HVAC company turns service calls into major equipment sales

Problem

A regional HVAC company’s service technicians were in customers’ homes every day fixing aging equipment, but the sales team rarely knew when customers were ready to replace their systems. Techs would mention in passing that customers asked about new systems or forget to report it entirely. Meanwhile, customers would call competitors for replacement quotes because the company never followed up.

Solution

They deployed buying signal detection across their ticketing system and customer communications. When customers mentioned system replacements, asked about financing, or complained about rising energy bills, the system automatically flagged the account and notified the sales team with context, the customer’s equipment age, service history, and specific interests.

Benefit

Sales closed significant equipment upgrades in the first six months—all from existing customers they were already serving. Their close rate on these warm leads dramatically outperformed cold outreach. Service technicians became revenue generators without changing their jobs, and customers appreciated proactive outreach about problems they were already thinking about. The sales team stopped chasing cold leads and started having conversations with people ready to buy.
