Subject
One last check after your HVAC serviceHi Jordan,
Your recent HVAC service is complete, but I haven’t seen an answer to our check-in. To make it easier, reply with one of these:
- Fixed
- Partly fixed
- Not fixed
If you reply partly fixed or not fixed, a service coordinator will review the work order and contact you. This is the final automated check-in for this visit.
If you smell gas, see smoke or sparking, or have a carbon-monoxide alarm, leave the area and follow local utility or emergency instructions.

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
- Repeating the same form request
The customer already chose not to open or complete it.
Use instead: Offer a lower-effort reply that creates the same operational routing.
- Treating silence as a positive outcome
No response says nothing about whether the service worked.
Use instead: End the sequence without changing the recorded service outcome.
Sequence Placement
HVAC Service Resolution Check-In
Use only as the final non-responder step after the one-question HVAC service check-in.
