Web Design Case Study
Direct Heat
Direct Heat had five decades of local trust. Their website needed to match that reputation online, with clear services, local coverage, and an easy path from search to booked service or quote.
The Review
Direct Heat review
“Comfort without the guesswork, explained clearly online.”
Business Challenge
HVAC services were hard to navigate online
Direct Heat has served Abbotsford and communities across the Fraser Valley since 1976. The company offers furnace and heat pump work, air conditioning, tankless and tank water heaters, boilers, duct cleaning, financing, rebates, and an Elite membership program, but that breadth can overwhelm homeowners if the website is thin or confusing.
Prospective customers needed to understand which service applied to their home, confirm coverage in their city, and book help quickly, whether for a repair, seasonal maintenance, or a full system replacement. Without clear service pages, local coverage, and strong calls to action, good leads were left guessing.

We organized heating, cooling, water heating, and indoor air quality into clear pages so visitors can quickly find installation, repair, and maintenance options.

Dedicated area pages help Direct Heat show up for nearby searches and confirm coverage across Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Langley, and surrounding communities.
Membership & Resources
Elite membership, financing, rebates, and reviews are easy to find, so homeowners can plan long-term protection, not just react to a breakdown.
