HVAC Contractors

    Service calls keep the phones busy. Is your account booking installs?

    Repair and service-call searches are cheap to win and rarely turn into a system replacement. I audit your Google Ads, show you where the money actually goes, and tell you what I'd change to put more of it on replacement and install searches. No pitch. You keep the report.

    Takes 24-48 hours. You keep the report regardless.

    The busy season hides the waste.

    Summer and winter bring plenty of clicks, so an account can look healthy while much of the budget goes to repair calls and price shoppers. The money is in replacements and installs, and they need their own keywords, budget and tracking.

    The Money
    Replacements
    A new system or heat pump is worth many service calls. Replacement and installation searches deserve their own campaigns and the bigger share of the budget.
    The Trap
    Repair Clicks
    "Cheap AC repair" and "free estimate" searches bring price shoppers and quote collectors. They look like leads and rarely close on a new system.
    The Calendar
    Peaks
    Pausing ads when the board is full cuts off the quote backlog for the slow months. I use peak traffic to build that backlog, and ease bids back when crews can't take more work.

    Utility rebate programs such as Mass Save (MA), NY Clean Heat, Focus on Energy (WI) and Xcel Energy (MN) push homeowners toward high-efficiency replacements. Searches tied to them are worth bidding for.

    Four things that decide whether HVAC ads pay off.

    Every audit covers the whole account, but these four areas decide how much of the budget reaches replacement and install jobs.

    01

    Search Terms

    Repair, DIY, parts, jobs and "cheap" searches, plus towns you don't serve. I pull the full search terms report and show you what's recoverable each month.

    02

    Replacement vs. Repair

    Whether replacement, installation and repair searches share one campaign. When they do, the cheaper repair clicks usually take most of the budget.

    03

    Conversion Tracking

    Which actions count as leads. Calls, forms and booked estimates should drive the bidding; map clicks and page views shouldn't. I also check whether calls from ads are tracked at all.

    04

    Service Area and Schedule

    Whether the radius reaches price-sensitive areas you don't want, and whether the ad schedule and bids match when your crews can actually take new work.

    How most HVAC accounts are set up, and what I change.

    The same budget goes a lot further when it's pointed at the jobs you want.

    Typical HVAC SetupHow I Set It Up
    Keywords Broad match like "HVAC repair" and "AC service" Replacement and install intent: "AC replacement," "furnace installation"
    Service Area 20+ mile radius, including price-sensitive areas Built around the zip codes your best jobs come from
    Negative Keywords Few or none, so DIY and repair searches eat the budget DIY, parts, jobs, cheap and quote-only searches blocked
    Ad Copy "Free Estimates" and "Best Prices" Quality, warranty and same-day install, where you offer them
    Lead Type A mix of repairs, quotes and bargain hunters Homeowners shopping for a new system
    Result Budget lost to quote shoppers and seasonal swings Budget aimed at replacement and install leads, all year

    Three steps. 48 hours. No fluff.

    I keep it simple on purpose. The point is for you to understand what I found, not to sit through a 60-minute presentation.
