Why Residential HVAC Companies Choose Renewal & Retention Calls

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Renewal & Retention Calls run 30-60 days before each renewal date, giving your team time to follow up on anyone who doesn't renew on the first call. The timing is scoped during your free campaign review, and the full campaign is quoted before launch.","question":"When do the renewal calls go out relative to my maintenance agreement renewal dates?"},{"answer":"Yes — campaigns run only against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists, which is exactly what your existing customer base is. We review the list source and consent records before launch, and we'll tell you plainly if part of the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything.","question":"Can you call our existing maintenance plan customers, or only new leads?"},{"answer":"AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, so prior express consent is required and AI disclosure is made on every call. Recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out with keywords like STOP or REVOKE. Opt-outs are logged and honored immediately and carried into your DNC records. Requirements vary by location and contact type, so we recommend obtaining appropriate legal guidance before launch.","question":"How do you handle TCPA and AI disclosure rules on renewal calls to homeowners?"},{"answer":"The process starts with a free campaign review where we define one clear goal, then a list and consent review, script and escalation approval, and launch. Because nothing launches until you approve, the timeline depends largely on how quickly your list and script are finalized — most shops move from review to launch in a matter of days.","question":"How long does it take to get a renewal campaign running for our HVAC shop?"},{"answer":"You buy campaigns that we run for you — no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose. Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute with the rate locked for the campaign. Your staff only touches the outcomes: hot leads transfer live or land in your CRM, and you get a dispositioned list, outcome counts, and follow-up requests routed back to your team.","question":"Why use a managed calling service instead of dialing renewal lists ourselves or hiring temps?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free campaign review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Start with one question: what do you need the call to accomplish?
