More numbers that spell HVAC
Local matches first, then toll-free.
Heating and cooling all year
An HVAC company answers two seasons of emergencies. In summer it is the air conditioner that stops on the hottest day of the week. In winter it is the furnace that won't light. In between come the calls that keep a business steady: tune-ups, filter changes, duct cleaning and replacement quotes.
A number that spells HEAT, COOL or HVAC covers the whole calendar. Customers who used you for a summer repair can recall the same number when the heat goes out in January.
Where to put it
- A sticker on the indoor unit and the thermostat. That is exactly where the homeowner is standing when something goes wrong.
- Maintenance agreement paperwork, so seasonal check-ups get booked with you and not with whoever calls first.
- Van wraps and yard signs during installs, when the whole street can see the new condenser going in.
When calls spike
The first heat wave or cold snap brings a surge of calls. Calls to the number ring the phone you already carry, and missed calls go to your usual voicemail. Texts arrive as email, so a customer can send the model number from the unit's label while you are on another job.
HVAC or AC repair?
