Commercial HVAC business development

The commercial jobs are public. We just get you there first.

Every commercial build, renovation, and property change leaves a paper trail in public records. HVACScout watches those filings across your service area and puts the ones with real HVAC scope on your desk — before they reach a bid list everyone else is already chasing.

No shared leads. An opportunity we send you is never resold to four other shops. Month to month, cancel anytime.

The problem

The leads everyone's selling you weren't built for commercial work.

Most lead services were designed for homeowners replacing a furnace — not for the maintenance contracts and mechanical bids that actually keep a commercial shop busy. So you pay a premium for the wrong work, and you share it with your competitors.

The usual lead services

The same lead is sold to three to five contractors at once
$50 to $150 a lead, and most of it is residential service calls
You're bidding only after everyone else already saw it
No clue who actually owns or manages the building

Opportunities sourced from public filings in your area
Commercial focus: buildouts, replacements, maintenance, bids
You see them early, while there's still time to get in front
The opportunity is yours — we don't resell it down the street
How it works

Three steps, no cold-call lists.

You tell us where you work. We do the watching. You decide who's worth a call.

1

We watch the public record

Commercial and mechanical permits, property sales, new business filings, and open bids across the metros and counties you serve — checked daily so you don't have to.

2

We flag the real HVAC scope

Not every filing matters. We surface the ones with genuine heating, cooling, or mechanical work and note the source and date, so you can judge it yourself.

3

You reach out first

Each opportunity comes with the public details and a starting point for outreach. You make the call, build the relationship, and win the work.

  • Everything in Local
  • Same-day alerts the moment a filing posts
  • AI-drafted outreach for every opportunity
  • Saved searches, filters, and tagging

For big operators
Operator
One command center for your whole operation — every metro, every rep, and the contacts to reach the decision-maker directly.
$1,200/mo
  • Statewide coverage — up to 30 metros
  • Everything in Regional
  • One shared account for your whole team, up to 10 seats
  • Decision-maker contacts: property managers, GCs, owners
  • Assign, track, and report across every rep and metro
  • Dedicated account manager and custom signal tuning

Two stacked Regional plans can't share a pipeline, a team, or a contact list. Operator runs the whole shop from one place — and one won bid covers it for years.

Why we exist

Not a weekend AI experiment.

A focused tool with one job, built carefully with the contractors who'll actually use it.

HS

Good contractors lose commercial work for one frustrating reason: they hear about the job last. By the time a bid reaches them, the general contractor already has three numbers and a relationship is already forming. Meanwhile the big lead services happily sell the same homeowner furnace call to five shops at once.

HVACScout exists to flip that. The information is already public — permits, property records, open bids — it's just scattered and tedious to track. We do the tracking, surface the commercial work with real HVAC scope, and get it to you while there's still time to be first in the door.

This isn't a throwaway AI gimmick chasing a trend. We'd rather earn a smaller group of contractors who stick around for years than inflate a launch we can't stand behind. Straight talk, real sources, no padded feeds — that's the whole deal.
