Best HVAC Follow-Up Software: What to Look For (and What Most Tools Miss)
A practical checklist for HVAC follow-up software: follow-ups, issue recovery, reminders, and review requests—plus what most tools don’t handle well.
Most “HVAC follow-up software” isn’t follow-up software. It’s messaging, surveys, or review requests bolted onto a CRM. The result: you can send texts, but you can’t run a closed-loop workflow that actually reduces callbacks and prevents bad reviews. The best setup includes three linked capabilities: automated follow-ups (timed by job type), a recovery workflow (issue inbox, assignment, escalation, and confirmation), and smart reminders (seasonal + 30/60/90 filter/membership cadences). This article lays out what to look for, what most tools miss, and a simple way to evaluate options without getting distracted by vanity features. It also shows how VisibleFeedback is structured around the full loop—one-tap feedback, instant alerts, issue tracking, confirmation, and customer-friendly reminders—so the system runs consistently without dispatch babysitting it.
