Air conditioning marketing for the hottest weeks and the quiet ones

Air conditioning marketing for Australian installers who want installs booked before the heatwave and servicing work when the weather cools.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month

Air conditioning

Air conditioning marketing that follows the forecast

Rock Solid Marketing runs air conditioning marketing for residential installers and service businesses across Australia, from our office in Mildura. We work with trade businesses, and in a Mildura summer we know exactly when air conditioning becomes urgent.

When the first heatwave hits, homeowners ring the first installer they find, and everyone is booked out. The installers who do best have sold their summer jobs in spring and fill autumn with servicing. Your marketing has to move demand earlier, not just catch the rush.

Plans cost from $4,500 + GST a month on our marketing partnerships. A free 30-minute discovery call is the first step. If a Google listing tidy-up and a spring email to past customers would do more, we'll tell you before we quote.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Everyone rings in the first heatwave, and you can't take half the calls.

    What we do

    We run pre-summer campaigns in spring, so installs are booked and scheduled before demand spikes.

  2. Homeowners don't know split from ducted, so they ask for the cheapest quote.

    What we do

    We write plain guides comparing systems, sizes and running costs, so homeowners understand what they're buying and why.

  3. Autumn and winter go quiet.

    What we do

    We market servicing, cleaning and reverse-cycle heating in the cooler months, using your past customer list first.

  4. Past install customers never hear from you again.

    What we do

    We send service reminders to customers who agreed to hear from you, so the install becomes a long-term customer.

What we do for installers

Digital marketing for air conditioning companies, season by season

As a marketing company for air conditioning installers, we plan around the weather: early installs, peak-season visibility and off-season servicing.

Pre-summer install campaigns

Email, social and search campaigns in spring that book installs before the first heatwave, when you still have time to quote properly.

Found when the heat arrives

A current Google Business Profile and service pages that rank in your area, ready for the surge. SEO on its own starts from $1,000 + GST a month.

Plain system guides

Split versus ducted, sizing for the room and running costs explained simply. Homeowners who understand the options choose on value, not just price.

Servicing for every past install

Service reminders to customers who opted in, timed for autumn and spring, so each install keeps paying for years in servicing and repeat jobs.

Ads that follow the weather

Search ads that scale up during hot spells and down when the phone is full. For ads alone, we'd estimate roughly $2,000 + GST a month, plus 10% of what you spend.

Installs and services tracked

Each month you see enquiries, quotes, installs and services by source, with what each channel cost, at a meeting with your account manager.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Residential split and ducted system installers
  • Air conditioning service and repair businesses
  • Electricians and plumbers who also install air conditioning
  • Retailers with their own install crews

Not a fit

  • Commercial HVAC contractors: our HVAC marketing suits you better
  • Anyone who wants a promised number of installs
  • Installers already booked out through summer

How it starts

Marketing for air conditioning businesses, planned by the season

We start with your year: when the calls peak, when they drop, how far ahead you're booked in summer and how many past customers you could contact. Then we check what homeowners in your area see when they search for an installer.

From that you get a calendar that moves installs earlier, fills the cooler months with servicing and keeps your name current through the peak. You approve the offers and messages before anything goes out.

  • When your calls peak and drop
  • How far ahead summer is booked
  • Past customers you can contact
  • Systems and brands you install
  • Licence details your state requires

Sell summer in spring.

Our trade business work

View all portfolio

We approached Rock Solid Marketing to build our online store for our retail division and to look after our existing website. The professionalism of Sean and his team from day one was incredible, they took the time to sit down with us to discuss our exact requirements and they offered suggestions for the build which would improve the overall running of the store.

The finished result of our online store is nothing short of fantastic- it integrates with our point of sale software, it is very easy to navigate, and presents and operates as a professionally made web store should. Since completion and hand over, the back up support we receive from Rock Solid Marketing is remarkable- nothing is too much trouble and we can contact the team at any time with any questions we may have. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sean, Janine and the team from Rock Solid Marketing for building or revamping a website, creating an online store to suit your business or with online marketing.

All FAQs

Plans start at $4,500 + GST a month (28 hours), and ad spend is extra. If you only want ads, we estimate around $2,000 + GST a month plus 10% of ad spend for a single campaign. SEO on its own starts from $1,000 + GST a month.

Move demand earlier and keep customers longer. Run install campaigns in spring, be easy to find on Google when the heat arrives, explain your systems plainly and send service reminders to every past customer. The installers who plan ahead aren't scrambling in January. Spring campaigns also cost less than chasing the summer rush.

Turn installs into ongoing customers. Every install should lead to servicing reminders and, later, an upgrade. Add reverse-cycle heating and servicing to fill the cooler months, and build relationships with builders and property managers for steady, non-seasonal work. Builders and property managers bring work in any weather.

Sell both seasons. Promote cooling installs in spring, heating and reverse-cycle checks in autumn, and servicing in between. A heating and cooling business with a full calendar has fewer gaps than one that waits for the weather to make the phone ring. Reminders to past customers start each season.

Not one that suits everyone. The right agency for you understands seasonal demand, reports on installs rather than clicks, and tells you what not to spend on. Ask any agency how they'd fill your quiet months, and judge them on the answer. The right one will also say when you don't need them.

Show starting prices for common installs, such as a standard split system, with what's included and what changes the price. Homeowners shortlist on price, and a clear guide brings better-prepared enquiries. You set every price and update it as costs change. Price guides also cut the time spent on quotes that go nowhere.

Some states require licence details in trade advertising, and air conditioning work can need refrigerant handling and electrical licences. Where your state requires numbers in ads, we include them. You supply the details and confirm the rules that apply to you. Keep them current as licences renew.

No. Partnership plans have no lock-in, so you can lift your hours in spring and summer and ease back in winter. One account manager runs the plan and catches up with you monthly, on the phone, by video or at our Mildura office by booking.
