Referral partnerships for Metro Vancouver trades

Proof from real campaigns

Results from our HVAC work, and what they mean for referrals

We don't have published referral-program results yet, so we won't invent any. What we can show are named results from our HVAC work, and the habits behind them that carry over to partnerships.

Written by Ali Sedighi, MBALast updated:

These are real results, but they come from our HVAC work, not from referral programs. We show them because they're named, linked and checkable, and because the habits that produced them are the same ones referral partnerships rely on. If you want the full HVAC list, it's on HVAC.Agency's case studies. Van.Network itself is a marketing and consulting service; neither we nor these results involve doing trade work.

GasBoilers.ca: a division built inside another business

GasBoilers.ca is the closest of these to how partnerships work. It was built as a gas-boiler division for CANRO Heat, with its own identity, a defined service area across 26+ BC communities, and a reputation it earned job by job, now 5.0★ from 76+ Google reviews.

What transfers: a partnership, like a division, works when each side knows exactly which jobs belong to whom, what standard the customer will get, and where the boundaries are. That's the logic behind our program design and written terms.

BCWide.ca: speed and a clear next step

BCWide.ca reached 3× leads in 90 days. A short window like that only happens when the basics are tight: people land somewhere that answers their question and makes the next step obvious.

What transfers: a referred customer is the warmest visitor you'll ever get, and the easiest to lose with a vague page. That's why we write referral landing pages that pick up where the partner left off.

CanroHeat.ca: measuring the right thing

CanroHeat.ca achieved 250% lead growth. Growth of that kind is only visible, and only repeatable, when every lead is counted and attributed.

What transfers: you can't improve a partnership you can't see. Our per-partner tracking applies the same discipline to referrals, so each relationship has its own numbers.

Roma Heating & Cooling: patience

Roma Heating & Cooling saw 400% organic traffic growth over 12 months. That's a result built steadily, month after month, rather than in a burst.

What transfers: referral networks grow at the pace of trust. Expect the first quarter to set up tracking and terms, the second to show which partners matter, and the third and fourth to show real momentum, if you keep your service standard.

What we'll measure for you instead

Because we don't have referral results to show you yet, your own numbers become the evidence. Each quarter you'll see, per partner:

  • enquiries received
  • jobs booked and their value
  • referrals you sent back
  • whether every arrangement with money or discounts was disclosed to the customer

A simple test after two quarters: if a partner's referred jobs book at a clearly higher rate than your cold enquiries, the relationship is worth more of your time. If not, talk to them, or let it go.

How to judge us, without a referral case study

Ask for something you can check within one quarter: a list of your partners with tracked enquiries and booked jobs, a signed page of terms for each partner where money changes hands, and a disclosure line in use. If those three things aren't in place after 90 days, that's a fair reason to leave.

Why we're strict about this

Canadian advertising law expects performance claims to be true and supported, and we hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of our clients' disclosures. We won't show you numbers we can't link to a real client, and we won't present heating results as plumbing, roofing or professional-services results. If that makes this page shorter than you'd like, it's at least a page you can check. More on how we work is on the about page; costs are on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have referral-program case studies?

Not published ones. Rather than dress up HVAC results as something they aren't, we show them for what they are and explain which habits transfer. Your own quarterly tracking will become your proof.

Why should HVAC results matter to a plumber or painter?

The trade differs, but the disciplines are the same: a clear offer, a defined service area, fast response and honest measurement. Those are exactly what referral partnerships depend on.

Can I contact the clients behind these results?

Each result links to the client's live website, so you can see the business for yourself. We don't publish client contacts or quotes.

Will I get similar numbers?

Nobody can promise that, and we won't. Results depend on your market, your capacity and your partners. We'll give you a realistic expectation after looking at your records.
