Why one job usually covers it
Commercial jobs are big. A rooftop-unit replacement, a boiler or chiller, a tenant buildout, or a year of a maintenance contract can be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Set that against a month-to-month subscription and the useful question is whether it’s putting commercial work in front of you that you’d otherwise miss.
What the calculator does and doesn’t claim
It divides the value of a job you win by the monthly cost, so you can see how few wins the math needs. It makes no assumption about how many leads you’ll get or how many you close, because those depend on you and your market. HVAC Scout reads the public record in your counties every day and puts the commercial work in front of you early, each with its source. Getting there first is the edge; closing is still your craft.
Common questions
Does this guarantee a return?
No. It shows how few jobs you'd need to win for the cost to make sense, using your own average job value. It doesn't forecast how many you'll win. HVAC Scout finds the public commercial work early, with its source, and winning it is up to you.
Why is the math usually so favorable?
A single commercial HVAC job, such as a rooftop-unit replacement, a boiler, or a year of a service contract, is often worth months or years of the subscription. The math works with one job you wouldn't otherwise have caught.
What if it's a slow month?
It's month to month, and your dashboard says plainly when a week is quiet. We don't pad it. If it isn't putting real commercial work in front of you, you shouldn't be paying for it.
