HVAC leads from mechanical permits, heat violations and public records
Commercial HVAC accounts surface in the public record before anyone calls a contractor: a mechanical permit on a building, a boiler or chiller permit, an energy benchmarking filing that shows a system past its life, a heat or hot-water violation where the local code agency publishes them, a managing agent taking over a portfolio. FieldClients reads those records in each market every day and matches each one to the management company or owner. Pick your market, filter the feed to HVAC and spend one credit to reveal the decision-maker and the reason to call. Self-serve from $99 a month.

Why B2B: a homeowner AC repair is a few hundred dollars once. A building maintenance contract is recurring work for years. One account pays for a year of the feed.
The HVAC signals we watch
Each one is a public, dated event that predicts HVAC work, and a documented reason to reach out this week.
Mechanical and boiler permits
A mechanical, boiler or chiller permit is filed on a commercial or multifamily building.
Capital work on the system is under way; the maintenance agreement that follows it has not been awarded.
Energy benchmarking filings
In the 27 US areas with a benchmarking law, buildings above a size threshold file annual energy data that exposes an inefficient or ageing system.
A high energy-use score is a documented reason to propose a retrofit or a service agreement.
Heat and hot-water violations
Where the city publishes them (New York City isolates them as a category), a tenant complaint becomes an open violation against the building.
The incumbent vendor is failing right now; the owner needs someone who answers this week.
Building age and equipment flags
Assessor year-built and equipment records show a building whose plant is near the end of its service life.
Replacement is a when, not an if; be the quote on file before it fails in January.
Managing-agent changes
A building's registered managing agent just changed.
New agents arrive with no incumbent loyalty and a mandate to fix what they inherited.
New signals, added regularly
We keep wiring in new public data sources. Every new feed is another dated reason to call, live in your market automatically.
See how the machine works →Every source in your market. Filtered to HVAC.
We read every public source in each market and match each record to the account behind the building. Each signal is tagged with the trades it predicts, so the HVAC filter shows the records that predict HVAC work. The markets below list what each one publishes.
New York City
The deepest public record in the country, on one open-data portal refreshed nightly: DOB permits and violations, HPD violations and registrations that name the managing agent, FISP facade filings, certificates of occupancy and ACRIS deeds. Every building can be matched to the company behind it.
Chicago
A strong city portal for permits, violations, 311 and business licences, with the Cook County recorder for deeds. The registration layer is thinner than New York, so matching leans on licences and ownership.
Phoenix
City permits and code cases, and the Maricopa County rental registration that names the owner and agent for every rented property in the county. A strong account layer.
Homeowner leads buy a job. Accounts buy for years.

HVAC questions
Are these residential or commercial HVAC leads?
Both. Every signal in the HVAC feed is a B2B account: a management company, an owner or a business. Homeowners are not in the feed. Each signal shows the record and the building, so you see whether it is a residential portfolio or a commercial tower before you spend a credit.
How fresh is a heat-violation lead?
Heat violations appear where the local code agency publishes the category, which today means New York City. There we read the violation and complaint feeds daily, and a Class C heat violation typically shows in the feed within a day or two of hitting the public record, while the building is still looking for someone who picks up. Elsewhere the HVAC feed leads with mechanical permits and energy benchmarking filings, read on the same daily cycle.
Do HVAC leads include phone numbers?
Verified decision-maker email on every reveal. Company phone where listed. Personal numbers are rare in public and business records, so we do not promise a column that would often be empty.
How is the feed built for a HVAC company?
We read the public sources in each US market every day and tag each record with the trades it predicts. You pick a market, filter the feed to HVAC and browse every signal; browsing is unlimited. When one is worth a call, one credit reveals the decision-maker and the dated reason to call. Export what you reveal to CSV.
