Every commercial build, renovation and property sale leaves a paper trail in public records. HVAC Scout watches those filings in your county and puts the ones with real HVAC scope on your desk before they reach a bid list.
No pay-per-lead pricing. One flat subscription, month to month, cancel anytime. No card needed to see the sample.
The city cited this building for leaking boiler tubes, and the violation is still open, so the owner has to fix it on the city's clock. The citation names the remedy. With a heating plant this old, expect the conversation to turn to replacement.
A 14,000 sq ft office building sold this quarter, and a mechanical permit was pulled at the same address a few weeks later. The rooftop units are old enough to still run R-22. A new owner, end-of-life equipment and active work at once is about as strong as a commercial HVAC signal gets, so call before they settle on a vendor.
Most lead services were built for homeowners replacing a furnace. A commercial shop runs on maintenance contracts and mechanical bids, so you end up paying a premium for the wrong work and sharing it with your competitors.
You tell us where you work. We do the watching. You decide who's worth a call.
Eight kinds of public record in the counties you serve: commercial and mechanical permits, property sales, open code violations, health-inspection refrigeration write-ups, new business licenses, local and federal bids, boiler operating certificates, and EPA air-compliance records. We re-check every day. Most data-only tools refresh about twice a month (as of mid-2026).
Most filings have nothing to do with HVAC. We keep the ones with real heating, cooling or mechanical work and show the source and date on each, so you can judge it yourself.
Each opportunity comes with the public details, who to call when we can find them, and a first message you can edit. The call and the relationship are yours.
The properties where a maintenance contract or replacement is worth real money.
A single rooftop replacement, tenant buildout or maintenance contract runs into the thousands, often the tens of thousands. Land one job from your feed and the subscription has usually paid for itself for the year.
We can't promise you'll win any particular bid. You only need one to come out ahead.
Founding-member pricing, locked for life. 7-day free trial, month to month, cancel anytime.
Exclusive commercial leads bought one at a time run $20 to $120 each. Starter gives you every opportunity in your county with no monthly cap, and nobody else in the county gets them.
Two Regional plans can't share a pipeline or a team. Operator runs the whole shop from one account.
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.
HVAC Scout 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.
We're building for contractors who stay for years, which means real sources and a feed we never pad to look busy.
