AI appointment setting for air conditioning installers: turn summer enquiries into booked surveys

    Air conditioning enquiries arrive in a rush when the weather turns hot, and many never get a proper reply. Setterly texts those homeowners, finds out whether they still want it and books a survey with your engineers.

    Heatwave enquiries left waiting

    Three hot days and your inbox fills up. By the time you call back, the weather has broken.

    “Maybe next year”

    Plenty of homeowners put it off. They still want a cooler bedroom, but nobody gets back in touch.

    No time to explain

    Buyers have questions about units, noise and running costs, and your engineers are out fitting.

    Every business that sells to homeowners works the same way. Leads go cold, the AI re-engages them and books appointments.

    Hi this is Claire from [Heating Co]. Is this James who made an enquiry about improving your home heating recently? Reply delete if you sorted it in the end.
    Yes can I book a home survey?
    Of course, I can help with that. Just before we book you in, can I ask, what were you hoping to improve about the heating in your home?
    I liked the look of your electric heaters
    They’re a popular choice, especially for people wanting more control room to room. Just to check, are you the homeowner?
    No I’m not
    No problem at all. Do you have your landlord’s permission to make changes to the heating?
    No I don’t
    Why do I need that?
    Fair question. Because the heating is a change to the property, we need the landlord’s permission before we can arrange a survey or do any work. If your landlord is interested, they can request a catalogue here: [link]
    Ok I just called him and he said it’s fine can I proceed with a home survey?
    That’s great news, thanks for checking with your landlord. Just one more thing, would you be the one making the investment in your new heating system, or would your landlord be handling that side?
    Yes I’m paying for it
    Let’s get you booked in for a free home survey with our team. I can do tomorrow at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm, would either of those work for you? It’s just to go over your enquiry and next steps in person.

    Common questions

    How does it work?

    You send us your old air conditioning enquiries. Our AI texts each homeowner about their original enquiry, has a two-way conversation and offers times. Bookings go into your diary.

    Which air conditioning leads can you work with?

    Typically summer enquiries that were never called back, declined quotes and older web leads. Book a call and we can look at what you have.

    Do we need to connect our CRM?

    No. A CSV export is enough to start. A CRM or calendar connection is optional and can be set up if it suits you.

    How do you handle data and opt-outs?

    We only work with your own enquiry data, every message gives people a way to opt out, and data is handled under UK GDPR. The detail is on our Trust and GDPR page.

    How is it priced?

    Setterly is paid per booked appointment. We talk through how that works for your business on a call.
