Running a successful HVAC business today isn’t just about trucks on the road and technicians in the field—it’s also about visibility online. More and more homeowners are turning to Facebook, Instagram, and even TikTok to research services, check reviews, and compare local companies.
If your social media presence is stale (or non-existent), you’re leaving money on the table. The good news? You don’t have to post every day or become an influencer to see results. Here are six simple but effective social media strategies for HVAC contractors.
1. Share Educational Content That Solves Problems
People follow HVAC companies because they want answers to everyday comfort issues—why the AC isn’t cooling, how often to change filters, or whether a furnace tune-up is worth it.
- Post quick tips, explainer videos, or blog links that answer common questions.
- Use real homeowner language, not technical jargon.
- End with a call to action like “Call us if you need a hand!”
This builds trust and positions your company as the go-to expert.
2. Use Video to Build Connection
Video consistently outperforms static images across all platforms. For HVAC contractors, this could be:
- A 30-second clip of your team on a job site (with homeowner permission).
- A technician explaining how to maintain indoor air quality.
- A before/after reel of a system replacement.
Authentic video content makes your team more relatable and puts a friendly face to your brand.
3. Highlight Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Social proof is powerful. Share screenshots or branded graphics of 5-star reviews from Google, Yelp, or Facebook. Better yet, record a short thank-you video and tag the customer (if they’re comfortable).
This shows future customers you’re already trusted in the community
4. Take Advantage of Seasonal Content
Tie posts into what’s happening now:
- “First hot week of the year? Here’s why a tune-up matters.”
- “Leaves falling? Don’t forget your furnace filter.”
- “Holiday hosting? Keep the house cozy without breaking the bank.”
Seasonal posts feel timely, increase engagement, and remind homeowners to act before it’s too late.
5. Show Off Your Team and Culture
Your technicians and office staff are the heart of your company. Homeowners love to see the people behind the service:
- Celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or certifications.
- Share fun team photos or behind-the-scenes moments.
- Post about community events, sponsorships, or volunteer work.
This builds a sense of connection and loyalty beyond just the service call.
6. Stay Consistent With a Posting Plan
The biggest mistake HVAC contractors make? Posting once in a blue moon. Social media only works when you’re consistent.
- Aim for 2–3 posts per week.
- Keep your brand colors, logo, and tone consistent.
- Use scheduling tools to save time.
Consistency is what keeps your company visible and top-of-mind.
