Post ideas · HVAC
What should an HVAC company post in August? A heating failure post would be wrong, and so would a spring tune-up pitch. HVAC is the one trade where the customer's problem is a calendar event, and the companies that get followed are the ones whose feed knows what month it is. Here is a season by season set of post ideas, timed to what the customer feels in their home rather than to what the company wants to sell.
Each season gets a few posts. The trick that makes the whole calendar work is simple: talk about the problem one season before the customer has it. In July you post about September's furnace. In January you post about the spring tune-up. You are early, which reads as helpful instead of salesy.
An air conditioner post in February gets ignored not because it is bad but because nobody is feeling the problem. An AC post on the first hot week of June gets saved, shared, and acted on. The same sentence about the same system lands completely differently across a calendar year, and the only variable that changed is the temperature outside the reader's window.
This calendar is built for a four season climate. If your service area does not have real winters, collapse the winter section into the fall and stretch the summer one; the principle is the season, not the specific dates.
The customer has not turned the AC on since October. These posts land when they first think about it.
A short post walking through the first run of the season: what the odd smell is, why the first cycle runs long, and the two sounds that mean call someone. This is the highest saved post in an HVAC calendar, because the situation happens to almost everyone in the same week.
What a technician actually checks, in order, and what each check prevents. Coil cleaning, refrigerant charge, capacitor test. Show the meter on the capacitor so the post teaches something real instead of claiming something vague.
What a setback does and does not save, and the one setting that matters more than the number. This post gets comments because every household has an opinion, and the comments are the reach.
Demand is at its peak and so is everyone's ad spend. These posts cost nothing and build the next season's calls.
Hold up a filter that came out of a real house: caked with dust, collapsed pleats. One sentence on what it does to airflow and one on how often to change it. Everyone's house has one; almost nobody checks.
A ninety second explainer on heat rising, return paths, and closed doors. No product pitch. This is the post a homeowner sends to their spouse, which is the distribution every feed post is trying to buy.
Film fifteen seconds inside an attic in July, with the heat reading on the screen. Say what that temperature does to an undersized or overworked system. Real footage from a real jobsite beats any stock photo of a smiling family.
Before the first cold night, not after it. Early reads as prepared.
Thermostat set, vents open, filter changed, CO detector tested. Four items, one photo, one post. The furnace post in September is the AC post of March; it gets saved by people who will not need it for six weeks and will remember who told them.
Show the camera or the mirror going in, and say what a cracked one means. This is the one fall post where the mechanism is the message: it is the difference between a company that checks things and one that changes filters.
Cold weather posts should be practical, calm, and honest about when to call instead of waiting.
The three checks a homeowner can do safely (breaker, filter, thermostat batteries), then the honest line: after that, stop touching it and call. A post that tells people when NOT to fix it themselves builds more trust than one that pretends every problem is DIY.
Where detectors belong, what the beep patterns mean, and why a furnace in an enclosed space is the one thing to never ignore. This is the rare post where the stakes justify a direct tone, and it is the one you never attach a coupon to.
Every idea on this page is something a person can make in an afternoon with a phone. The part a tool can take is the repetitive half: turning the week's jobs and the brand's own voice into drafted captions, images and a short video, on schedule, with you approving each one before it goes out.
A free account includes one campaign a week, every week, which comes to 12 posts, 4 videos and 4 cross-posts a month, plus 300 credits refilled monthly and no credit card.
One full season ahead is the working rule. Posting about furnaces in July and air conditioning in January puts the information in front of people before they need it, which is when advice reads as help instead of as a sales call. A simple four season calendar is enough; it does not need to be built week by week in advance.
It can, but it will not work as well. A post that says 'heating and cooling' has not committed to which problem the reader has right now, and the reader who has a problem right now is the reader who acts. Pick the season, name the system, and save the combined posts for the shoulder months when neither is urgent.
No. The highest performing formats in this set are a photo with a two sentence caption and a ten second clip with voice over. The mechanism that makes a seasonal post work is timing, not production value. A real filter held in a real hand in July beats a produced video posted in the wrong month.
Post the educational backlog: the explainers that do not expire, like how a heat pump works or what the refrigerant transition means. Slow season posts are the ones that earn the follows that pay off in the busy season, so keep them specific and keep them honest.
One campaign a week is included free, forever, with 300 credits refilled monthly and no credit card. Approval stays on until you switch it off.
