How AI Helps HVAC Contractors Capture Missed Calls and Compete
HVAC contractors may be missing as many as 30% of their incoming calls—not because they need more leads, but because their teams cannot answer every call during the busiest times of the year.
In Episode 15 of Accelerated HVAC Success, Ben Middleton continues his conversation with Ryan Keenan, Senior Product Specialist at Broccoli AI, about practical ways artificial intelligence can help HVAC companies improve productivity, capture opportunities, and compete more effectively.
They discuss using AI as a personal assistant, protecting sensitive information, evaluating platform agreements, and verifying AI-generated answers. Ben and Ryan also explore how AI can help contractors get discovered, answer overflow calls, schedule appointments, contact maintenance-agreement customers, and provide technicians with faster access to troubleshooting information.
The goal isn’t to replace employees. It’s to give them better tools, increase their value, and help the entire organization accomplish more.

Getting Past the First R-32 Installation with Andrew McMahon
The first R-32 installation may feel intimidating, but completing that first job can make the transition much easier.
In Episode 13 of Accelerated HVAC Success, Ben Middleton visits the Daikin branch in Hamilton, Ontario, to speak with Branch Manager Andrew McMahon.

He explains how knowledgeable employees, local inventory, technical assistance and hands-on training help contractors succeed in the field.
Ben and Andrew also discuss the transition to R-32, the concerns contractors initially experience and why the new refrigerant becomes less intimidating once they complete their first installation.
