St. Louis Summers and Ice Storms Both Break Systems. Your Phone Can't Break Too
Pulse answers every call across St. Louis, no matter the season, and turns it into a booked job.
St. Louis sits at the crossroads of humid subtropical summers and genuine ice storm winters, so HVAC companies here get hit with two distinct surge seasons instead of one. Homeowners in Kirkwood, University City, or South City dealing with a failure during a July heat dome or a January ice storm are calling in a panic and will book with whoever answers first. A missed call during either extreme is a lost customer for the season. Pulse handles that answer, either through the self-serve plan you run yourself or through Build My Pulse, our two-week done-for-you build.
We also deploy Pulse for hvac operators across Missouri, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
What slows HVAC businesses down in St. Louis
Humidity-driven AC failures in July flood the phones at the same time competitors are also swamped, and slow answering loses the job.
Ice storms knock out furnaces and driving conditions at the same time, making phone response even more critical since dispatch is slower.
Quotes for aging systems in older South City and Kirkwood homes go unaddressed once the tech moves on to the next emergency call.
