Company overview
SmartAC.com deploys in-home sensors at the HVAC or plumbing contractor's homeowner customer sites to monitor system health, then routes the sensor data into both a contractor-facing dashboard and a white-labeled homeowner app. The SmartAC Sensor tracks temperatures, airflow, air filter life through pressure and airflow changes, drain-line activity, and water leaks. AI risk scoring on the platform turns those streams into proactive alerts that the contractor can act on before a homeowner notices the problem. The white-labeled homeowner app puts the contractor's brand in the homeowner's pocket: in-app scheduling, virtual visits, filter reminders, loyalty rewards, and an in-app filter store. The platform splits into two tiers: Connect covers the homeowner-app and scheduling layer, while Detect adds the sensor-driven remote monitoring and AI risk scoring on top. The same platform layers in customer-acquisition tools the contractor would otherwise stitch together separately: Google Ads, Google Maps, and Google Reviews management, AI optimization, and automated social-media scheduling and performance tracking.
SmartAC's commercial model is hybrid recurring: the HVAC or plumbing contractor pays SmartAC a flat platform fee, and SmartAC supplies the in-home sensor hardware and the platform that the contractor uses to deliver membership service to their homeowner customers. Headline pricing is $1,000 per month per contractor, backed by a money-back guarantee. The flat fee bundles the sensors, the homeowner app, the contractor dashboard, the AI risk scoring layer, and the Google Ads/Maps/Reviews and social-media management stack into a single line item rather than separately metered modules. The economic logic for SmartAC is the contractor's membership-retention math: every contractor runs the platform across a growing book of homeowner memberships, so the flat fee captures compounding value as the contractor's membership base grows without changing the contractor's marginal cost.
