Age is only one input. Current condition, repair history, comfort, efficiency measurements, parts, price, and a qualified inspection also matter. The worksheet does not recommend replacement or predict failure.
If a new repair event occurs, reply with the service reference. Otherwise, we’ll move to {{next_frequency}} contact. Unsubscribe at {{unsubscribe_link}}.

Segment
Inbound Homeowner With Aging Working System And No Open Quote records that pass consent, current-state, ownership, exclusion, and source-system checks.
Delay
Around day 60 while the system is working and no active quote, repair, complaint, or appointment exists.
Reply owner: Hvac Replacement Coordinator responsible for the current record, recipient reply, exceptions, and workflow stop conditions.
- Reconcile the source record, eligibility, consent, exclusions, owner, and required variables.
- Send the template with one action and record the exact version, event, and delivery state.
- Stop conflicting automation, route replies to the owner, and update the downstream stage after resolution.
Stop conditions
- Stop on reply, opt-out, human handling, complaint, dispute, or safety escalation.
- Stop when the action completes, the source record changes, or the recipient becomes ineligible.
- Stop on a higher-priority workflow, cancellation, account closure, or expired timing window.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Sending from a stale or incomplete source record
The recipient may receive an unavailable offer, wrong status, or unsupported consequence.
Use instead: Reconcile required fields and fail closed when any material value is missing.
- Letting automation continue after the recipient responds
A later message can contradict the human conversation or resolved state.
Use instead: Make replies, resolution, disputes, and human handling immediate global stops.
Sequence Placement
Use as a standalone lead nurture message only after the verified trigger and eligibility checks pass; stop immediately on resolution, reply, record change, or human handling.
