Using Instagram to Grow Your HVAC Business

Updated September 6, 2021

Instagram is a great way to grow your HVAC business. Instagram gives you the opportunity to market your company in a fun and creative way, which can lead to more customers if done right. Instagram is perfect for getting the word out about what you do in an interesting and engaging way that people would enjoy following.

And Instagram has many benefits too! It’s totally free, easy-to-use, and there are no limits on how often you post or how big of images you use either. With Instagram it’s all about quality, not quantity – so don’t be afraid that posting every day will make your account look spammy because it won’t! If anything, followers will appreciate seeing something new from their favorite accounts every single day.

How Instagram Benefits HVAC Businesses

  1. Connect to your customers. Instagram can help you increase cross-channel engagement by using Instagram photos on your site. When a customer is browsing, they may not follow you already on Instagram but when they see the gallery of images from other accounts that are connected to yours through hashtags or tags, it will allow them to click though and start following again. 
  2. Build your brand. Research shows that Instagram is one of the best social channels for time spent on site. The reason why? Users are more engaged with their content than any other platform, even beating out sites like Facebook and YouTube!
  3. User-generated content. If you don’t already have solid user-generated content marketing strategies, it’s time to jump on board. Instagram has the potential for user-generated content built in which can be very effective at growing relevant traffic and sales! Let your clients produce HVAC content for you by using branded hashtags or reposting their pictures.
