Business Idea: A subscription service that automatically ships the right HVAC filters to homeowners, combined with reminders, to simplify filter maintenance and improve indoor air quality.
Problem: Many homeowners forget to change their HVAC filters, leading to inefficient heating/cooling, higher energy bills, and potential equipment damage. They often lack knowledge about filter sizes and replacement schedules.
Solution: An easy-to-use platform where users select their exact filter size and preferred replacement frequency. The service auto-ships filters on schedule and sends reminders via texts or emails, making maintenance effortless.
Target Audience: Homeowners, especially busy individuals or those unfamiliar with HVAC systems, looking for convenience and improved home health.
Monetization: Revenue comes from recurring subscription fees for filter shipments, with potential upselling of higher-quality filters or filters with special features.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Simplifies home maintenance by combining tailored auto-shipping with proactive reminders, addressing a common, overlooked household issue in an accessible way.
Launch Strategy: Start with a minimal viable product offering basic filter sizing and scheduling options, gather user feedback, and run targeted ads or community outreach to drive traffic and validate demand.
