Built for the seasons, the maintenance plans, and the installs.

From the August heat wave to the spring tune-up rush, Reactor is configured around how HVAC companies actually operate — the seasonal swings, the equipment lifecycles, the long sales cycles on change-outs.

Configured around how HVAC actually works.

Reactor for HVAC isn't a CRM with a "trades template" bolted on. It's a full operational system shaped around the realities of an HVAC business — the seasonal surges, the maintenance memberships that should compound, the install quotes that need to land.

• Seasonal demand orchestration — capacity-aware booking, overflow routing, and after-hours AI handling for peak weeks.
• Maintenance plan engine with automated tune-up scheduling, renewal workflows, and member-only communication channels.
• Install quote workflow tuned to HVAC — financing options, good-better-best presentation, automated multi-touch follow-up.
• Equipment history per address, surfaced to the technician on arrival — model, age, warranty, last service, prior recommendations.
• Dispatch coordination across service and install crews, with location-aware customer notifications and arrival windows.
• Reactivation campaigns timed to equipment age and seasonal triggers — change-outs surfaced before the unit fails in August.

From the heat-wave Monday to the slow-season tune-up.

What it actually looks like to run an HVAC week on Reactor — peak demand captured, maintenance plans compounding, install pipeline on rails.

1. 01

   Heat-wave Monday, phones on fire

   First 95° day of the year. Calls triple by 9 AM. Reactor captures every inquiry across phone, web form, and chat — no one rolls to voicemail, and the queue is visible to dispatch in real time.

2. 02

   Triage by urgency and ticket size

   No-cool in a house with a toddler outranks a thermostat swap. Reactor tags each call by urgency, system age, and likely ticket size, then sequences the day so the highest-revenue jobs land on the right techs.

3. 03

   Diagnostic to recommendation

   Tech arrives with full system history — install date, refrigerant type, prior repairs. Diagnosis flows into a good/better/best proposal with financing, replacement vs. repair math, and warranty coverage already in line.

4. 04

   Maintenance plan offered every visit

   Reactor's maintenance-plan engine recommends the right tier based on equipment age and home size. Enrollments are billed monthly or annually, and tune-up visits are auto-scheduled into the slow shoulder seasons.

5. 05

   Install jobs sequenced cleanly

   Replacements move into a project pipeline with permit tracking, equipment ETA, install crew assignment, and customer status updates — so the office stops fielding 'when's my install' calls all week.

6. 06

   Slow season turns into recall season

   Spring tune-ups, fall heating checks, and IAQ add-ons get worked through automated recall — the maintenance base becomes a recession-resistant revenue floor instead of a spreadsheet nobody touches.

The questions HVAC operators ask first.

Does this replace our dispatch and invoicing software?

Usually no. Reactor runs the customer-facing operational layer — capture, sales, maintenance plans, follow-up, reactivation — and integrates with the FSM you use for dispatch and invoicing. Techs keep working the way they already do.

Can it handle the seasonal whiplash?

That's exactly what it's built for. Inbound capacity scales automatically, recall and IAQ campaigns fill shoulder seasons, and the maintenance base creates predictable revenue underneath the demand spikes.

What about commercial work?

Reactor Forge and Core support a separate commercial pipeline alongside residential — bid tracking, change orders, longer payment terms, and account-based reporting. Most HVAC companies grow into the dual model over time.

How long until we see the maintenance plan numbers move?

Attach rate usually moves in the first 60 days because the tech-side workflow changes immediately. Compounding revenue from the renewal book takes 12–18 months to fully show up.
