HVAC Business Consulting in Burnaby
Turn your HVAC company into a lead-generating, maintenance-contract-recurring machine.
Strategic marketing and business consulting built exclusively for heating and cooling contractors in British Columbia.
The HVAC market in Burnaby is as competitive as it is lucrative. Homeowners and property managers need heating and cooling services year-round — but they call the company they can find first, trust fastest, and book most easily. Most HVAC contractors in Burnaby rely entirely on referrals and one or two Google reviews. That's not a business strategy; it's a waiting game. We help Burnaby HVAC companies build the digital infrastructure to generate consistent inbound leads, lock in recurring maintenance contracts, and outrank every competitor on Google Maps within 90 days.
HVAC market dynamics in Burnaby
BC's HVAC sector is driven by extreme seasonal peaks (furnace calls spike November–January; AC demand surges June–August), a growing heat pump adoption curve driven by federal and provincial rebate programs, and a wave of retiring owner-operators creating acquisition opportunities. The companies winning are those investing in Google Ads before the seasonal peak, managing reviews systematically, and selling maintenance agreements to convert one-time callers into annual recurring revenue.
Burnaby hosts SFU, BCIT and major corporate headquarters including Electronic Arts and TELUS. The market combines mid-market tech buyers with neighborhood-anchored retail and services.
$800 – $12,000 per project (furnace replacement $3k–$8k; heat pump install $6k–$14k; service call $150–$400)
$80 – $300 per new customer via Google Ads; $0–$40 via Local SEO after 90 days
High: Nov–Jan (heating), Jun–Aug (cooling). Low: Mar–May, Sep–Oct — ideal for maintenance contract campaigns.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can an HVAC company rank on Google in BC?
In Burnaby, most HVAC companies see meaningful Google Maps movement in 45–75 days with proper Local SEO work. Full top-3 rankings for primary keywords typically land in 60–120 days depending on current competition. Google Ads campaigns start driving calls in the first 2 weeks.
What's the best marketing channel for HVAC companies?
For Burnaby HVAC companies, Google (Maps + Search Ads) generates the highest-quality, highest-intent leads. A homeowner searching 'furnace repair Burnaby' is ready to book. Facebook and Instagram work for brand awareness and maintenance plan promotions, but they don't match search intent. Start with Google, then layer social.
How much should an HVAC company spend on marketing in BC?
A solid starting budget for Burnaby is $1,500–$3,000/month in Google Ads during peak seasons, plus a one-time SEO investment of $2,000–$4,000. ROI is typically 4:1 to 8:1 within 90 days for established HVAC companies. The key is timing — spend more before your seasonal peaks, pull back during slow periods.
