How a $5M HVAC company cut maintenance contract churn from 28% to 18% and added $118K ARR in one renewal cycle

A $380K ARR maintenance program with 28% annual churn — $106K in lost ARR per year. Renewals were entirely manual: one CSR handled all accounts with inconsistent timing, pricing had not been updated in 2 years, and there was no winback process for lapsed contracts.

ServiceTitan-based renewal automation with 90/60/30-day automated outreach sequences. Renewal pricing logic tied to equipment age and coverage tier — older equipment gets upsell options for premium coverage. HubSpot CSM assignment routes high-value accounts ($2K+ ARR) to a human at the 60-day mark. Automated winback sequence for lapsed contracts. Stripe integration for automated renewal invoicing.

$118K ARR improvement in first renewal cycle

HVAC maintenance contracts are sticky if you reach customers before they have decided to cancel. The 90-day sequence starts a conversation rather than issuing an invoice — customers given 3 months of notice have time to budget. Equipment-age pricing gives the company a defensible reason to price differently. High-value accounts needed human escalation — no automation converts a $3,000/year account as reliably as a skilled CSM.
