How Mike's HVAC Doubled Booked Jobs Without Hiring a Dispatcher

A 12-person heating and cooling company in Austin was losing jobs to competitors who answered faster. After installing RoundOne's AI chatbot, they're capturing leads at 2 AM and booking same-day emergency calls automatically.

Calls going to voicemail. Jobs going to competitors.

Mike's HVAC was a well-reviewed business with a loyal customer base — but they were bleeding leads every weekend and evening. When an AC breaks in Texas summer heat, customers call whoever answers first.

The owner estimated he was losing 15–20 jobs per week to competitors — not because of price or quality, but simply because someone else answered the phone first. With a small team stretched across service calls, hiring a full-time dispatcher wasn't financially viable.

An AI chatbot that acts like a dispatcher — 24/7.

RoundOne deployed a custom AI chatbot directly on Mike's HVAC website. It handles the full qualification flow: service type → urgency → zip code → contact info → appointment slot. Emergency calls get same-day slots automatically.

24/7 Lead Capture

The chatbot is live at 2 AM on a Sunday. Every visitor gets an instant response — no missed opportunities.

Urgency Detection

The AI identifies emergency vs. routine requests and routes accordingly — same-day slots for urgent cases, scheduled slots otherwise.

Instant Qualification

Service type, zip code, and urgency are collected conversationally. Dispatchers get pre-qualified leads, not raw inquiries.

Auto Booking

Customers pick a time slot without calling. Confirmation emails are sent automatically with all appointment details.

"I used to wake up to 12 missed calls every Monday morning. Now I wake up to 12 booked appointments."
