Detroit HVAC Companies Are Losing Furnace Jobs to Voicemail
An AI system built for Detroit HVAC contractors that answers every call and books the job before the competitor's phone even rings twice.
Older housing stock in Eastern Market, Ferndale, and Dearborn puts a lot of strain on aging furnaces once a Detroit winter sets in, and when a unit dies on a subzero night, the homeowner is usually calling three companies at once. Whoever answers keeps the job outright, not just the callback. Build My Pulse is the full done-for-you deployment for that scenario; there's also a self-serve version of Pulse at $500 a month for shops that want to run it themselves.
We also deploy Pulse for hvac operators across Michigan, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
The daily friction for Detroit HVAC teams
No-heat emergencies in older homes spike hard every cold snap, more than a single office line can handle.
Crews running back-to-back furnace repairs can't stop to take new calls, so leads go to a competitor.
Replacement quotes for older homes stall without consistent follow-up during the busiest weeks.
What Pulse does
24/7 call and text answering
Subzero no-heat emergencies are answered immediately instead of going to voicemail overnight.
Lead qualification and booking
The AI asks about furnace age and symptoms common in older housing stock, then books directly onto your schedule.
Quote follow-up sequences
Replacement and repair estimates get automatic follow-up so quotes convert during peak season.
Maintenance and tune-up reminders
Fall tune-up reminders go out ahead of Detroit's first cold snap to spread demand before the rush.
Daily performance reports
A daily report of calls answered, jobs booked, and open follow-ups.

An estimated 25 to 35 percent more emergency jobs booked during the coldest weeks of the year.
