC answering service questions.
Can Elody tell an emergency from a tune-up?
You set the urgent words. No heat, no cool, or a gas smell pages your on-call. A spring tune-up gets booked on your calendar.
Will it book HVAC appointments?
Yes. Elody books the appointment on the call and puts it on your calendar.
Does it know our service area?
It uses the area and hours you enter. Callers outside that area get a clear answer instead of a fake yes.
Can I run it only after hours?
Yes. Forward when you close, or when a call isn't answered. Flip to always-on whenever you want.
Does it speak Spanish?
Yes. It greets in English. If they speak Spanish, Elody continues in Spanish. Notes come back in English.
Will I get a text after the call?
Yes. A text and an email with the transcript and summary. Outages also hit your on-call phone.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $49/mo for 300 minutes. $0.25/min overage, with an optional spend cap. See pricing.
Use it after hours, for overflow, or as your receptionist
