Receive homeowner heating and cooling requests in your service area

What we send you

A request carries the job the homeowner picked (furnace repair, emergency heating, furnace replacement, boiler repair, heat pump, AC repair, AC installation, mini split, duct cleaning, thermostat or indoor air quality), the ZIP code, the homeowner's name, phone and email, the time of the request and the consent wording they agreed to. The homeowner has agreed to be contacted by one company, by phone call and text, and the consent line names HVACMatch and says it is one company.

We do not send the same request to a list of bidders. If you use a referral partner to place calls for you, tell us when you apply, because the consent wording covers a partner acting for the company that receives the request.

What it costs

You pay per request delivered. Ask us for the current per-request price when you apply. There is no contract and no share of the job. You quote the work, keep the customer and are paid by the homeowner. You can pause delivery at any time, by service or by ZIP code.

What to expect

These are homeowners who asked for help with a specific job. Some will not pick up, some will already have found someone, and some will want a price and nothing else. Requests follow the weather, so a quiet week is possible, and we promise neither a number of requests per week nor that any request will become a job. Our pages tell homeowners what to check first and when a problem needs no technician, so some people who reach the form will have already narrowed it down.

How to apply, and the license we ask for

Write to support@hvacmatchusa.com with the company name, your state contractor license number, the services you want and the ZIP codes you serve. We keep the license number you give us on file with your account. We do not tell homeowners that any company is license-checked: our pages tell them to ask for the number and check it with their state's licensing board themselves.

If your company handles refrigerant, we also ask for your EPA Section 608 certification. EPA's rule says Section 608 "requires technicians who maintain, service, repair or dispose of equipment that could release refrigerants to be certified" by passing an EPA-approved test, and the credential does not expire. Apprentices are exempt only while closely and continually supervised by a certified technician.

In return, we ask that you answer a homeowner's questions about licensing and permits plainly. Our guides tell homeowners to ask for your license number and to check it, and to expect a permit where the work needs one. We may stop sending requests to a company if we learn that it works without the license the job requires.

What we ask of partners

• Call the homeowner from a number that identifies your company, and say who you are.
• State the price, or the way you price, before you send anyone to the house.
• Pull the permit where the work needs one, and say so in the quote.
• Stop contacting a homeowner who asks you to, and tell us.
