How to choose
HVAC calls cluster in heat waves and cold snaps, so ask how the agency gets you named for emergency repair questions in your service area, and how they'll show you the AI answers month to month.
Beyond that, the same tests apply as for any trade: ask to see where you appear in ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity today, check the agency fixes the basics (crawlable pages, business schema, answer-first service pages), look for off-site work on listings and reviews, and get the price and contract term in writing.

How do HVAC companies get recommended by ChatGPT?
ChatGPT and other assistants name the HVAC companies they can read, understand and trust. In our October 2026 audit of 268 home-service websites, almost all let AI crawlers in, but 27.6% didn't describe the business in structured data and 83.6% had no marked-up answers to quote. Fixing those, and getting listed and reviewed on the sources assistants cite, is what changes the answer.
