A small HVAC company should expect a one-time setup fee of $1,550 and a recurring cost of $24.99 per month. At Mankind AI Technology & Services, setup is split into two payments of $775 — one at signing and one within 30 days — and the monthly fee begins on day 31 after the system goes live, so the first 30 days are free. That package covers call answering, appointment booking, automated estimate follow-up, review collection, and a managed website. Most systems are live in 14 days or less.

Every missed call is a lost job — and HVAC contractors miss a lot of them. When you're in an attic pulling ductwork or on a roof replacing a condenser, you can't answer the phone. Calls go to voicemail, and most callers don't leave one — they call the next company on the list. After-hours and weekend calls are the worst: a homeowner whose AC dies on a Friday night at 9 PM isn't going to wait until Monday morning. Summer volume spikes make it worse — the busiest season is when you're least available to answer. An AI receptionist picks up every call, 24/7, books appointments instantly, and follows up with a text confirmation. No missed revenue, no lost leads.
Day 1: you sign and make the first payment of $775. We schedule a 30-minute onboarding call to gather your business details, service area, hours, and branding. Days 2–10: we build your website, configure the AI receptionist, set up appointment booking, and connect your follow-up and review automations. Days 11–14: we test everything — live calls, booking flow, text sequences — and make adjustments. Day 14: your system goes live. Day 31: the second setup payment of $775 is due, and the $24.99/month recurring fee begins. You own your data from day one.
There is a six-month minimum commitment on the monthly service at $24.99/month. The one-time setup fee of $1,550 is non-refundable and covers the full build-out including your website, AI receptionist, booking system, and all automations. You own your data at all times — if you cancel, we export everything to you. No hidden fees, no upsells during the contract period.
