# Lead Generation for HVAC Companies

CurbSight is the property intelligence platform for HVAC contractors who want a steady source of replacement-system leads — not last-minute emergency service calls or shared marketplace leads. CurbSight scores every home in your service area on year built, square footage, financial confidence, and owner occupancy, ranking the homes most likely to need a system replacement.

## The HVAC Replacement Window

Residential HVAC systems have a typical service life of 15–20 years. After year 15, replacement probability rises sharply each year. CurbSight's HVAC scoring model targets this window directly:

- **Year built 2005–2010** — original system is now 15–20 years old and at peak replacement age. Highest priority.
- **Year built 1990–2005** — original system either already replaced (track via permit data where available) or operating well past expected life.
- **Year built before 1990** — original system likely replaced once already; current system age is harder to estimate without permit data.
- **Year built after 2015** — original system still has runway. Lower priority.

Combined with square footage (larger homes need more capacity, drive higher ticket) and owner occupancy (renters don't authorize $8K–$15K replacements), this gives you a tight prospecting list.

## How HVAC Companies Use CurbSight

**Territory build.** Drop in zip codes. CurbSight returns every property with year built, square footage, owner name, value, and exterior condition.

**Score and stack-rank.** Filter to year built 2005–2010, owner-occupied, square footage 1,500+, value $150K+. The result is a list of homes statistically likely to need system replacement in the next 24 months.

**Knock with context:**

- "Property records show your home was built in 2008. The original HVAC systems from that era are right at peak replacement age — we're seeing about 60% of homes from 2007–2009 needing new units this year."
- "Your home is around 2,400 square feet. Most homes that size from your build year had a 4-ton system installed — those are the ones starting to fail in summer 2026."
- "We're doing free system age inspections on the block — takes about 10 minutes. If your unit is fine, we'll tell you, and you can call us in three years."

## Seasonal Strategy

HVAC sales are seasonal. CurbSight enables a year-round prospecting strategy:

- **Spring (March–May):** Pre-summer inspections. Catch failing systems before they fail in July.
- **Summer (June–August):** Replacement season. Top-scored leads convert at the highest rates here.
- **Fall (September–November):** Heating-side prospecting. Same scoring model, different talking points.
- **Winter (December–February):** Furnace-driven sales. Lower volume but high ticket.

Your reps work the same scored list with different scripts.

## Multi-Vertical Stacking: HVAC + Roofing

Many HVAC contractors also sell roofing or are partnered with a roofing company. The same year-built data that flags HVAC replacement candidates also flags roofing replacement candidates. CurbSight's multi-vertical scoring lets you sell both from a single conversation, dramatically improving the per-knock ROI.

## Why Not HomeAdvisor or Networx for HVAC?

Marketplace HVAC leads cost $30–$80 each and are shared with three to four contractors. The homeowner has typically already had a system fail and is calling around for emergency quotes — meaning you're competing on price, not value. Margins are thin.

CurbSight gives you a list of homes likely to need *proactive* replacement before the system fails. Sales motion is consultative ("inspection now, decide later") instead of reactive ("emergency, lowest price wins"). Margins are dramatically better.

## Why Not Random Cold Calling?

Cold calling without scoring means most of your dials hit homes with new systems, rentals, or homes that aren't HVAC candidates. Scoring filters out 60–80% of the wasted dials. For a 2-rep inside sales team, the productivity lift is significant.
