PrepQ answers the Q's,
before customers ask.

Every answer in PrepQ is crafted by licensed trade professionals, so your company delivers expert-level responses automatically, consistently, and at scale.

1

Licensed trade professional authored

Every response is written by NATE-certified HVAC technicians, licensed master electricians, and GAF/Owens Corning certified roofing specialists. No generic AI output.

2

Service-specific answer sets

100+ service categories across HVAC, Electrical, and Roofing — including pre-service checklists, permit guidance, local code context, and post-service care instructions.

3

Instant customer delivery

Customers get answers via text or voice the moment they reach out — not when your phone finally gets answered. Every answer is logged, timestamped, and audit-ready.

"We used to have our office manager fielding the same questions on repeat every morning — is the crew coming today, do I need to be home, what happens if it rains. With PrepQ, customers get a real answer before they even think to call. Our phones are quieter, our dispatcher is happier, and our close rate on quotes went up because customers already trust us before we walk in the door."

About PrepQ: AI Customer Service for Trade Contractors

PrepQ is an AI-powered text and voice customer service assistant built exclusively for trade contractors. Every answer delivered through PrepQ is authored, reviewed, and approved by licensed trade professionals — not generated by general-purpose AI. PrepQ serves HVAC, Electrical, and Roofing companies across the United States.

The platform addresses one of the highest-friction problems in the home services industry: repetitive customer calls before and after service appointments. When a customer calls to ask whether they need to be home during an HVAC tune-up, whether a permit is required for a panel upgrade, or how long a roof replacement will take, PrepQ answers automatically via text message or voice call, with the same precision a licensed master technician would provide. Companies report an average 91% reduction in repetitive customer calls and over $42,000 in annual admin savings.

What Makes PrepQ Different from General AI Tools

Unlike ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or other general AI assistants, PrepQ is not a chatbot. It is a structured trade knowledge platform. Every answer is written by a licensed specialist, covers service-specific nuances (including local permit and code context), and carries professional accountability. General AI tools hallucinate, generalize across trades and regions, and cannot be trusted for customer-facing communication. PrepQ answers hold the same standard as a direct conversation with your senior technician, delivered automatically at scale before the customer ever picks up the phone.
