AI Receptionist for renewable heating businesses
Green heating enquiries are surging. Are you answering every one?
Ava is the AI receptionist for renewable heating installers that answers every biomass, solar thermal and heat pump enquiry, explains the grants, and books your home energy assessment — first, every time.
Green heating buyers ring whoever picks up first while they research options. Each missed enquiry forfeits a £10,000–£25,000 biomass or GSHP install, so one lost call a week is £40,000–£100,000 a month walking to a rival installer.
The short answer
The problem
Biomass boilers. Solar thermal. Infrared heating panels. Ground source heat pumps. Homeowners are searching, reading, and then calling whoever picks up first. Your competitor picks up. You don't. They get the job.
What Ava does
Ava answers every green heating enquiry, explains your product range clearly, asks about current heating setup, insulation, and grant eligibility — then books your home energy assessment with the precision of an expert first point of contact.
A biomass boiler or ground source heat pump installation: £10,000–£25,000. One answered enquiry can fund months of Ava.
How does Ava handle a renewable heating enquiry?
Ava answers immediately, asks what the caller wants to achieve, explains the realistic options across your range, covers the relevant grants, and books a home energy assessment from your diary. She captures property type, current heating, insulation, land and budget so your assessor arrives prepared.
A green heating caller is often exploring rather than decided: going off gas, cutting bills, lowering their carbon footprint. Ava plays the knowledgeable guide, narrowing four technologies down to the one or two that suit their property and budget.
She qualifies like an assessor scoping the job: a property with land and a big heat demand opens the ground source or biomass conversation, while a well-insulated home with a south-facing roof suits air source plus solar thermal. That context shapes the assessment.
The booking writes into Payaca, Commusoft or Simpro with the property and technology interest attached, so your specialist opens the visit already knowing they're discussing, say, a biomass retrofit on an off-gas rural property.
Why does a missed green heating call cost so much?
Renewable buyers research widely and ring several installers, booking an assessment with whoever answers and sounds credible. A missed enquiry forfeits a £10,000–£25,000 install, so one lost call a week quietly costs £40,000–£100,000 a month in work that goes elsewhere.
The market is growing but crowded. A homeowner weighing up off-gas options rings round, and the installer who answers and explains the choices clearly earns the assessment, which is where the five-figure job is actually won.
Voicemail loses these callers because they're comparing, not committed. A missed call simply moves them to the next installer on their list, and the high value of each job means a single miss dwarfs a month of Ava's fee.
Ava keeps you in the running. She answers every enquiry, handles the technology and grant questions confidently, and books the assessment, so the surge in demand turns into surveys in your diary rather than calls you never knew you lost.
Can Ava explain biomass, solar thermal and heat pumps without confusing callers?
Yes. Ava is trained on your full range and explains each technology in plain terms, then guides the caller toward the right option for their property, fuel, land and budget. She frames the home energy assessment as where your specialist confirms the recommendation, rather than over-committing on the phone.
Callers rarely know the difference between a heat pump and a biomass boiler, let alone which suits them. Ava handles that the way a good salesperson would, explaining trade-offs in plain English without burying them in jargon or pushing a single product.
She matches technology to property: ground source needs land, biomass needs flue and fuel storage, solar thermal needs roof orientation, air source suits most homes. That guidance gets the caller to the right assessment instead of a wasted visit.
On grants she explains the published BUS and ECO4 criteria honestly but never confirms an individual's entitlement, keeping the claims safe and steering the specifics to the assessment where eligibility is properly checked.
How does Ava handle social housing and local authority enquiries?
Ava recognises a public-sector or social-housing enquiry and takes a different path, capturing the organisation name, number of properties, current heating system and procurement route, then routing it straight to your commercial team rather than the domestic assessment diary.
A registered social landlord or council ringing about a retrofit programme is a fundamentally different opportunity from a single homeowner. Ava establishes that early and gathers the portfolio detail your commercial team needs to respond to a framework or tender.
She captures the scale and the route: how many properties, what they're heated by now, and whether it's a direct award, framework call-off or open tender. That detail lets your commercial estimator engage properly rather than treating it as a domestic survey.
The enquiry is logged as a commercial opportunity in your software and routed to the right team, so a large public-sector programme isn't lost in the domestic booking flow or left on a voicemail over a weekend.

What callers ring about
Every renewable & green heating call, handled.
- Off-gas heating options
- Biomass boiler enquiries
- Solar thermal quotes
- Grant and ECO4 questions
Hear it in action
This is what your callers hear.
- Hi, GreenHeat UK — how can I help?
- I'm interested in going completely off gas. What are my options?
- Great question. For most homes, the main options are air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, or biomass boilers. Do you have any outdoor space — a garden or land?
- Yes, decent sized garden.
- That opens up ground source as well, which is very efficient. I'd recommend a free home energy assessment — we'll survey the property and give you a tailored recommendation. Can I book that for you?
Before you choose
What to look for in an AI receptionist for renewable & green heating.
Whole-range product knowledge
The receptionist must explain biomass, heat pumps, solar thermal and infrared credibly and match them to the property. Generic answers lose a five-figure enquiry.
Honest grant handling
It should explain BUS and ECO4 criteria correctly without promising entitlement. Over-claiming on grants is a mis-selling risk you carry, not the caller.
Domestic vs public-sector routing
Social housing and council enquiries are commercial opportunities. Confirm it captures property counts and procurement route and routes them to your commercial team.
Books the assessment, not a callback
Renewable leads compare installers. Insist it books the home energy assessment in the same call, because a callback queue hands the job to whoever answered live.
Common questions
Everything you’re wondering.
Can Ava handle enquiries about multiple green heating technologies?
Yes. Ava is trained on your specific product and service range — biomass, GSHP, ASHP, solar thermal, infrared — and provides accurate, brand-consistent responses to each.
Does Ava know about current government grants and incentives?
Yes. Ava is kept up to date with BUS grant information, ECO4 eligibility, and other UK heating incentives — helping callers understand what financial support they may be entitled to.
What qualifying information does Ava capture for renewable heating enquiries?
Property type and size, current heating system, EPC rating, insulation levels, land availability (for GSHP), and budget range — so your assessor arrives fully prepared.
Can Ava handle enquiries from social housing and local authority clients?
Yes. Ava captures the organisation name, number of properties, current heating system, and procurement route — routing public sector enquiries directly to your commercial team.
Green heating buyers compare options and installers. How does Ava win the assessment?
By being the informed first voice they reach. She explains biomass, heat pumps and solar thermal in plain terms, covers the relevant grants, and books a home energy assessment in the same call, while rivals are still returning voicemails.
Won't a caller asking about four technologies confuse a phone bot?
No. Ava is trained on your full product range and guides the caller toward the right option based on their property, fuel, land and budget, then books the assessment where your specialist confirms the recommendation.
Does Ava log green heating enquiries into our software?
Yes. Ava writes the assessment into Payaca, Commusoft, Simpro or Joblogic with the property type, current heating, land availability and grant interest attached, so your assessor reviews the case before the visit.
How quickly can Ava handle our renewable enquiries?
Typically within 48 hours. We train her on your technologies, current grant figures, MCS status and survey areas, connect her to your software, then test against real enquiry calls before she goes live.
Pricing
Ava pays for herself on call one.
A biomass boiler or ground source heat pump installation: £10,000–£25,000. One answered enquiry can fund months of Ava. Plans from £397/mo. One recovered job a month covers it — everything else is pure upside.
