Why This Playbook Matters?

You know how to repair heating systems, install energy-efficient AC units, and maintain ventilation systems—but are you using social media to keep your schedule full year-round?

• 40% of customers book the first HVAC company they see online.

Step 1: Build a Powerful Social Media Presence

Why It Matters?

If customers don’t know your HVAC business exists, they can’t hire you.
Social media builds trust, increases visibility, and generates high-intent leads.

1.1 Pick the Right Platforms for HVAC Businesses

✅ Facebook → Ideal for homeowners & property managers, local networking, and community groups.
✅ Instagram → Best for before-and-after system installs, time-lapse repairs, and customer reviews.
✅ LinkedIn → Connect with real estate agents, builders, and commercial HVAC clients.
✅ YouTube → SEO powerhouse—video content ranks on Google and builds credibility.
✅ Google Business Profile (GBP) → Not just social—your #1 ranking tool for local HVAC searches.

 Pro Tip: Post updates, respond to reviews, and keep your business info current.

1.2 Optimize Your Social Media Profiles

✅ Professional Branding → Use a clean HVAC logo and branded cover photo.
✅ Complete Your Bio → Add your services, phone number, and a "Book Now" link.
✅ Use a Pinned Post → Highlight a customer review or a seasonal HVAC offer.
✅ Post Consistently → Businesses that post 3-5 times per week get 2X more leads.

Step 2: Create Engaging & High-Value Content

Why It Matters?

Most HVAC businesses fail at social media because they only post promotions.

The secret? 

Give value first, sell later.

The 80/20 Rule:
✅ 80% value-driven content (education, engagement, tips)
✅ 20% promotional content (discounts, lead-generation posts)

How to Create Ad Campaign using existing Templates

2.1 Content Ideas That Get Engagement & Bookings

• Before & After HVAC Installs → Example: "From an old, inefficient system to energy savings in just one day!"

• Customer Reviews & Testimonials → Builds trust with potential clients.

• Seasonal HVAC Tips → "Is your AC ready for summer? Here’s how to check!"

• Myths vs. Facts → Example: "Myth: Closing vents saves energy. Fact: It actually increases system strain!"

• Behind the Scenes → Show your team repairing a furnace or installing a smart thermostat.

• Live Q&As → Answer common homeowner questions on Facebook or Instagram Live.

2.2 Use Hashtags & Local Tags

✅ Facebook & Instagram: #HVACTech #ACRepair #HomeComfort #LocalHVAC
✅ LinkedIn: #HVACContractor #CommercialHVAC #EnergyEfficiency
✅ Google: Post weekly updates with local keywords to boost search rankings.

Step 3: Turn Followers into Customers with Ads

Why It Matters?

Only 5-10% of followers see unpaid posts. Paid ads ensure your business reaches homeowners before they search for a new HVAC contractor.

3.1 Low-Cost Ad Strategies for HVAC Businesses

✅ Facebook Lead Ads → Customers submit inquiries without leaving Facebook.
✅ Instagram Retargeting Ads → Show ads to people who visited your website but didn’t book.
✅ Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) → Appear at the top of search results.
✅ YouTube Discovery Ads → Promote how-to videos & service highlights.

3.2 How to Target the Right Audience

✅ Target Homeowners & Property Managers in your service area (ZIP codes & radius targeting).
✅ Retarget Website Visitors who checked your services but didn’t book.
✅ Exclude Renters & Irrelevant Audiences to avoid wasted ad spend.
