The Problem

HVAC companies are losing installs to competitors with
more reviews — not better work

Fly-by-night HVAC operators, unlicensed technicians, and out-of-area companies flood homeowners with cheap quotes. Without verified credibility, even the best HVAC companies look identical to the worst.

🌡️

Cheap quotes beat proven service

An unlicensed HVAC tech with 300 reviews wins the install over a certified contractor with 30 — even if their work is dangerous. Price and reviews beat track record every time.

💰

Lead platforms drain your margins

Platforms like HomeAdvisor and Angi charge $50–$150+ per HVAC lead. You're bidding against everyone, with no way to prove your service history sets you apart.

🛡️

Your repeat customers are invisible

Your best customers call you every year for tune-ups and repairs. That loyalty and consistency is worth everything — but no one outside your business can see it.

Why
Merrisk?

For homeowners searching for a trusted local HVAC contractor, the stakes are high — a bad installation or repair can mean thousands in damage and a failed system in the middle of summer or winter. Merrisk gives licensed HVAC contractors and HVAC companies a verified trust score built from real payment data, including chargeback rates, refund history, repeat customer rates, and processing longevity.

Whether you specialize in residential heating and cooling, commercial HVAC systems, AC installation, furnace repair, or full-service maintenance contracts, your Merrisk Trust Score gives potential customers an instant, verifiable signal of your credibility — so they can choose you with confidence, backed by real data, not just reviews.

Why Legitimate Businesses Struggle to Prove Trust

Reviews were never designed to prove legitimacy — and today they often do the opposite. With fake and manipulated reviews widespread, consumers struggle to know who to trust, while legitimate businesses have no reliable way to prove stability, longevity, or real customer relationships.
