Commercial boiler work has its own logic, and most marketing advice ignores it. These guides are written for owners and commercial leads at boiler companies that service apartment buildings, condominiums and strata, institutions and other commercial properties. Each one is long because the subject deserves it, and each one ends with something practical: a worksheet, a sequence or a checklist.
-
Consent-aware outreach to property managers and building owners
Reaching property managers by email or text in Canada means working within Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation. This guide explains the practical approach we use, which channels work best, and how to keep records, without pretending to be legal advice.
-
How property managers and strata councils buy boiler service
Commercial boiler work is bought by a small group of people with different worries. This guide maps who they are, how a decision moves from a cold building to a signed agreement, and what your marketing must give each of them.
-
The economics of commercial boiler service agreements
A commercial boiler agreement is worth far more than its annual fee. This guide shows how to calculate its lifetime value from your own numbers, why renewal rate matters most, and how to set a sensible budget for winning new buildings.

- How to set a sensible budget for winning a new building
- Three levers that raise lifetime value without discounting
- A ten-line worksheet to fill in from your own records

Consent-aware outreach
Consent-aware outreach to property managers and building owners explains how to reach managers by letter, phone, email and text while respecting Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation and privacy law, with links to the official sources.
What you will learn:
- CASL's core requirements in plain language, with links to the CRTC and ISED
- The channels where consent is clearest, in a practical order
- A simple consent record you can keep in a spreadsheet
- A six-step introduction sequence for a management firm
- Why honest claims matter under Competition Bureau guidance
It is marketing practice, not legal advice. Read it before sending a single commercial email.
How the guides fit together
The three guides follow the order most companies should work in:
- Know the value of a building, so you can decide how much to invest.
- Understand the buyer, so you invest in the right places.
- Reach the buyer properly, so your outreach builds trust instead of damaging it.
Each guide links to the services that put it into practice, such as service agreement marketing and the property manager and strata pipeline.
Who writes these guides
The guides are written by Ali Sedighi, MBA, who leads Boilers.Marketing and has 17+ years of digital marketing experience and 150+ live HVAC websites behind him. Boilers.Marketing is part of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group, headquartered in Vancouver. We are a marketing and consulting service, not an HVAC contractor, so the guides stay on the business side: buyers, offers, outreach and measurement. Technical decisions about boilers belong to your licensed staff.
Using the guides with your team
The guides work well as discussion material. A practical way to use them:
- Have your owner and commercial lead fill in the economics worksheet separately, then compare answers.
- Ask your technicians which of the "mistakes that lose buildings" they have seen.
- Review your current outreach against the consent record before the next campaign.

Frequently asked questions
Are these guides free to use?
Yes. Read them, use the worksheets with your team and share them with your managers. There is nothing to sign up for.
Do the guides give legal or technical advice?
No. They cover business and marketing practice. Where a guide mentions a law or regulator, it links to the official source so you can check it, and you should get professional advice for your own situation.
Which guide should I read first?
Start with the service agreement economics guide. Knowing what one building is worth to you shapes every other decision, including how much to spend on outreach.
Will you add more guides?
We add guides when there is something genuinely useful to say. Each guide shows the date it was last updated.
