QuoteShield for Air Con Technicians — Stop wasting time on tyre-kickers who just want a price over the phone
Every summer your phone blows up with enquiries. Half of them are just shopping for the cheapest price, another quarter want you to diagnose their unit over the phone for free. You're spending hours quoting jobs that go nowhere while genuine customers who need installs or replacements slip through the cracks. QuoteShield sorts the real jobs from the time-wasters before you even pick up the phone.

How QuoteShield Helps Air Con Technicians
Filter Out Price Shoppers Instantly
Air con is one of the worst trades for price shopping. Everyone wants three quotes and picks the cheapest. QuoteShield's AI identifies genuine customers who value quality work over bottom-dollar pricing, so you spend your time on jobs that actually convert.
Prioritise High-Value Installs
A ducted system install is worth ten times a regas. QuoteShield scores leads based on job scope, property type, and urgency so you can prioritise the $8k installs over the $150 service calls that barely cover your travel time.
Catch Emergency Jobs Fast
When someone's aircon dies in a 40-degree week, they'll pay whoever shows up first. QuoteShield flags urgent leads with high intent so you can jump on emergency repairs and replacements before your competitors even see the enquiry.

Here's how QuoteShield analyses a real lead for air con technicians.
Incoming Lead
“Hi, we've just bought a new 4-bedroom house in Carindale and need ducted air conditioning installed throughout. The house is single storey, about 220sqm. We'd like it done before summer if possible. Happy to have someone come out for a proper quote. We've got roof access sorted already.”
QuoteShield AI Analysis
High quality lead — genuine ducted install project with clear scope and timeline
This lead scores extremely well. The customer has provided specific property details (4-bed, single storey, 220sqm), has a clear timeline, and is actively inviting an on-site quote. Mentioning roof access shows they understand the process. This is a high-value ducted install worth $8,000-$15,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does QuoteShield understand different types of air con jobs?
Absolutely. The AI distinguishes between service calls, split system installs, ducted systems, multi-splits, and commercial jobs. It scores each type differently based on your preferences — so if you only want install work, service-only enquiries get flagged accordingly.
Can it tell the difference between residential and commercial enquiries?
Yes. QuoteShield analyses the language and details in each enquiry to identify commercial jobs, strata work, and residential projects. You can set preferences for which job types you want prioritised in your lead feed.
How does it handle seasonal rushes?
During summer peaks when you're getting slammed with enquiries, QuoteShield becomes even more valuable. It automatically ranks leads by quality and urgency so you can focus on the best opportunities first, rather than working through them in order and missing the good ones.
Will it work if customers just ask for a price without details?
That's exactly the kind of enquiry QuoteShield flags. Vague price requests with no details about their property or system score low, while detailed enquiries with specific requirements score high. You'll know at a glance which ones are worth your time.
I do warranty work for manufacturers — does that affect scoring?
You can configure QuoteShield to recognise warranty and manufacturer-referred work as high priority. These leads often have guaranteed payment and repeat business potential, so the system can flag them for immediate attention.
