FAQs for For HVAC Performance Marketers
1. How much should HVAC companies spend on Facebook ads?
Most HVAC companies see consistent results starting at $1,500–$3,000 per month for Facebook (Meta) ads. This budget allows enough data for Meta’s algorithm to optimize while generating meaningful call volume. Larger markets like Orlando, Tampa, or Miami often perform best in the $3,000–$6,000/month range during peak seasons. Spending less than $1,000 usually limits reach, learning, and lead consistency.
2. Do Facebook ads work better than Google Ads for HVAC?
They serve different intent levels, not better or worse.
- Google Ads capture high-intent demand (people actively searching “AC repair near me”).
- Facebook Ads create demand by targeting homeowners before they search, especially during heatwaves or seasonal changes.
For HVAC companies, the highest ROI usually comes from running both together, with Facebook driving awareness and retargeting while Google captures bottom-of-funnel leads.
3. What ad format gets the most HVAC calls?
The top-performing formats for HVAC are:
- Click-to-call ads (for emergency repairs)
- Short-form vertical video (Reels) with a strong hook
- Retargeting ads to website visitors and video viewers
In our campaigns, video-first ads typically generate 20–40% more calls than static images when paired with proper call tracking.
4. How fast can I see results?
HVAC Facebook ads can generate calls within 24–72 hours of launch. However, optimal performance usually happens after 7–14 days, once Meta exits the learning phase and enough conversion data is collected. Seasonality, creative quality, and tracking setup heavily influence speed.
5. Are video ads mandatory?
No—but they are strongly recommended.
Static image ads can still work, especially for emergency or retargeting campaigns. That said, short-form video ads consistently deliver:
- Lower cost per lead
- Higher trust
- Better retargeting audiences
In competitive HVAC markets, video is no longer optional if you want scalable results.
6. What targeting works best for HVAC?
The most effective HVAC targeting strategies include:
- Homeowners aged 30–65+
- Top 50% household income
- Recently moved homeowners
- Local radius targeting (5–15 miles)
- Retargeting website visitors, video viewers, and past leads
Broad targeting with strong creative now outperforms over-layered interest targeting due to Meta’s AI optimization.
7. How do you track phone calls accurately?
Accurate tracking requires:
- Call tracking numbers integrated with Meta
- GA4 event tracking for calls, forms, and bookings
- Meta Conversion API (CAPI) to reduce data loss
- CRM or call center attribution when possible
Without proper tracking, HVAC companies often underestimate ROI by 30–50%.
8. What months perform best for HVAC ads?
Performance peaks during:
- May–September (AC season)
- December–February (heating in cooler regions)
In Florida and the Southeast, summer heatwaves can reduce CPL by 25–40% due to urgency-driven demand.
9. Can small HVAC companies compete locally?
Absolutely. Small HVAC companies often outperform larger brands by:
- Using local messaging
- Showing real technicians
- Highlighting fast response times
- Leveraging reviews and community trust
With smart targeting and strong creative, smaller teams can win local market share without massive budgets.
10. Should HVAC ads run year-round?
Yes—but with seasonal strategy shifts.
- Peak seasons focus on lead volume and urgency
- Off-seasons focus on maintenance plans, inspections, and retargeting
Year-round campaigns lower annual acquisition costs and keep your brand top-of-mind when emergencies hit.
