East Texas HVAC Emergency Response Network

A regional HVAC dispatch cooperative that guarantees 4-hour emergency response during peak summer by pre-contracting with independent technicians and offering them steady work in exchange for on-call availability during June-August. Homeowners pay a seasonal membership ($299/summer) that includes priority dispatch, flat-rate emergency calls ($150), and 20% discounts on parts and repairs. The network uses a simple dispatch app and SMS-based technician scheduling to coordinate calls across a pre-vetted roster of 40-60 independent HVAC techs in the region.

Original Problem

HVAC systems failing during peak summer heat in East Texas, leaving homeowners without cooling

East Texas residents face critical air conditioning failures during extreme summer temperatures, with HVAC systems pushed beyond capacity. Homeowners struggle to get emergency repairs quickly during peak season when technicians are overwhelmed, leaving families in dangerous heat conditions. Current solutions fail because repair backlogs are severe and preventive maintenance is often neglected until systems break down completely.
