I’m not a high-pressure sales guy. I don’t carry a flashy briefcase or throw around buzzwords. My approach is simple: I listen closely, educate homeowners, and let the truth about their home’s performance do the heavy lifting.
When you’re selling High-Performance HVAC™, you’re not just selling equipment — you’re offering safety, health, comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term value. And when you sell it that way, it becomes something homeowners truly want.
Here’s how I do it.
Start with Listening, Not Pitching
When I walk into a home, I’m not rushing to show off equipment specs. I’m there to listen. I ask questions like, “What are you experiencing in your home?” and “What brought me out here today?” I want to hear their story — the discomfort, the high bills, the inconsistent airflow, or maybe the sneezing every morning.
I find that homeowners often don’t know how to express real problems they are having. They might say “My upstairs is hot” or “My unit’s loud,” but what they’re really experiencing are symptoms of deeper performance issues. So, I help them uncover those issues by asking thoughtful follow-up questions and taking them on a journey of discovery.
Build Trust Through Transparency
I always make it clear that I’m not just there to give a quote. I’m there to assess the home, understand the root problems, and offer solutions that will make a lasting difference. I do a full diagnostic evaluation — airflow readings, static pressure, duct inspection, equipment performance — and I explain everything I’m doing in plain language.
make air “visible.”
I use the Canco ClimateCare six-step process guide to explain what and why we test. Homeowners see me testing, measuring, and documenting real numbers. That builds credibility fast. They don’t have to ask what I’m doing — I show them that I am conducting tests that will make their air visible. At Canco, we really can help customers “see air.” None of our competitors can see it if they don’t know how to see it. That requires training and practice.
By testing and measuring, I’m not guessing or relying on assumptions; I’m showing them the evidence. And I always let them know they’re in control. My role is to give them the information they need to make the best decision for their family.
Use Data to Tell the Story
Numbers don’t lie, and they help homeowners see what they’re really dealing with. For example, if the total external static pressure is 0.9 when it should be 0.5, I show them what that means for their system’s efficiency and lifespan. If their ductwork is only delivering 70% of the required airflow, I help them understand how that impacts comfort and operating costs.
I use tools like the report from AirMaxx™/True Flow with NCI workflows to summarize everything I find. But I don’t just hand them a printout — I walk them through the numbers, highlight the red flags, and explain what can be done about them. That’s when the light bulb goes on. They realize this isn’t just about replacing a box; it’s about fixing a system.
