Heating and cooling
Two weeks of demand pay for the year. Everything else is keeping the crew busy in April and October.
Schedule a timeShow up in the map pack for repair searches in each city you serve, answer the phone inside three rings, and keep recent reviews coming. Ads cover peak weeks. A profile still needs accurate hours, service areas, and photos.
HVAC demand is not spread across the year and pretending otherwise wastes money. The first stretch of 100 degree days produces more calls than the previous six weeks combined, and whoever is visible that morning takes them.
So the job splits in two. Be findable and fast when demand spikes, and stay in front of maintenance and replacement buyers during the flat months so the crew has work.
A service call is worth a few hundred dollars. A system replacement runs into the thousands, and it usually starts as a repair call that turned into a conversation.
That gap is the whole strategy. Buy repair calls at a price that makes sense on repair margin, then let your techs earn the replacements. If you price your marketing against replacement revenue you will overspend and never know it.
Timing. Two peaks, summer and the first hard freeze. Spend heavy in the four weeks before each, run maintenance plan offers in spring and fall, and protect budget for the emergency weeks instead of burning it in a slow March.

Not a page per zip code. Real pages for the suburbs your trucks reach, with drive times and the neighborhoods named.
Emergency callers dial the next result if you do not pick up. Missed call text back plus after hours routing recovers work you already paid for.
A plan sold in April is a tune up in May, a filter reminder in July and first call on a replacement in August.
Replacement hesitation is almost always monthly payment hesitation. Put the terms on the page, not in the truck.
This sits on top of the home services playbook: get found, convert, capture, grow, prove.
