Introduction: HVAC is Heating Up—and So Are Expectations

In the HVAC world, time is money, and mistakes are expensive. Contractors are under pressure to diagnose issues faster, source parts accurately, and deliver excellent service—without endless callbacks or costly truck rolls. The demands have never been higher, and the margin for error has never been smaller.

That’s exactly why companies like APR Supply Co. are turning to innovative technology partners like Blitzz. By adopting Blitzz’s app-free live video support platform, APR Supply Co. is transforming how their contractors interact with technical support, order parts, and solve problems in the field—all in real time.

In this blog, we explore how APR Supply Co. is using Blitzz to not only improve service outcomes but also empower HVAC contractors with the tools they need to thrive.


The Challenge: HVAC Contractors Are Juggling More Than Ever

Field contractors face a daily storm of complexity:

  • Equipment installs and repairs across dozens of makes and models
  • Unpredictable environments and limited on-site diagnostics
  • High stakes for getting it right the first time
  • Rising expectations for speed and service

APR Supply Co., a respected HVAC distributor, saw firsthand how difficult it was for contractors to communicate effectively with tech teams and inside support—especially when describing what they were seeing in the field.

The missing link? Visual clarity.

Without the ability to “see what the contractor sees,” support agents were relying on verbal descriptions, secondhand assumptions, or phone photos sent after the fact. This slowed down troubleshooting, increased part order errors, and reduced first-time fix rates.


Enter Blitzz: App-Free Live Video for Real-Time Collaboration

Blitzz offers a no-download, browser-based video support tool that allows technicians and support staff to instantly launch a visual session—right from a text or email link.

With Blitzz, APR’s support team can now:

  • See what the contractor sees in real time
  • Guide them visually with annotations and on-screen markup
  • Verify part numbers or serial tags without waiting on uploads
  • Reduce the back-and-forth between techs and customer service

This simple, elegant solution has revolutionized the contractor experience.


Use Case in Action: Diagnosing a Faulty Condenser

Let’s take a real-world scenario:

A contractor in the field is dealing with a faulty outdoor condenser unit. It's 90°F outside, and the customer is frustrated. The tech isn’t sure whether the problem lies in the capacitor or the contactor. Rather than blindly guessing or calling in a senior tech, the contractor texts APR’s support line and receives a Blitzz video link in seconds.

The result?

  • A support agent sees the wiring configuration via the contractor’s smartphone
  • Uses Blitzz’s on-screen pointer to highlight the issue
  • Confirms the exact replacement part needed
  • Sends the correct part out that same day

No wasted trips. No wrong parts. No unnecessary downtime.


How Blitzz Supports Contractor Efficiency

APR Supply Co. isn’t just providing better service—they’re redefining what contractor empowerment looks like. Here’s how:

🔧 1. Instant Expertise on Demand

🔍 2. Reduced Returns and Misorders

Clear video confirmation of product specs means fewer mistakes and higher accuracy in part ordering.

🚚 3. Fewer Truck Rolls

📈 5. Improved First-Time Fix Rates

With the right part and diagnosis from the start, contractors resolve issues faster—and look like heroes to their customers.


Contractor Feedback: A Game-Changer in the Field

“It’s like having a tech lead in your pocket. I can show the issue, get feedback, and move on. No need to second-guess or call back later.”
— Independent HVAC Contractor, Pennsylvania
“I used to wait 30 minutes for answers. Now, I get them in three. It makes a huge difference on long days.”
— Field Tech Partnered with APR Supply Co.

APR has effectively created a virtual tech desk that contractors love using—and that reduces friction for everyone involved.


Why App-Free Matters

One of Blitzz’s biggest advantages? No app download. No IT headaches.
