Social Media Posts for HVAC: Show Up and Stay Visible

If you're running an HVAC business, chances are your customers only think of you when their system breaks. That means you're missing a big window to build loyalty, earn referrals, and stay top of mind. Social media helps you fill that gap, but only if you're posting content that's actually worth their attention.

Why HVAC Pros Struggle with Social Media

Most HVAC companies don’t have someone in-house to focus on social media. And let’s be honest, you probably didn’t get into this business to become a content creator. But the truth is, if you're not posting regularly, you're missing a simple way to stay in front of your customers. And if all your posts are just promos or seasonal discounts, people will scroll right past them.

The good news? You don’t need to be a marketing expert to make social media work. You just need to show up consistently with content that feels human, helpful, and easy to relate to.

What to Post: Real Examples That Work

Think about the everyday moments in your business. That’s where your best content comes from. Here are three HVAC-specific post ideas that feel personal and natural:

  • "Last Week's Emergency Call"
    Post a short story about a recent after-hours job. Example: "We got a call from a family with no AC at 8pm—we were there in 45 minutes. Summer's no joke in [Your City]. Call us before it gets critical."
  • "Maintenance Tip Monday"
    Share a weekly tip like, "Check your filter monthly. A clogged filter makes your unit work twice as hard. Your system (and your energy bill) will thank you."
  • "Meet the Team: Luis"
    Highlight your crew. Snap a pic and say something like, "Luis has been with us for 5 years. His favorite installs? Old homes that need a modern touch."
  • "Before & After: Unit Replacement"
    Show a side-by-side photo of an old, dirty unit and the brand-new system you installed. Add a caption like, "This 20-year-old unit finally retired. Upgraded this family to a high-efficiency system in one day."
  • "Did You Know?" Fact Posts
    Share something short and surprising. For example, "Did you know your thermostat batteries should be changed once a year? Dead batteries can leave you without heat or air when you need it most."

This kind of content builds trust. It shows that you're real people doing solid work, not just another faceless company.

Keep It Simple and Keep It Going

You don’t have to post every day. Start with one post per week and build from there. Keep the tone casual and direct. Write like you're talking to a neighbor. Most of your audience won’t care about technical jargon, they want to know you’re honest, reliable, and nearby.

Another tip: respond to comments. If someone says "Thanks for the tip!" or asks a question, reply with something personal. That little bit of engagement can make a huge difference in how people see your business.

If you're using a platform like Levitate, you can schedule posts ahead of time, reuse high-performing content, and even get marketing advice about what to post and when from your dedicated success specialist. That way, you can stay visible without spending hours on your phone or computer.

Levitate makes it easy to match the right message to the right audience. Want to promote maintenance plans to past customers? Or highlight your 24/7 service to first-time followers? You can do all that with a few clicks.

Start Showing Up Where People Are Looking

When a customer needs HVAC help, they often check your social media before they ever call. If your feed is empty or outdated, they might assume you’re not in business. But if they see helpful tips, smiling faces, and real stories, you stand out from the competition.

Social media isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present.

And when you're present, you stay in people’s minds. Someone might scroll past your post today, but remember you next week when their AC gives out. Or they might tag a neighbor who’s been complaining about their unit.
