Top 10 Fun and Whimsical Infographic Ideas for Fargo’s Best HVAC Companies
As an HVAC marketing professional in Fargo, you know infographics can be a creative way to educate and engage homeowners about heating and cooling topics. But most HVAC infographics tend to be kinda dry and boring, am I right?
Well, it’s time to shake things up with some fun, outside-the-box infographic ideas targeted to the unique vibe of the Fargo community! Below I’ve brainstormed 10 silly, whimsical infographic concepts that will help Fargo’s top HVAC companies show their quirky local spirit while still educating customers.
1. Cats Riding Dinosaurs Wearing Furnace Filters
What’s more fun than cats riding dinosaurs? How about cats riding dinosaurs while wearing furnace filters as hats! This wacky infographic lets you showcase various furnace filter types in a playful way.
For example, you can feature a cat riding a triceratops and wearing a blue electo-static pleated filter. And a cat on a t-rex sporting a red HEPA filter! Slap a snappy headline on it like “Find Your Own Jurassic furnace filter.” HVAC fun for the whole Fargo family!
2. Grumpy Furnace Mascots Complaining About Problems
Give furnaces and AC units funny faces and personalities! Create an illustrated infographic with grumpy, complaining mascot characters representing furnace issues like broken ignitors, dirty flame sensors, and cracked heat exchangers.
“Ugh, my pilot light won’t stay lit!” says a frowning furnace mascot. “I think my blower motor is malfunctioning again,” moans an AC unit character. Make their grumpy problems relatable and funny for customers!
3. Thermostats Doing Funny Things Around Fargo
Imagine thermostats going about daily adventures across Fargo! You can draw comic strips of a Nest thermostat riding the Fargo Ferris wheel, an Ecobee thermostat sledding down a hill, and a Honeywell thermostat fishing on the Red River.
The silly thermostat antics will grab readers’ attention, and you can work in tips about programming and using smart thermostats throughout the infographic. A fun way to beat the winter furnace blues!
4. Cuddly Boiler Mascots Needing Annual Checkups
Continuing the mascot theme, create cutely illustrated mascots of boilers and furnaces that look like they need a checkup!
For example, draw a friendly but dirt-covered boiler mascot saying, “Time for my yearly tune-up with the HVAC pros at ABC Company!” Or a furnace mascot wrapped in a blanket shivering, “Brrr! Guess it’s time to replace my filter!” Use the cute characters to explain maintenance tips.
5. Hilarious Height Chart Comparing AC Units to Celebs
Make AC unit sizes relatable with a funny height chart comparing them to quirky Fargo celebrities and landmarks!
For example, a compact 24,000 BTU AC unit comes up to talk radio host Scott Hennen’s shoulders. A full-size 60,000 BTU AC tower unit is as tall as the Fargo Theatre sign.
Throw in funny celebrity commentary: “Geez, these AC units are almost as big as my ego!” says radio host Scott Hennen.
6. Tongue-in-Cheek Trading Cards for Techs and Tools
Create spoof HVAC tech trading cards highlighting your technicians’ skills and stats. Give them funny nicknames and bios.
“Mike G. – The Duct Detective. With his keen eye and advanced scope camera, no dusty ventilation issue gets past Mike!”
You can make funny trading cards for HVAC tools too!
“FLIR Infrared Camera – spots troublesome leaks from over 300 feet away with its state-of-the-art thermal vision!”
7. Hilarious Flowchart for AC Problems
Flow charts don’t have to be boring! Make a silly flowchart to diagnose common summer AC issues.
“Is your AC not blowing cold air?” If yes, does your condenser fan spin when on? If no, is there a weird burning smell? If yes, congratulations your compressor is fried! Call an HVAC pro!
Add funny gifs or emojis to liven it up. An engaging, laugh-out-loud way to connect with cooling troubles!
8. Creative Superhero Alter Egos for Techs
Give your techs colorful superhero alter egos with clever HVAC-related names and powers!
“By day, a mild-mannered HVAC technician. But at night, he becomes COIL-CRUSHER, wielding the power to defeat any clogged evaporator coil with ease!”
You can have fun brainstorming funny superhero names and abilities for your technicians such as Filter-Man, The Human Humidistat, and Captain Combustion!
9. Wanted Posters for Faulty HVAC Components
Make exaggerated Old West style wanted posters for common defective HVAC parts like a broken ignitor or leaky ductwork.
“WANTED: Defective Ignitor. This lousy ignitor is failing to ignite burners and sought for letting down homeowners. Last seen at 123 Main Street. Get this no-good ignitor before it escapes to other furnaces!”
You can have fun coming up with creative wild west nicknames and backstories for each HVAC component.
10. Your Techs Illustrated As Comic Book Heroes
Comic books are all the rage, so depict your techs as caped crusaders in an HVAC-themed comic book!
“CRACK! Our hero Mike tightens the last bolt to stop the condenser from rattling. ‘Another AC unit saved!’ cheers a grateful customer.”
Get creative with storylines of your techs saving the day and battling evil villains like Mold Monster or the Sinister Thermostat!
