HVAC
GroupHound for HVAC pros
HVAC leads from your local Facebook groups
When the AC quits in July or the heat goes out in January, people ask their neighbors who to call, and fast. GroupHound alerts your phone the moment someone in your groups asks, with a reply ready to send.
What it catches
The posts that turn into service calls
“Upstairs unit is running but blowing warm air. Who do you all use for AC repair?”
“Furnace won’t kick on and it’s supposed to drop below freezing tonight. Anyone available?”
“Our system is 18 years old. Looking for quotes on a new one from someone honest.”
“Who does a good spring tune-up? Want to get ahead of summer this year.”
“House is dusty no matter what we do. Should we have the ducts cleaned? Who do you recommend?”
“Got told we need a whole new system. Can someone give a second opinion before we spend that much?”
When it matters most
Two busy seasons, and every heat wave in between
First hot week of summer
The first real heat wave brings a flood of “AC stopped working” posts, and people hire whoever answers first.
First cold snap
Furnaces and heat pumps get their first real test, and “no heat” posts come with urgency.
Tune-up seasons
Spring and fall bring maintenance and replacement questions from homeowners planning ahead.
Ready on day one
Starter keywords for HVAC, already set up
Begin with the words homeowners actually use, then add the jobs you want more of. Ads from other heating and air companies are screened out, so you only hear about real requests.
“AC stopped blowing cold and it’s 95 out. Any honest HVAC companies around here that can come today?”
Drafted reply (example)That heat is no joke, sorry! Quick check while you wait: make sure the filter isn’t clogged and the breaker for the outside unit hasn’t tripped. If that’s not it, I’m John Smith with Tri-City Heating & Air and we may have an opening today. Feel free to message me.

Questions
Questions from HVAC pros
You choose the keywords and the groups, and you can mark anything that isn’t a fit as “Not a lead” so alerts stay relevant. In slow seasons, it helps you find the maintenance and replacement work.
It screens out promotional posts from other businesses. If one slips through, tap “Not a lead” and it learns.
You can send new leads to a Slack channel your team watches, and get a daily or weekly email report of new, replied and open leads.
