A 100/100 Lighthouse Website for a Local HVAC Brand Built to Convert Service Calls
We launched a fast, accessible, search-ready Next.js website for Reinhart Heating + Cooling in 8 weeks.
Reinhart Heating + Cooling needed a brand-new digital presence that could clearly present heating, cooling, indoor air quality, construction, and contact pathways for local service customers. We designed and built a 59-page HVAC website with a conversion-focused structure, service-led content architecture, and desktop Lighthouse scores of 99/100 for Performance and 100/100 for SEO, Accessibility, and Best Practices (homepage, median of 3 runs, September 7, 2026).
