Did your HVAC service solve the problem?Hi Jordan,
I’m checking in after your recent HVAC service. Did the visit solve the problem you called about?
Choose yes, partly, or no: https://example.com/service-check/4821
Your answer goes to our service team. If the problem is still there or has changed, a coordinator will review the work order and follow up. The form is for service feedback, not urgent help.
If you smell gas, see smoke or sparking, or have a carbon-monoxide alarm, leave the area and follow local utility or emergency instructions.

Subject Line Variations
- Is the original HVAC problem resolved?
Use when the work order clearly records the customer’s original concern.
- A quick check after your HVAC service
A softer option that still names the recent visit.
Best for
- Completed repair or diagnostic visits where the customer can observe whether the original problem improved.
- Teams with a named service owner and work-order-linked response routing.
Don’t send this if
- Open callbacks, complaints, disputes, safety concerns, or visits whose outcome is still under active review.
- Teams that cannot act on partly or no responses or keep review solicitation independent of sentiment.
When to Send It
Trigger
A completed HVAC service visit has a closed work order and no callback, complaint, dispute, safety flag, or active human conversation.
Timing
Send 24–48 hours after completion, once the customer has had a reasonable chance to use the system.
Frequency
Send once per completed service visit, followed by at most one distinct reply-based reminder to non-responders.
Timing note
Do not use the survey path for urgent or changing system conditions.
Make This Email Yours
- Use a form with three clear choices—yes, partly, and no—plus an optional comment field.
- Connect the response to the completed work order so the service coordinator can see the original problem.
- Do not ask for a rating, testimonial, or public review in the same form.
Before You Use This Email
Why This Approach Works
Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
Completed HVAC service reaches the approved condition-check point with no open concern or active human conversation.
Segment
Recently served HVAC customers with a closed work order, monitored reply path, and no callback, complaint, dispute, refund, safety flag, opt-out, hard bounce, or prior survey response for this job.
Delay
First question 24–48 hours after completion; one lower-friction reply reminder 72 hours later only if no response or conflicting event exists.
Reply owner: HVAC service coordinator who can review the work order, contact the technician, and open a service-recovery case.
- Confirm service completion, original reported problem, survey eligibility, and the absence of an open concern.
- Send the one-question check-in and route yes, partly, no, free-text, and direct replies to the correct outcome.
- Send one reply-based closeout only to true non-responders, then end the sequence.
Stop conditions
- Stop on any form answer, reply, complaint, callback, dispute, refund, cancellation, opt-out, or hard bounce.
- Stop when a human begins active handling or a service-recovery case opens.
- Suppress when work-order, completion, contact, owner, feedback-link, or prior-response data is stale or conflicting.
- Route changed symptoms, safety concerns, or regulated-review signals to a qualified human.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Asking only whether the customer is satisfied
A rating does not tell the service team whether the original HVAC problem remains.
Use instead: Ask whether the visit solved the problem and route partly or no to a person.
- Using positive answers to select review recipients
That turns private feedback into review gating.
Use instead: Run neutral public-review eligibility independently and pause only for an unresolved service issue.
Sequence Placement
HVAC Service Resolution Check-In
Use as the first condition check after a completed HVAC service visit and before routine promotion or review requests.
