What a hvac lead looks like

One lead
Filed by an individual, at one property, with no contractor named on the permit. We drop every company holder and every holder who turns up at more than one address — that is what removes the permit runners.

Every new permit filed in the city. These cities do not publish who pulled the permit, so nothing here is ever described as owner-pulled — you get the fresh filing and the address, and you find out who is on it yourself. These are all new permits, not owner-pulled — those cities do not publish who pulled the permit, so we do not pretend otherwise. See coverage.

Against a paid lead

Angi & Thumbtack

  • Angi: $15–$85 per lead, plus ~$300/yr and $200+/mo in fees
  • Thumbtack: $8–$150 per lead — $35–$90 for HVAC, up to $150 for a remodel
  • The same lead is sold to 3–8 contractors
  • It is a form fill. Wrong numbers and people who never asked are the standing complaint

Groundwork

  • $39/mo flat — about $2.60 a lead at 15 a week
  • No per-lead charge, no membership fee, no contract
  • Seats capped per trade and region, not sold to the whole city
  • It is a building permit. The job is real, filed, dated and verifiable by number

Angi and Thumbtack lead prices researched 6 August 2026. $2.60 is $39 ÷ 15 leads a week — the cap on a paid feed.
