No cool or no heat
Establish the immediate comfort issue, whether the system is running, and when the problem began.
HVAC
Route no-cool and no-heat calls with the season in mind.
Understand the comfort problem, service intent, system context, location, and timing before the call reaches dispatch or a qualified buyer.
Live call signal
“The air is running, but the house is still getting warmer.”
Context captured
Rules evaluated
Handoff prepared
Qualification logic
Capture the comfort problem without over-diagnosing it.
HVAC qualification should help the receiving team understand urgency and intent while leaving technical diagnosis to trained professionals.
Repair, replace, or maintain
Separate an active breakdown from planned replacement interest or routine maintenance.
System context
Capture the system type or relevant observations when the caller knows them, without requiring technical expertise.
Location and timing
Confirm market, property context, and desired response timing for coverage and availability checks.
Decision record
Dispatch receives the situation, not just a phone number.
Carry the comfort issue, intent, timing, and routing result into the handoff so the next conversation starts further ahead.

Questions
What operators usually ask.
Can the flow distinguish repair from replacement interest?+
Yes. It can clarify whether the caller has an active failure, is considering replacement, or is looking for maintenance.
Does TargetDial diagnose HVAC equipment?+
No. The role is to collect observable context and intent for qualification and routing, not replace professional diagnosis.
Can after-hours calls follow a different path?+
Availability and escalation rules can determine whether a qualified call transfers live or moves to the defined callback process.
