AI collections agent for commercial HVAC & refrigeration

Get paid by your commercial accounts.

Homeowners pay on the day. Property managers, restaurants and facilities teams pay on 30 days, once they have the PO number, the signed ticket and the right inbox. The AR Agent chases those invoices and fixes what is holding them up.

Real HVAC problems

What we hear from HVAC business owners.

From completed jobs to unpaid invoices, getting paid shouldn’t mean another day’s work.

  • A tradesman in a cap leaning on his vehicle and smiling

    Owner / Operator

    I’m chasing invoices after finishing jobs.

    “I’m already managing technicians, customers and jobs. I don’t have time to keep following up people who haven’t paid.”

  • A manager standing with his arms crossed in a workshop

    Service / Operations Manager

    One missing PO and payment gets stuck.

    “Sometimes the work’s finished, but the invoice gets held up because something doesn’t match or the customer needs more paperwork.”

  • An office administrator working at a laptop

    Admin / Bookkeeper

    Chasing payments is another job on top of everything else.

    “I’m already dealing with scheduling, paperwork and invoices. Then I’m also chasing customers to get paid.”

What customers write back

The reply is where the money gets stuck.

A reminder gets an answer, and the answer needs doing something about. This is what the agent does with the ones commercial HVAC accounts send most.

  • Accounts payable, Coldline Foods

    “We can’t pay this without a PO number.”

    What the agent does

    1. Asks whoever in your office has the PO
    2. Adds it to the invoice in QuickBooks
    3. Sends the corrected invoice back in the same thread
  • Site manager, Harbor Street Market

    “Please send invoices to our AP inbox, not to me.”

    What the agent does

    1. Updates the billing contact in QuickBooks
    2. Re-sends the invoice to the right address
    3. Chases there from now on
  • Facilities, Ridgeway Property Group

    “It’s in this week’s payment run. Friday.”

    What the agent does

    1. Records the promise and the date
    2. Checks the books on Friday
    3. If it hasn’t landed, follows up on Monday, in the same thread
  • Owner, Maple Lane Bistro

    “The call-out was covered by our maintenance contract.”

    What the agent does

    1. Stops chasing that invoice
    2. Asks you: credit the call-out, or keep chasing
    3. Writes the reply you choose, for you to approve

Invented companies. Every email the agent writes waits for your approval unless you switch on Autopilot.

    You step in when needed

    If something needs your decision, the agent asks you. Otherwise, it keeps following up.

Keep the field software you already use.

ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber book the job and take payment on site, then send the invoice to QuickBooks Online. That is where The AR Agent picks up whatever is still owed on account. Nothing to switch, nothing to re-enter.

Want us to chase your unpaid invoices?

The AR Agent does the chasing and brings you in only when a decision is needed. Tell us about your invoices and we will show you how it would work for you.

FAQ

A few things you might want to know.

Will this work with QuickBooks?

Yes. The AR Agent connects to QuickBooks Online or Xero, and to your business email, and works the overdue invoices it finds there.

Do I have to switch from ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber?

No. Keep booking, dispatching and taking payment in your field software. It sends invoices to QuickBooks Online, and The AR Agent chases the ones still unpaid from there.

Do I have to let it email customers automatically?

No. You can review and approve emails before they’re sent, or enable automatic follow-ups when you’re comfortable.

What if a customer disputes an invoice?

The agent flags anything that needs your attention rather than making decisions it shouldn’t.

Is this just another app I have to manage?

No. The idea is to take invoice chasing off your plate, not give you another job.
