AI text-back for HVAC contractors

Every missed call is an HVAC job going to the next shop.

When your techs are on a job, the phone still rings. Missed-Call Rescue texts the caller back in 60 seconds, asks what's wrong, and sends you a short summary. So the job stays with you.

After payment: onboarding email within 24h · live in 14 days · setup fee refunded if we miss the guarantee.

✓ Done for you.  ✓ Set up in your own accounts.  ✓ Month-to-month.

Workflow

How it works

Three steps, fully automatic, from a ringing phone to a warm lead.

01

A call is missed

Your tech is on a roof, or it's 9 PM. The call rings out.
02

Text back in 60 seconds

The caller gets a text: "Sorry we missed you. What's going on with your system?" A short AI chat asks the problem (no heat, no cool, maintenance), their ZIP, and the best time.
03

You get a summary

A clear summary lands by text and email. Call back a warm lead, not a cold voicemail.

Our guarantee

Our guarantee

If the system isn't live in 14 days, or doesn't rescue at least 5 missed calls or leads in the first 30 days, we refund your setup fee in full. You keep the workflows.

"Rescued" means the lead got a reply. We can't promise booked jobs. That part is still up to you.

FAQ

Questions

No. It works next to what you use now. We connect a phone number in your own account so missed calls can trigger a text.

How long does setup take?

Up to 14 days. If it isn't live by then, you get your setup fee back.

What does it cost to run?

$297/month for us, plus texting and AI usage at cost, usually about $15–$45/month, paid to those providers.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month-to-month. If you stop, you keep the workflows built in your accounts.

What about urgent calls, like no heat in winter?

The AI can flag urgent problems so the summary tells you to call back first.

Who runs this?

Missed-Call Rescue is a done-for-you service by Kitbox, run by Vish U Unity Pvt Ltd in Bangalore, India. We're new to HVAC, which is why we offer a pilot price and a refund guarantee.
