The HVAC shop that picks up first wins the summer
When the AC dies in a heat wave, the homeowner books whoever answers. Sherpa builds and runs the systems that put you on the other end of that call.
How HVAC actually works
HVAC lives on two seasonal spikes and the emergency call between them. When it's 102° in July, the company that answers first gets the job, and the real money is in maintenance agreements and replacements, not one-off repairs. Most HVAC shops sit on a goldmine of aging-system data they never use.
The Sherpa climb, mapped to HVAC companies
Four camps, in order. Each one solves the next-most-expensive problem HVAC companies face. Start where your business leaks most.
In July, the homeowner searches “AC repair near me” and calls the top three results. Trailhead puts you in those results: a fast site that ranks, the map pack in every zip you serve, and a review count that ends the comparison.
Trailhead for HVAC companies → Level 02 · Basecamp Win more jobsDuring a heat wave, the first company to answer gets the job, and your techs can't pick up from a crawlspace. Basecamp picks up in seconds, books the visit, and works your aging-system list before replacement season.
Basecamp for HVAC companies → Level 03 · Peak Operate like a proShoulder season is when the operation should tighten, not drift. Peak puts AI on the costliest functions one at a time: same-day replacement quotes, dispatch against real tech availability, and invoices out the day the condenser is running.
Peak for HVAC companies → Level 04 · Stratos Scale like an enterpriseA multi-branch HVAC operation runs on data it rarely uses: install dates, tonnage, refrigerant, service history. Stratos builds dashboards and AI trained on that history, owned by you, that surface replacements before they fail and margin by tech and branch.
