HVAC marketing break-even calculator

Any marketing spend should pay for itself. Put in the monthly price, your average ticket and your margin to see how many extra jobs cover it. Change the plan price to test any agency's quote.

Calculator

Our Growth plan. Change it to try any number.
–

extra service calls a month pay for the plan

–

months of the plan paid for by one system replacement

–

bought leads cost the same, and those are shared with other shops

Your numbers, your margin. This is math, not a promise of results.

The math

How it's worked out.

No hidden numbers. Here's every step.

  • Service calls to break even = monthly price / (average ticket x gross margin), rounded up
  • Replacements to break even = monthly price / (average replacement x gross margin)
  • Bought leads for the same money = monthly price / price per lead
Improve the number

Three ways to move it.

Track booked jobs, not clicks

You can only check the math if you can see which calls became jobs.

Follow up on quotes

One extra replacement a month changes the math more than any number of clicks.

Ask every customer for a review

More reviews help more of the calls you already get turn into jobs.
