HVAC review response generator.

How it works

The tool uses the same review-response logic that powers Riley — the assistant on Quadrum that drafts review replies for HVAC contractors. Paste the review, pick the star rating, and Riley drafts a reply that follows the rules that actually work: acknowledge the customer, stay out of defamation territory on hard accusations, keep the length appropriate to the review's tone, never invent certifications or capabilities you don't have.

You read the draft, tweak anything that doesn't sound like you, copy, and post.

Why responding to reviews matters

Most homeowners pick an HVAC shop after reading reviews AND the shop's replies. A 4.6-star average with thoughtful owner replies converts better than a 4.9-star average with no replies at all — the reply signals that someone's home and paying attention. The shops that rank highest on Google for “HVAC near me” respond to almost every review within 48 hours.

The problem is finding the ten minutes to do it well, on every review, at the end of a twelve-hour day. The templates fix the blank-page problem. They don't give you back the time.

What this tool does and doesn't do

This is Riley without a few of the things that matter most on the paid plan:

• No saved brand voice. On Quadrum you lock in a voice exemplar during onboarding — every reply matches your shop's tone. Here it defaults to a professional, warm, balanced register.
• No automatic-on-every-review. This tool drafts one reply at a time. On Quadrum, Riley drafts every review the moment it hits, ready in your approval queue when you have a minute.
• No Ledger context. Riley on Quadrum knows your service catalog, license numbers, founded year, equipment brands — never invents what you don't actually offer. Here Riley plays it safe with generic language only.

Tips for getting a better reply

• Paste the review text exactly as the customer wrote it — don't edit for grammar. Tone cues live in the original wording.
• If the review names a specific tech, fill in the “Tech mentioned” field. Riley will weave the name in naturally for praise reviews.
• Star rating drives the draft's length and tone. A 5 on a single-line praise review reads differently than a 5 on a paragraph-long story.
• On 1–2 star reviews, the draft stays short and offers to take the conversation offline — that's the safest legal posture, and the format future readers respect most.
