Try the ROI CalculatorMembership churn is the rate at which customers cancel their maintenance agreements or comfort club memberships. For HVAC companies, even 2% monthly churn compounds to 24% annual loss — meaning nearly 1 in 4 members leave each year.
Retention rate = (members at end of period - new members) / members at start of period × 100. For example, if you started with 300 members, gained 50, and ended with 310, your retention rate is (310 - 50) / 300 = 86.7%.
Top-performing HVAC companies keep monthly churn under 1.5%. The industry average is 2–3% monthly. If your churn is above 3%, you're likely losing significant recurring revenue to preventable cancellations.
ServiceTitan tracks memberships, billing, and service history — but it doesn't alert you when members are at risk of cancelling. That's where MemberBay adds the retention layer: at-risk alerts, renewal reminders, and churn tracking directly inside ServiceTitan.
Common warning signs include: no service visit in 8+ months, missed or declined renewal payment, customer complaint without follow-up resolution, and membership approaching expiration with no renewal activity.
MemberBay Pro is $149/month or $1,490/year. It includes unlimited members, the Pulse Chrome extension for ServiceTitan, automated renewal reminders, and up to 5 team seats. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required.
