Boiler Quote? Service Booking? Your Chat Bot Handles It While You're Under a Flue.
Homeowners researching boiler replacements spend hours comparing engineers online. Your chat bot engages them instantly, answers their questions about brands, efficiency ratings, and costs — and captures the lead before they click away to a competitor.
Here to help See It In Action
Here's how Speed Receptionist handles a real enquiry from start to finish.
A homeowner in Stoke starts chatting after finding your site through a Google search for "boiler replacement near me." They ask: "Our boiler is 15 years old and keeps cutting out. How much would a new combi cost installed?"
The AI explains that replacement costs depend on the boiler brand, property size, and any additional work needed. It asks about the number of radiators, bathrooms, current boiler location, and whether the flue route would need changing. It mentions popular brands like Worcester, Vaillant, and Viessmann.
Boiler replacement lead: 3-bed semi, 8 radiators, 1 bathroom, current boiler in kitchen, wants a combi, ST4 area. Budget expectation: £2,500–£3,500. Available for survey Saturday morning. You call first thing and book.
A landlord chats asking about annual boiler service pricing for 6 rental properties. The AI captures the portfolio details, boiler ages, and whether gas safety certificates are also needed.

We handle everything — you just tell us about your business.
Tell Us About Your Heating Business
Your services — boiler installations, breakdowns, annual servicing, power flushing, radiator balancing, underfloor heating — your Gas Safe scope, coverage area, and how you want no-heating emergency calls handled in winter.
We Build Your Heating-Trained AI
We train the AI with heating system terminology — condensate traps, diverter valves, expansion vessels, zone valves, weather compensation — so it captures boiler error codes, system types, and fault symptoms from every caller.
You Focus on the Boiler Fault, Not the Phone
While you are stripping down a heat exchanger or commissioning a new combi, every call is answered. No-heating emergencies in winter escalated immediately. Service bookings, installation quotes, and landlord certificate requests captured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the chat bot explain the difference between boiler types?
Yes. It covers combi boilers (instant hot water, no cylinder), system boilers (works with a hot water cylinder, good for larger homes), and conventional/heat-only boilers (traditional setup with header tank and cylinder). It explains the trade-offs and helps visitors understand which suits their property — number of bathrooms, simultaneous hot water demand, and space constraints.
Does the chat bot handle boiler breakdown enquiries as well as quotes?
Yes. A visitor chatting at 11pm because their boiler has stopped working gets an urgent response: the AI captures the boiler make, model, fault symptoms, and postcode, then provides your emergency phone number for immediate callback. It recognises the difference between a planned replacement conversation and an emergency.
Can the chat bot discuss boiler brands?
Yes. Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Viessmann, Baxi, Ideal, Alpha — the AI discusses the brands you install and can highlight your manufacturer accreditations. If you're a Worcester Accredited Installer or Vaillant Advance Installer, the AI mentions the extended warranty benefits these accreditations provide.
Does the chat bot handle power flush and system cleaning enquiries?
Yes. When visitors ask about cold radiators, sludge, or system efficiency, the AI explains power flushing and magnetic filter installation. It captures the number of radiators, the age of the system, and any specific symptoms like cold spots or noisy heating.
Can visitors ask about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
If you install heat pumps, the AI can discuss the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant — explaining that eligible homeowners can receive up to £7,500 towards an air source heat pump. It captures the property type, current heating system, and insulation level to help you assess eligibility before the survey.
Does the chat bot capture enough detail for an accurate quote?
The AI captures: property type and size, number of radiators, number of bathrooms, current boiler type and location, flue route, any additional work visible (e.g. moving the boiler, upgrading the controls), and the customer's budget range. This gives you a solid foundation for preparing a quote or determining what to focus on during the survey.
Is the chat widget included in the Core plan?
Yes. Unlimited AI Website Chat is included in the £39/month Core plan alongside AI Phone Answering. No extra charge and no message limits.
Can the chat bot handle smart thermostat questions?
Yes. Hive, Nest, Tado, Honeywell Evohome — the AI discusses smart thermostat options and captures the visitor's preferences. Many boiler replacement customers want a smart thermostat as part of the upgrade, and the AI positions this as an added-value service.
What is the benefit of an AI website chat bot for my boiler and heating business?
Homeowners searching for boiler engineers compare multiple companies online — checking Gas Safe registration, reading reviews, and looking for someone available quickly. A chat bot that confirms your availability, discusses their boiler make, and asks about the fault converts 10-15% of visitors versus 2-3% for a contact form. Your AI captures the boiler make, model, error code, and symptoms during a natural conversation. At £39 per month with unlimited chats, it captures the freezing homeowner searching "boiler repair near me" at 6am. One boiler repair at £150-£400 or installation lead at £2,500-£4,000 pays for the service for months or years.
What if my boiler & heating engineer business changes its prices or services?
Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've adjusted your annual boiler service pricing, added air-source heat pump installations, or changed your emergency breakdown hours, we'll update your ai website chat within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any boiler & heating engineer business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your boiler & heating engineer business.
