Upload the list you own
Past customers, unclosed quotes, stalled estimates — CSV or CRM sync. Every list passes a compliance review before a single message sends.
HVAC lead reactivation
That $10,000 changeout estimate didn’t die. The unit kept aging.
Every season leaves a pile: system-replacement estimates homeowners "wanted to think about," repair customers whose units are limping toward the end, maintenance members who quietly lapsed. You already paid to win every one of those conversations — and the equipment has only gotten older since. A compliant AI SMS campaign re-opens them; industry benchmarks put replies at 5–15% of a dormant list.
Owned beats bought
Shopping for aged HVAC leads? Work your own files first.
Aged-lead marketplaces sell you homeowners who talked to somebody else months ago and got called by everyone who bought the same file. Your own estimate archive is categorically better: they called YOU, your tech stood in their utility closet, nobody else has the list — and the no-cool season that stalled their decision comes back every year. Reactivating your own pile is the cheapest pipeline in HVAC; buying strangers should come after it’s exhausted, not instead.

Industry benchmarks put SMS reactivation at 5–15% of a dormant list replying. Run your own numbers — your list size, your average ticket — through the calculator and see what’s buried there.
How it works
Compliant by construction, hands-off by design
AI re-opens each conversation
A 30–60 day SMS sequence, framed as a follow-up on their prior inquiry — in your business’s name, inside quiet hours, opt-out on every message.
Replies become bookings
Interested homeowners are handled conversationally and booked straight onto your calendar. Every opt-out is honored instantly and permanently.
You watch the revenue land
Bookings, conversations, and recovered revenue show up on your dashboard in real time — with the full consent and opt-out audit trail behind them.
Questions HVAC contractors ask
- How does the campaign actually run?
- You upload your list (CSV, or synced from your CRM). We run a compliance review before anything sends. Then a 30–60 day AI SMS sequence re-opens each conversation naturally — a follow-up on their prior inquiry, never a fake "we did work for you." Replies are handled conversationally, interested homeowners get booked straight onto your calendar, and every opt-out is honored instantly and permanently. You watch bookings and recovered revenue land on the dashboard.
- Is texting old leads even legal?
- Texting your own past customers and prior leads — people with an existing business relationship with you — is the compliant lane, and RRE keeps it that way by construction: carrier registration (A2P 10DLC), quiet hours enforced in the recipient's local time, automatic opt-out honored in any reasonable wording (the FCC's 2025 revocation rule allows ten business days; we suppress on receipt), and a consent audit log. What's not compliant is blasting purchased lists — which is exactly why we don't touch bought data.
- Our old estimates are from last summer. Too stale?
- Older lists respond at the lower end of the range, but HVAC has physics on its side: the system that needed replacing last summer is a year older now, and every heat wave and cold snap argues your case. The message re-opens the conversation as a check-in on their prior estimate — and their July electric bill usually finishes it.
- What does it cost?
- Reactivation is included in every RRE plan — Starter $497/mo, Growth $697/mo, Scale $997/mo — alongside the 24/7 AI answering agent and missed-call text-back. 14-day free trial, no setup fee. One rebooked changeout typically covers a long stretch of subscription; we’ll never promise your results, which is why the trial exists.
