The short answer
HVAC is the most seasonal trade on this list: no-heat calls in a cold snap, no-cool calls in a heat wave, and quiet shoulder seasons where maintenance plans keep the trucks moving. Redenn builds HVAC sites that switch emphasis by season, book maintenance visits online and hand missed calls to an AI Receptionist, starting at CA$799 for a Business Plus site with booking.
The problems we hear from HVAC companies
- The phone explodes on the first cold night and we cannot answer half of it.
- Summer AC quotes take a week to chase and by then they bought from the big-box installer.
- We sell maintenance plans in person but nobody signs up from the website.
- Our site is the same in January as in July, and neither season is served well.
- Rebate questions eat up phone time and the answers change every year.
- We get calls from outside our service area and waste time on them.
The solution architecture
Each piece maps to a real Redenn service with a published price.
Seasonal emphasis without a redesign
The home page and navigation are built so heating leads in winter and cooling leads in summer, changed from the CMS rather than by a developer. Emergency messaging is prominent when it matters.
Website DesignMissed-call coverage during peaks
The AI Receptionist answers overflow calls, asks whether there is no heat or no cooling, captures the address and system type, and books or escalates according to your rules.
AI ReceptionistOnline booking for maintenance and estimates
Tune-ups and estimate visits booked into your calendar from the site, with confirmation and reminder messages so fewer visits are wasted.
Appointment AutomationMaintenance plan pages that sell
A clear page that explains what a plan includes, what it costs in your market, and lets the customer enrol without a phone call.
Conversion OptimizationQuote follow-up for installations
Furnace, heat pump and AC installation quotes get a timed follow-up sequence with a hand-off to a person when the customer replies.
Lead Follow-Up AutomationLocal search across your service area
Google Business Profile with heating and cooling categories, seasonal photos, and service-area pages for the regions you cover.
Local SearchA pipeline that separates service from installs
CRM Setup with two pipelines: same-day service and multi-week installation sales, each with its own stages and follow-up rules.
CRM Setup
Where HVAC companies usually start
How customers find an HVAC company in Canada
An HVAC customer is either in distress or in research mode. The no-heat searcher wants a phone number, hours and confidence you will come today. The installation researcher compares heat pumps to furnaces, asks about rebates, reads reviews and collects two or three quotes over several weeks.
Both begin with a search, and AI assistants increasingly summarize the options. Google's own documentation says its AI features use the core Search index and ranking systems with no special requirements beyond standard SEO practice, so the same clear service pages and accurate business information serve both.
The seasonal pattern is the thing to design for. The site that leads with air conditioning in February looks unattended; the site that hides emergency heating during a cold snap loses the call.
What an HVAC website must do
The site should absorb peak demand, sell installations patiently and enrol maintenance customers without staff time.
| Page or feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Emergency heating and cooling page | Clear hours, response wording and a tap-to-call button. |
| Furnace, heat pump and AC installation pages | Explains options and what affects cost; captures quote requests. |
| Maintenance plan page with enrolment | Turns a phone pitch into a self-serve signup. |
| Online booking | Tune-ups and estimate visits scheduled without a call. |
| Rebates and financing page | One place to keep changing programs current; say to verify with the program. |
| Service-area pages | Coverage for each region; reduces out-of-area calls. |
| Reviews and install photos | Proof of clean installs and follow-through. |
Automation and CRM for HVAC companies
The service side needs speed; the installation side needs persistence. Two pipelines in one CRM keep them from confusing each other. Service leads get an immediate response and a booking; installation leads get a sequence of check-ins over weeks.
Worked example at published prices: Business Plus at CA$799 (eight pages, booking, CMS), CRM Setup from CA$299, Lead Follow-Up Automation from CA$149 and AI Receptionist from CA$149/month for peak overflow. Hosting on Redenn Business is CA$199/year. Telephony usage is billed separately. If customer accounts or a database are added later, Redenn Dynamic hosting at CA$49/month applies instead.
- Appointment reminders by SMS or email before every visit.
- Maintenance plan renewal reminders on the anniversary.
- Installation quote follow-ups with a stop rule when the customer replies.
- Review requests after completed service and installs.
Compliance and trust
Gas and refrigeration work are regulated provincially, and technician certification and contractor registration requirements differ by province. Show your registrations and certifications as they appear on your paperwork, and describe permits and inspections honestly. Do not publish rebate amounts as fixed facts; programs change, so link to the program and say to verify.
Promotional reminders about tune-ups sent by email or SMS are commercial electronic messages under CASL and need consent and an unsubscribe option; a reminder for a booked appointment is transactional. Forms that collect addresses and system details fall under PIPEDA or the equivalent provincial privacy law. Quebec customers must be able to use the site in French.
When this is not for you
A subcontractor doing installs for builders does not need the seasonal consumer architecture; a Starter site at CA$299 that shows capability and contact details is enough. The full system is for companies competing for retail service and replacement work.
Questions
Can the site change with the season automatically?
Yes. Home page emphasis and navigation order can be scheduled or changed from the CMS in minutes without a developer. It is content, not code.
How does the AI Receptionist handle a no-heat call?
It follows your rules: ask the problem, capture address and system type, mark it urgent, book into an emergency slot if one is available, and message you the summary immediately. Telephony is billed separately from the CA$149/month plan.
Can customers enrol in a maintenance plan online?
Yes. A plan page with a signup form or payment link (Payment integration from CA$99; processor fees separate) lets them enrol without a call, and the CRM records the renewal date.
What does an HVAC website cost with Redenn?
Business Plus at CA$799 is the usual fit because it includes booking and a CMS. A Growth System from CA$1,299 adds CRM integration, website chat and the Search + AI Foundation.
Should I list rebate amounts on the site?
List the programs and link to them, but avoid stating amounts as facts. Programs change and a wrong number on your site becomes your problem.
