SOUND FAMILIAR?

Running an HVAC or plumbing school is a thousand small fires.

Inquiries go cold by Monday.

You're in the lab. Three leads came in Saturday. By Monday, they enrolled somewhere else.

Most students pay in installments.

No Pell, no co-signer, no time to wait. Payment plans are the deal, or there is no deal.

Certifications live in your head.

EPA 608, NATE, state licensure. When a graduate calls back three years later for renewal, finding their record shouldn't require a file cabinet.

Lumion replaces all of it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Five things HVAC and plumbing schools ask before they book.

How long does setup take?

Most schools are live in 14 days. Setup takes your team about 2 hours total. You get a dedicated specialist, not a chatbot.

Will my admissions staff actually use this?

Your team gets a 30-minute onboarding and a named specialist for the first 90 days. Most admissions reps run Lumion themselves within their first week.

How will I know if it's working?

See which channels fill your classes and which waste budget. On your phone, in real time. Your enrollment dashboard runs alongside your existing reporting.

What if it doesn't work for us?

No long contract to get started. Most schools start with one module (Engagement or Payments) and add the rest as they grow. The All-In bundle is optional.

Is Lumion ready for Workforce Pell?

Yes, and our HVAC and plumbing customers are using us specifically to get there. We map the 70% completion / 70% placement requirements, the SOC-coded occupation tracking, and the governor-approval reporting that Workforce Pell requires effective July 1, 2026. Lumion is the operational layer beneath your Title IV provider.
