If you run an HVAC, plumbing or electrical company, your office takes calls all day, and your techs write notes on every job.
Now AI companies want to learn how that work gets done. So can a home service company sell or license its data? Yes, if you know where the lines are.
And stay to the end, because I will show you the 1 kind of call in your system that AI companies want most. Let us start with a number that should worry every owner.
Here is the number. A 2026 study of home service calls found that only 52% of callers reach a person. The rest hit voicemail, wait, or hang up.
And every missed call is a job someone else gets.
That is why AI companies are building tools that answer the phone and book the job. But to do that well, the AI first has to learn how your best people handle a call. Before we get to that, a quick word about me.
I'm Jimmy. I have worked in data at Fortune 500 companies, as a data analyst, a data engineer and a software engineer, and I am trained in data science. I am also a Canadian military veteran, where I specialized in data analysis and reporting.
Selling your data? We are your broker and your technical advisor. We get you the best price, and we guide your team through the technical side, from export to cleaning, so your data stays private. Buying data for an AI lab? We find quality data that fits your requirements and see it through to delivery, so your team can focus on advancing AI research.
So, what does an AI company want from a home service company? The call that booked the job, from start to finish.
First, the call: "My AC is blowing warm air." Then the questions your CSR asks: how old is the unit, is it making a noise? Then the most valuable part, the booking: a time slot, and a reason for the customer to say yes. After that, the visit: what the tech found, and the fix. And finally, the close: paid, and maybe a maintenance plan sold.
That whole story is how your company really works. But not every part of it can leave your office. So let us sort out what can.
Think of it like a traffic light: go, careful, stop.
Go, you can license it: call transcripts with the names taken out, your techs' notes on the problem, the cause and the fix, and your own call scripts, dispatch rules and price rules.
Careful: call recordings. In about a dozen states, like California and Florida, everyone on a call has to agree to be recorded. So only calls where the customer was told count, and transcripts with names removed are safer than voices. Job history is fine, but never with home addresses.
Stop, it never leaves: customer names, phone numbers and addresses, gate and alarm codes, and payment details. Your own lawyer checks the rules for your states.
So now you know the lines. Next, why the go part is worth real money.
Here is why your calls are worth something. The same study found that 55% of home service companies never even ask the caller to book.
But your best CSRs do. They ask the right questions, and they close the call.
An AI that answers phones has to learn from people like them. That is the 1 kind of call I promised: the call that booked the job. And if your company has years of them, AI companies want them. Now, let me show you how one job gets cleaned.
Here is what cleaning looks like, on one work order.
Mrs. Patel, 14 Oak Lane. Gate code 4412. The tech found a 12-year-old unit with a failed capacitor, replaced it for $289, and sold a maintenance plan.
After cleaning, Mrs. Patel is Customer 7781, in Zone 3. The address is gone. The gate code is removed completely. And the price becomes "about $300".
But the lesson stays: an old unit, a failed part, a fast fix, and a plan sold on the spot. That is what the AI learns.
How the cleaning is done, and who does it, is written into the contract. And it is a license, so you keep your data. So, does your company have enough of this? Here is a quick test.
Here it is. Call it the summer-week test.
Pick 1 busy summer week from last year. Can you find the calls that booked a job? And can you match each one to the tech's notes from the visit?
If you can, your company has the whole story, from the first ring to the fix. That is what AI companies want.
It also helps to have about 30 or more people, 3 or more years on the same field service software, and records mostly in English. Your part is mostly exporting the data, and we help with that. Not sure? The free check at the end will tell you.
Now, how does a busy owner actually do this? You fix systems for a living. Let me handle this one. I am your broker and your technical advisor.
As your broker, I bring your company to several AI companies, so they bid, and you get the best terms.
As your technical advisor, I guide your office through the technical side: how to export the calls and the tech notes, and how names, addresses and gate codes come out.
And nothing moves until your lawyer has checked the rules for your states. Each deal is also reviewed by an outside lawyer and covered by an outside insurer. The terms and the price are worked out case by case.
Nothing up front. My fee comes out of the deal when it closes.
So, can a home service company sell or license its data? Yes. Never names, addresses or gate codes. What sells is how your best people work: the calls that booked the job, and the fixes that followed.
If you run a company with 30 or more people, the records you already have could become a new revenue stream. Find out if yours qualifies, free, at AITrainingDataBroker.com.
