For hvac companies

HVAC answering service that books the job

Refo is an HVAC answering service that does more than take messages. We answer every call and text 24/7, triage no-heat and no-cool emergencies by your on-call rules, book jobs into your schedule, quote standard work from your price book, follow up on open estimates and maintenance plans, collect payments and request reviews. Customers' AI assistants can book you through Refo too.

Questions

Common questions

How is this different from a regular HVAC answering service?

A regular answering service takes a message. Refo books the job, quotes standard work, follows up on estimates and collects payment, by your rules.

What happens with emergency calls at night?

We follow your on-call rules: no heat, no cool with vulnerable occupants, gas smells and water leaks go straight to your on-call tech. Everything else is booked for the next available slot.

Do you work in ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber?

Yes, where your software gives us access. We confirm the setup in the audit.

Can you handle heat waves and cold snaps?

Yes. Coverage scales with call volume, so peak days don't mean missed calls.

Can customers' AI assistants book with us?

Yes. Assistants can check availability, get a quote for standard work and book through Refo, by your rules.
