HVAC Marketing: How Home-Service Contractors Fill the Schedule
A schedule that stays full through both peaks and the shoulder months, without a $5,000 a month retainer, at prices you can read first.

What is actually wrong
Four numbers that make HVAC companies leave. Four that replace them.
Four figures an HVAC owner hears every year, where each comes from, and the Ziwi figure beside it.
The website
$3,000 to $8,000
The quote from other agencies to build the company website
Typical home-service agency range, Ziwi market notes 2026. A range vendors advertise, not a survey.
At Ziwi
$0
Keep a hosting or Ziwi Care plan 12 months and the $2,500 build fee is waived.
A change
Weeks
How long the fall tune-up price waits to reach the site
The word contractors use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi
24 hours
A price, a new town, a seasonal offer: live within 24 hours, by the person who built it.
The leads
Shared
What a reseller does with the no-cool call you paid for: sells it to two other trucks
How lead resellers work, in contractors' own words. Not a count of anything.
At Ziwi
Yours only
Every lead comes from your own site, ads and map listing. Nobody else gets it. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement
12 months
The term an agency asks an HVAC company to sign, usually before summer
One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi
Month to month
The site, the domain and the ad accounts are in your company's name. Walk away in the off-season for $0.
Two top-row figures are words because nobody has measured either: "weeks" is what owners write in reviews about a change that sat, and "shared" is what happens to a bought lead. Every Ziwi figure under the rule is published on this site today.

Questions
Asked, answered, and the fine print beside it
Six questions an owner asks on the call, the answer in orange, and the fine print beside it.
| The question | The answer | The fine print |
|---|---|---|
| Which marketing agencies for HVAC companies work month to month? | Ziwi does, month to month with no contract, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month, every rung published. Elsewhere, $249 a month all in, website included (Footbridge Media); $3,000 a month with a 3-month minimum (HVAC Marketing Pros) (checked October 2026). See what HVAC marketing costs, line by line. | $497 with spend $1,500 to $3,500, $797 above. Spend stays yours. |
| Is PPC or SEO better for an HVAC company? | Both, on different clocks. Search ads and Local Services Ads book no-heat and no-cool calls this week. Local SEO takes months, then carries the shoulder months. | Run both, ads first. |
| When should an HVAC company run ads, before or during the season? | Before it. Ads take weeks to settle, so a campaign switched on in the first heat wave starts cold while every competitor bids. Go live in the shoulder weeks. | Tune-ups in spring and fall. |
| What if I leave after the summer? | You own the site and the accounts and keep them, at $0. Month to month. | The logins come to you. Nothing to pay out. |
| How fast, before the peak? | Campaigns in 24 hours, the website in 3 days. | Counted from discovery, your approvals and account access. |
| Is the free HVAC website really free? | Yes. The $2,500 build fee is waived in full. | On $99 hosting or $299 Ziwi Care, kept 12 months. |
Month to month throughout. See every published price.
