Stuck Doing Low-Margin Repairs While Competitors Sold New Systems

HeatFix had everything needed to thrive in the Texas HVAC market—NATE-certified technicians, manufacturer partnerships with Carrier and Trane, and the expertise to handle complex commercial installations. But their phone only rang for one thing: emergency repairs on 100-degree days. The high-margin replacement and new construction work? Going to competitors with better online presence.

Texas summers are brutal, and AC systems don't last long in this climate. Thousands of homeowners search for "AC replacement cost" and "new air conditioner" every month, but HeatFix wasn't showing up. Their website looked like it was built in 2008, showed no financing options, and gave potential customers zero confidence to invest $8,000-$15,000 in a system replacement. Meanwhile, they watched national chains like Aire Serv and local competitors with slick websites capture every high-ticket installation in their service area.

Elek Electrical Services came to us with a problem every skilled tradesperson fears: exceptional expertise but zero online visibility. Despite holding a master electrician license and 12 years of field experience, homeowners facing electrical emergencies couldn't find them online. Meanwhile, big-box franchises with less experience but bigger marketing budgets captured every emergency call.

The owner was skilled enough to handle complex panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, and commercial installations - yet was averaging just 5 service appointments weekly. That's barely sustainable for a solo operation, let alone growth. The digital gap between their technical capabilities and online presence was costing them thousands in lost emergency service revenue every single month.

Trapped in the Repair Loop

92% of incoming calls were for sub-$300 repairs and maintenance—not the $8K-$15K replacement projects needed for real profitability.

Sticker Shock Without Context

No financing information, payment plan options, or energy savings calculators meant customers saw prices and immediately called cheaper competitors.

Missing Decision-Making Tools

Homeowners researching major HVAC purchases found no system comparison guides, SEER rating explanations, or installation process transparency—forcing them to competitors who educated buyers.
