HVAC Operations Software & AI

HVAC Operations Software — your ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro data already shows the margin drift, the callback patterns, and the peak-season compression. The question is whether anyone’s reading it.

Spaid embeds with HVAC operators running ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro, uses AI to analyze 6–12 months of dispatch outcomes, job margins, callback patterns, and CSR booking data, and deploys HVAC-specific operational intelligence that your FSM reports have never shown you.

Where the Margin Actually Goes

Where the margin actually goes.

HVAC margin loss isn’t one problem. It’s three or four compounding failures across dispatch, execution, and seasonal timing. Most HVAC operators can name the symptoms. Almost none have seen the dollar amount tied to each one — because the data sitting in their FSM has never been read that way.

The HVAC Margin Problem Is In Your FSM — Not In Your P&L

Your best HVAC tech closes diagnostic calls at 38% GM. Your average runs 29%. The 9-point spread is visible in ServiceTitan or HCP job data — sorted by tech, by job type, by season. But the standard reports don’t surface it that way. By the time the P&L shows the margin compression, the season is half over.

8–14 point GM spread between top and bottom HVAC techs — recoverable $8K–$16K per tech per year

HVAC Callback Patterns Are Predictable — Nobody Has Run the Data

Wrong part on a condenser replacement. Incomplete diagnosis on a no-cooling call. Wrong tech assigned to a commercial refrigeration job. Each of these callback root causes exists in your FSM job data — cross-referenced with tech, job type, part combination, and season. A 50-tech HVAC shop burning $18K/month on callbacks has a solvable data problem.

40% of HVAC callbacks involve a missing part or incomplete diagnosis — preventable

Peak Season Margin Compression Is a Dispatch and Execution Problem

When call volume spikes in July and August, HVAC operators send whoever’s available — not whoever’s right for the job. Callback rates climb. Pricing consistency drops. Parts shortages hit. The data to prevent this builds up in the FSM all winter. Almost nobody analyzes it before peak season starts.

Why Existing Solutions Fall Short

Generic field service software vs. HVAC operations intelligence.

Generic field service software tracks your HVAC jobs. HVAC operations intelligence tells you why your margins are where they are — and what to do about it before next season.

What you’ve tried before

ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro standard reports

Shows revenue totals and job counts. Doesn’t surface GM variance by tech, callback rate by job type, or dispatch outcome patterns by season.

HVAC business coaching programs

Addresses general business principles. Not built from your specific data, your job types, your equipment mix, your market.

Additional FSM modules or add-ons

Adds features inside the existing system. Doesn’t cross-reference your FSM data with call recordings or analyze 12 months of dispatch outcomes.

Hiring a data analyst or ops manager

Adds headcount. Still requires a system to tell them what to look for, how to look for it, and what to do when they find it.

VS
What HVAC operations software + AI looks like

AI reads 6–12 months of your ServiceTitan or HCP data — dispatch, invoices, callbacks, pricebook

Pulls every job record, technician performance metric, and part combination from your existing FSM. No new platform. No migration.

HVAC-specific AI analysis: margin by tech, callback root cause by job type, dispatch outcome patterns

Built from your actual HVAC job history — cooling, heating, commercial, residential. Not generic field service benchmarks.

Pre-job AI briefing surfaces HVAC-specific risk before the truck rolls

Recommended parts list for the job type, callback risk flag, prior job history at the address, customer LTV. Delivered in the existing FSM job card.

Daily AI drift detection across GM, callback rate, and booking rate — before peak season compounds the problem

Monitors every tech’s performance against baseline daily. Flags the patterns that predict a bad season before the season starts.

Engineer + Software

How the engineer and AI find the margin.

Four tools. One engineer on-site. The first 30 days are diagnostic — no changes, just numbers.

HVAC FSM Connector

6–12 months of your ServiceTitan or HCP data — in 72 hours

AI connects to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, or Jobber via API and reads 6–12 months of HVAC job records — cooling, heating, commercial, residential, maintenance. Callback patterns by tech and job type. GM by equipment category. Dispatch outcomes by season. The full HVAC operational picture from your existing FSM data.

HVAC Operational Knowledge Graph

Your top HVAC techs’ decision logic — as the standard for every job

During the first 30 days, the Spaid engineer rides with your highest-margin HVAC techs — documents how they diagnose a no-cooling call, what they look for on a commercial refrigeration job, what they bring on a condenser replacement. Converts that into a repeatable briefing for every tech on every high-callback job type. Specific to your equipment mix, your market, your service area.

AI Pre-Job Briefing

HVAC job-specific risk and parts checklist before the truck leaves

AI surfaces recommended parts list for the specific job type and equipment combination, callback risk flag from historical data, and prior job history at the address — delivered in the existing FSM job card before the tech departs. Not generic checklists. Built from your HVAC callback and parts data. Reduces wrong-part returns by 40%.

HVAC Drift Detection Engine

Daily AI monitoring of every HVAC tech’s margin and callback rate

AI monitors GM per job, callback rate, and quote variance for every HVAC tech daily — by job type, by equipment category, by season. Flags when a tech is drifting on commercial pricing, when a job type is trending high on callbacks, when dispatch patterns are creating avoidable seasonal margin compression. 3–4 week lead time before monthly P&L review.
