HVAC technicians receive frequent calls and texts from homeowners about insufficient cooling, typically due to undersized units during extreme heat, wasting time and causing frustration.

Existing communication tools like phone and text are inefficient for handling common, repetitive inquiries about system performance during heat waves. No system provides proactive education or automation to reduce these calls.
