Portland HVAC Companies Are Missing the Heat Wave Rush
An AI system that answers every Portland HVAC call, books the job, and follows up on estimates without extra office staff.
Homes in Sellwood and the Hillsboro suburbs weren't built with serious AC in mind, and when a real heat wave rolls through, or wildfire smoke drives a rush on filtration upgrades, the phone rings in waves that a small office can't absorb. Build My Pulse handles that surge for you as a full done-for-you build, or if you'd prefer to run things yourself, Pulse is also offered self-serve at $500 a month.
We also deploy Pulse for hvac operators across Oregon, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
What slows HVAC businesses down in Portland
Heat wave calls spike suddenly and overwhelm the office phone, sending overflow to voicemail.
Wildfire smoke season drives filtration and air quality inquiries that get buried under emergency AC repair calls.
Estimates for new AC installs in homes without existing ductwork stall because nobody circles back.
