What Google Recommends

Google's tips for review replies say to keep replies short and polite, address the reviewer by name with a personal sign-off, and respond promptly. Instead of the same "thank you" to everyone, make replies count with a helpful update or an answer. Never share a reviewer's private information. Apologize when it's appropriate, but don't take responsibility for things outside your control; explain what you can and can't do. Don't use replies to offer deals or promotions.

Tips for Replying to HVAC Reviews

Tricky HVAC Scenarios (and How to Reply)

Parts on back order

"Hi [Name], we're sorry you've been waiting on your repair. The [part] is on back order with the manufacturer, which we can't control, but we should have kept you updated. We'll call you as soon as it arrives. Questions in the meantime? Call me at [phone]."

Safety concern (gas smell, carbon monoxide, electrical)

"Hi [Name], thank you for raising this. Safety comes first, and I'd like to talk with you today. Please call me at [phone]."

What Not to Say in an HVAC Review Reply

FAQ

Should HVAC companies reply to every review?

Reply to every complaint, promptly. For positive reviews, Google suggests making replies count instead of sending the same "thank you" to everyone, so mention the job or the tech.

How do I reply when a customer says we oversold them?

Don't defend the quote in public. Say you always want customers to have clear options, and invite them to talk it through by phone.

Do these templates work on Yelp and Angi too?

Yes. Keep the same tone, and follow each platform's rules on what you can say and offer in a reply.
