Half Hitch Systems · HVAC lead response

From a missed inquiry to a clear next step.

Half Hitch helps HVAC teams respond by text, gather useful context and follow up. Your team stays responsible for confirming service, pricing and appointments.

A sample response workflow

The five-step walkthrough and conversation example below use fictional messages to explain the process. They are not a customer transcript or result. The separately labeled demo image is a screenshot of the real product interface.

1. An inquiry reaches your connected number or formA missed call or supported website submission creates the starting point. Your actual phone routing and form connection are checked during setup.
2. A text starts the conversationThe assistant identifies the business and asks for relevant job details. Outgoing messaging is subject to permission, opt-out and timing controls.
3. The reply adds useful contextThe conversation can clarify the service need, location and preferred timing. A request for a person can move the lead to human review.
4. Your team reviews and confirmsThe dashboard makes the thread available for review. A team member can pause automation, respond and confirm the next step.
5. Follow-up has a stopping pointEligible quiet leads can receive follow-up. Opt-outs, pauses and closed outcomes prevent an endless sequence.

Try the actual workflow, one step at a time

Use your own phone to see how a connected inquiry becomes a text conversation. The live demo uses the real lead and messaging pipeline. It is a test experience, not evidence of customer results.

1. Submit an inquiry you controlOpen the demo, enter your name and mobile number, add an HVAC service request and check the SMS permission box. Submitting sends a real text; message and data rates may apply.
2. Reply from your phoneDescribe the service need and location. Check that the questions fit your request and that the assistant identifies the business. Do not enter sensitive customer information.
3. Ask for a personTry asking to speak with the office. Review the human handoff and pause controls with Liam during a guided demo; the public text form does not give access to the customer dashboard.

What to look for

  • Does the first reply make the next action clear?
  • Does the conversation collect useful job context?
  • Does it avoid inventing a price or confirming an unavailable appointment?
  • Can your office see the thread, take over and own the next step in the guided dashboard demo?

Connected phone routing, service coverage, timing rules and quote-system integrations are checked for your business during setup. Your team confirms diagnosis, pricing and appointments.
