WorkHero is an AI-powered back office platform for small HVAC business owners. Founded in 2023 and based in Boston, Massachusetts, the company pairs experienced human office managers with custom AI agents to handle administrative tasks. Its platform integrates with existing software systems commonly used in the trades, including Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and QuickBooks.
The company addresses a significant operational burden: according to its data, more than 80,000 HVAC businesses operate in the United States, 85% of which have fewer than 20 employees. Owners of these small firms spend upwards of 20 hours per week on administrative work, time that could otherwise go toward revenue-generating activities.
WorkHero raised $5 million in seed funding to build out its service. The company operates in the HVAC and broader skilled trades verticals, applying AI automation and AI agent technology to a sector that has been slower to adopt digital tools.
