An HVAC contractor is named on a job once they pull a mechanical permit. Until then, the system is still being bid. Fortific checks every sub-permit on every new home, addition and commercial building, and sends only the jobs with nobody filed.

Austin files mechanical work as an MP sub-permit on the job. We check every sub-permit, at any date. If an MP exists, the job isn't sent.
No. A replacement permit means someone already sold the system.
HVAC leads come from new homes, additions and new commercial buildings, where a new system or extension is needed.
Every lead comes straight from a permit the city issued, checked against every sub-permit on the same job, so we know who's already named. The "why" line tells you exactly which rule made it a lead. The job value and contractor phone are whatever the city recorded; when the city left them blank, so do we.
No phone numbers. Most leads are the contractor running the job, with their phone when the city lists it, which is most of the time. For work that follows a job, like a fence after a new pool, you get the owner of record and their mailing address from the Travis Central Appraisal District's public tax roll, ready for a mailer, plus whether they live there and when they bought. Owners who've had the appraisal district keep their records confidential are never included.
Most lists sort permits by the trade on the permit, so a roofer gets a list of roofs other roofers already sold. We sort by the trades the job still needs. We check every sub-permit filed for the job so we never send you one where your trade is already named, and every lead says in one line why it's yours.
Yes. Building permits and the appraisal roll are public records, and calling a contractor about work on their job is ordinary business. Owner records are for mail outreach only, which you agree to in our terms, and we remove any owner who asks. You're responsible for following do-not-call and anti-solicitation rules where they apply.
