HVAC & Home Services AI. Every call answered. Every job booked.
An autonomous agent for HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other home-service businesses. It answers every call and message on the first ring, sends real emergencies to your on-call tech, books service calls and maintenance visits straight into your schedule, and follows up on every open estimate — while your techs stay on the job. It runs on TIOS, the same platform behind Tribe's live answering service.
AvailableWhat is an HVAC AI agent?
An HVAC AI agent is software that answers a home-service company's calls, texts and web chats on the first ring, sorts real emergencies from routine requests, alerts the on-call technician and books jobs straight into the schedule. Tribe's HVAC & Home Services AI does this 24/7 for HVAC, plumbing and electrical businesses, works with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber, and hands callers to a person whenever they need one.

The work, done.
Real situations it handles.
No heat at 2 a.m.
A homeowner calls with no heat in January. The agent confirms the address and symptoms, recognises an emergency under your rules and alerts your on-call tech — then tells the caller what happens next.
A gas smell
The script puts safety first: leave the building, then call the gas utility or 911. Only after that does the agent log the details and alert your team.
The first heat wave
Every line is ringing. The agent answers the overflow, books routine AC service into open slots and queues callbacks by priority, so no one gets voicemail.
Maintenance-plan visits
Members due for a spring or fall tune-up get a reminder and a way to book; the visit lands straight in your schedule.
Open estimates
Customers who received an estimate get timely follow-up by text or call. Anyone ready to go ahead is booked or passed to your comfort advisor.
New-customer leads
Phone and web leads are captured with address, equipment and urgency while your techs are on jobs — nothing waits in a voicemail box.
A burst pipe at 11 p.m., handled.
Answered
The agent picks up on the first ring and says it is a virtual assistant for your company.
Triaged
It asks what is happening, where, and whether water is still running — and, if your script includes it, how to shut off the main valve.
Dispatched
A burst pipe is on your emergency list, so it alerts your on-call plumber by call and text and works down your backup list if nobody responds.
Caller updated
The customer hears what happens next and receives a text confirmation.
Logged
The job, notes and call summary are in ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber before your office opens.
Example for illustration — not a real customer conversation.
Plugs into your stack. Keeps humans in control.
Integrates with
ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber, plus your phone system, calendar and CRM.
What stays human
Pricing and quotes, diagnoses, warranty decisions and upset customers. The agent collects the details and books the visit; your team — or a trained Tribe agent — takes over whenever a caller needs a person.
Why it matters now.
U.S. employment of HVAC and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 11% from 2025 to 2035 — much faster than the average for all occupations.
About 42,000 openings for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters are projected each year in the U.S., on average, from 2025 to 2035.

Human. AI. Or both — your call.
Run it as an AI agent, keep it fully human, or blend the two — you choose the mix, and change it as your confidence grows.
People and AI together — your call. Agents handle the volume, your specialists own the moments that matter. Start where you like, and shift the mix as your confidence grows.
