Overview
What HVAC Inbound Calls is
HVAC Inbound Calls are consumers who see an offer and dial in themselves, generated by Altarious Global performance campaigns and delivered to your business in real time. Connect homeowners needing heating and cooling repair, replacement or installation with licensed HVAC contractors in their service area.
When a home reaches ninety degrees inside, the homeowner is going to call, and they are going to book with the first contractor who answers professionally and offers a same-day visit. Inbound Call programs place local HVAC offers in front of homeowners searching for repair or replacement and route the call directly to the contractor's CSR team. Repair calls convert immediately into service visits, and replacement inquiries allow the CSR to schedule a comfort advisor for an in-home estimate. Volume can be increased during heat waves and cold snaps and moderated in shoulder seasons.
This product is suited to home services businesses with a team ready to answer during defined hours, a clear view of the consumer they want, and the capacity to convert a live conversation. The acquisition objective is simple: put your team in front of hvac consumers at the moment they are deciding.
Target consumer
Homeowners in single-family homes with central heating and cooling systems, particularly those with equipment more than ten years old. The highest-value segments are homeowners facing a system replacement, households seeking financing for a new installation, and owners in extreme-climate regions where a failed system creates immediate urgency.
Consumer intent
Typical intent signals include: searching for ac repair, furnace repair or hvac company near me; air conditioner or furnace has stopped working or is not maintaining temperature; system is more than ten to fifteen years old and repairs are becoming frequent; researching new ac unit cost, heat pump installation or hvac financing.
How inbound calls are generated
Calls are generated through call-only and click-to-call performance campaigns targeting searches such as "AC repair near me" and "HVAC companies near me", alongside social and comparison placements. Every source is tracked, so call quality can be traced back to the campaign that produced it.
Qualification approach
Qualification is configured to your appetite. Standard hvac criteria include: property located within the contractor's service area; homeowner or authorised decision maker for the property; type of need identified as repair, replacement, installation or maintenance; single-family or multi-unit property type confirmed; interest in scheduling a service call or in-home estimate; for replacement inquiries, openness to financing or a stated budget range.
Delivery process
Calls are routed to your sales line in real time by state or ZIP, schedule and agent availability, with concurrency limits and daily caps set to your capacity. Call tracking and recording are available for quality control.

Knowledge
Frequently asked
Yes. Campaign messaging and screening can emphasise system replacement, heat pump installation and financing, and repair-only calls can be limited or excluded.
Programs can be scaled up ahead of and during peak heating and cooling seasons and reduced in shoulder months, with daily caps adjusted to your technician capacity.
Homeownership or decision-maker status is confirmed during screening so that contractors are not routed renters who cannot authorise repairs or replacements.
Most programs are scoped in a single call and live within five business days. The work in between is agreeing qualification criteria, confirming geography and testing delivery into your phone system or CRM.
Yes. Daily and hourly caps are set to your capacity and can be changed at any time. Programs can also be paused entirely without losing your campaign history.
Delivery runs only during the hours your team is available to answer, in your time zone, and follows your holiday schedule. Nothing is routed to a desk that is closed.
Every call is tracked to its source with duration and outcome recorded. Calls that fall below the agreed billable duration or fail qualification are reviewed, and there is a defined dispute window.
Yes. Web leads post in real time to your CRM, dialer or lead management platform, and calls can carry the same metadata so a record exists before your agent picks up.
