HVAC Review Requests After Service Calls
Last updated
Short answer: Send a review request automatically when the tech marks a job complete, using the tech's name and the work done. Use AI to draft replies and to sort feedback into themes each week. Ask every customer, not just the happy ones.
The problem: Techs close dozens of service calls a week but reviews trickle in because asking depends on whether the tech remembers.

FAQ
Should techs get credit for reviews?
Many shops track it per tech. Just don't pressure customers in person or offer them anything for a review.
Text or email?
Text usually gets more responses for service calls; email works as the reminder.
What about bad reviews?
Call the customer first, fix what you can, then post a calm public reply.
