Marketing for HVAC companies

The no-cool call is the whole business. A homeowner with a dead system on a July afternoon searches once, calls the top of the map pack, and takes the first company that answers and can come out. If the repair turns into a replacement, the same customer becomes a considered buyer overnight: three quotes, brand questions, financing questions, and a hard look at reviews. Then there is the maintenance customer, who is worth more over five years than either, and who almost nobody markets to properly.

What they type

• “ac repair near me”
• “ac not cooling [town]”
• “hvac company [town]”
• “ac replacement cost [town]”
• “emergency ac repair”
• “ac maintenance plan [town]”

Nearly every call is urgent and nearly every one comes during the hours the techs are in attics and the owner is driving between jobs. A missed call in this trade is not a lost lead, it is a customer who has already booked somebody else by the time you see the voicemail. The replacement enquiries that follow a repair come in as forms and messages, and they go to whoever answers with a real appointment time first.

Summer is the peak and it is brutal: more calls than trucks, from May through September, with the first real heat wave deciding who wins the year. Winter is quieter and it is when replacements get sold to people who suffered through the last summer, and when maintenance agreements get renewed. The profile, the reviews, and the follow-up have to be built in spring, because there is no time to build anything in July.

• Licence number, insurance, and the brands you install shown up front
• Reviews that mention same-day service and a fixed system, recent enough to be believed
• Real photos of installs and of the trucks, with the town named
• Financing and warranty terms in plain words, because they decide replacements
• Maintenance plan terms that a homeowner can understand in one reading

• Missed calls in the afternoon, which in summer is most of the revenue walking out the door
• A profile that says HVAC but not AC repair, when repair is what people type
• No follow-up after a repair to sell the maintenance plan or the eventual replacement
• One website page for everything, so the business cannot rank for repair, replacement, and maintenance separately
• Ads running to a phone nobody answers, which is the most expensive version of all of the above
