Four Automations That Pay for Themselves
02
Smart Dispatching & Scheduling
Automatically assign the right technician based on skill set, location, and availability. Reduce drive time and fit more jobs into every day.
03
Estimate Follow-Up Engine
Most plumbing and HVAC estimates go cold because nobody follows up. Our AI sends timed reminders via text and email until the customer decides.
04
Review & Reputation Builder
After every completed job, trigger an automated review request. Filter unhappy customers to a private feedback form and route happy ones to Google.
The Honest Pitch
No Fake Logos. No Inflated Numbers.
We are a small engineering studio onboarding our first cohort of home service companies — so instead of renting credibility, here is exactly what you get.
You talk to the engineer
No account managers or relay chains. The person who scopes your automation is the same senior engineer who builds it, deploys it, and answers your messages.
Founding-client pricing
Early home service companies get reduced rates and priority support in exchange for honest feedback — and, if you are happy, a case study we can publish with real numbers.
Plans from ₹21,000/mo (~$249)
Guaranteed or refunded
If the automations do not deliver measurable results within 60 days, you get a full refund and keep everything we built. The risk is ours, not yours.
Simple Process
Live in 48 Hours — Here's How
1
What does the audit look like?
We start by mapping every step of your current customer journey: where leads come from, how they get answered, who sends the estimate, and what happens after. This audit is free and usually takes one 30-minute call. By the end, you will have a clear picture of exactly where jobs are falling through the cracks.
2
How do you build the automations?
Once we know where the gaps are, our team designs custom workflows that plug directly into the tools you already use, whether that is ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or even just Google Calendar and a spreadsheet. We handle all the setup, testing, and integration. You do not need to learn new software or change how your techs work in the field.
3
What happens after launch?
After your automations go live, we monitor performance for the first 30 days and fine-tune response messages, timing, and routing rules based on real data. You get a dashboard that shows exactly how many leads came in, how many were booked, and how much revenue the system influenced. We stay on as your automation partner with ongoing support and optimization.
Our “It Pays for Itself” Guarantee
If our automation doesn't save you at least 10 hours/week or generate enough new leads to cover your investment within 60 days, we'll refund every penny and let you keep the automations. Zero risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can plumbers automate lead follow-up without losing the personal touch?
AI follow-up messages are written in your brand voice and personalized with the customer's name, service request, and address. Customers feel like they are talking to your office staff, not a robot. The system hands off to a real person whenever the conversation requires human judgment, such as complex diagnostics or negotiation on large jobs.
What is the best way for HVAC companies to handle after-hours calls?
An AI answering assistant can pick up every after-hours call, collect the caller's information and urgency level, and either book a next-day appointment or escalate true emergencies to your on-call tech. This replaces expensive answering services and ensures you never lose a lead that calls at 9 PM.
Can AI dispatching really work for a small plumbing company with only a few techs?
Absolutely. AI dispatching is not just for large operations. Even a two-truck shop benefits from automated scheduling that considers technician location, drive time, and job type. The system prevents double-bookings and optimizes routes so your techs spend more time on the job site and less time on the road.
How do home service companies get more Google reviews automatically?
After a job is marked complete, the system waits a configurable period and then sends a friendly text asking the customer to rate their experience. If the rating is four or five stars, they are directed to your Google Business profile. If it is lower, they are routed to a private feedback form so you can resolve the issue before it becomes a public review.
How much does AI automation cost for a plumbing or HVAC business?
Most home services automation projects fall between $1,500 and $4,000 per month depending on the number of automations and call volume. That is typically less than the cost of one part-time office employee and delivers significantly more consistent results. We also offer a pay-for-performance model for qualified businesses.
Will AI automation work with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?
Yes. KraftAI integrates with all major home services platforms including ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and FieldEdge. We use their APIs to pull job data, update statuses, and trigger automations without requiring you to switch software or manually enter information twice.
Expert Answers
What Plumbers & HVAC Contractors Ask About AI
Direct answers to the questions home service professionals search for every day — backed by industry data.
How much revenue do plumbing companies lose from missed phone calls?
The average plumbing or HVAC contracting business loses between $45,000 and $125,000 per year to unanswered phone calls, according to a study of 1,200+ contractors. During peak HVAC season, 35% of calls go unanswered because crews are on job sites. 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back — they call the next contractor on Google instead. AI-powered answering systems like KraftAI answer every call within 2 rings, 24/7, qualifying leads and booking appointments automatically.

What is the best way for HVAC companies to handle after-hours emergency calls?
62% of plumbing and HVAC calls come in after business hours, on evenings, and weekends. Traditional answering services take 15-30 minutes to relay messages — by then the customer has called someone else. The most effective approach is an AI answering agent that triages by urgency: true emergencies (burst pipe, no heat) get dispatched to your on-call tech within 60 seconds, while non-urgent calls get booked into the next available slot. The homeowner gets an instant confirmation text either way.

How can a small plumbing company compete with larger contractors on response time?
Research shows that responding to a lead within 5 minutes makes you 100x more likely to book the job compared to waiting 30 minutes. Most contractors take 4+ hours to respond to web form inquiries. With AI automation, even a one-truck plumbing operation can respond to every call, text, and web inquiry in under 30 seconds — matching or beating the response speed of large franchises with dedicated call centers. 78% of customers hire the first contractor who responds, so speed is the great equalizer.
