HVAC REPLACEMENT INTELLIGENCE

Know which homes need replacing before they call your competitors.

We score every home in your market off public permit and assessor records, then hand you the addresses — so whatever you run at them, mail, ads, or a canvassing crew, lands on the houses that are actually due. In Virginia Beach, the first market we scored, that is 9,342 homes with no replacement on record. Your city has its own number.

Screen share, no deck. If the streets don't look right to you, that is a useful answer and we both move on.

THE WHOLE PITCH

Same postage. Same truck. 3.2× the hit rate.

Mail every door in a city the size of Virginia Beach and about one household in 49 replaces a system that year. Mail the top 2% of the score instead and it's one in 15.

Nothing about your operation changes. You send the same number of pieces to a different list.

2,364 of the 116,152 homes scored replaced their system during the test year. Scores were fixed before the window opened — the model never saw these outcomes. Work done without a permit is invisible to us, so these are floors, not ceilings. Every market we build gets the same test before anyone is asked to buy it.

A list is only worth what you point at it.

The file is built to drop straight into the three channels you already run. No integration, no new software, no waiting on anybody.

Direct mail

Mail the list, not the zip

Every flagged home comes with the owner name and mailing address, ready for your printer. Drop 2,000 pieces at the top of the score instead of 20,000 across a zip code.

2,021 homes currently score at twice the city rate or better — one drop, sized for a real budget.

Paid ads

Upload it as an audience

The same file exports in Meta's Custom Audience format, so you can run ads at exactly these households — then build a lookalike off them to widen reach without losing the signal.

Works with whoever already runs your ads — you hand over the file, they upload it. The full flow is below.

Canvassing

Give the crew streets

Scores cluster by subdivision, because the houses were built by the same crew in the same year. That turns into a walking route instead of a list of scattered addresses.

Cohort briefs name the neighborhoods turning over now, with the counts you can quote at the door.

The ad flow, start to finish

Run ads at the exact households that are due — not a five-mile radius.

01

Export

The flagged homes ship formatted for a Meta Custom Audience — owner name, city, state, zip. No emails needed.

02

Upload

Drop the file into Ads Manager. Expect 30–50% of records to match to an account — normal for address-based audiences, and still far tighter than a radius.

03

Target

Your ads serve to the matched households — the homes that actually scored, not everyone within five miles of your shop. A lookalike built off the file widens reach without losing the signal.

04

Refresh

The list moves every month as permits land and homes age in. Re-upload it and your ads follow the score.

You or your agency keep the ad account and the budget. We supply the audience — never the ad spend.

An HVAC system is invisible from the street and fails on a clock.

That combination is rare, and it is the whole reason this works. Nobody — not the homeowner, not you, not your competitor — can see a twenty-year-old air handler in an attic. The permit record can.

01

Every parcel, every permit

Assessor records give us the age, the assessed value, and who lives there. Building permits tell us what has already been replaced — and, more usefully, what hasn't.

02

The gap is the signal

A 1998 house with no mechanical permit on file has either never replaced its system or did it off the books. Both mean the same thing to you: nobody has been back in twenty years.

03

Cohorts fail together

Same builder, same year, same equipment, same salt air. When one street starts turning over, the rest of it is on the clock — and that shows up in the permit record first.

Streets fail together. That is where the money is.

Same builder, same year, same equipment. These are Virginia Beach subdivisions where the turnover has already started — measured, not guessed. Your city has its own.

What you actually get

  • The scored file
    Every owner-occupied home in your territory with a score, an age, and a last-permit date. Currently 9,342 flagged in Virginia Beach.
  • Two exports, ready to use
    The 2,021-home priority list at twice the city rate or better — print-ready addresses, plus the same records formatted for a Meta Custom Audience.
  • Cohort briefs
    The subdivisions turning over right now, with the counts you can put straight into a mailer or say at the door.
  • A refresh every month
    New permits land, homes age past the threshold, and the file moves. Yesterday's list goes stale on purpose.
Who this is for

Shops that already have someone to work a list — comfort advisors, a canvassing crew, a mail budget. We sell the targeting. You still have to knock.

If your work comes entirely from the phone ringing, this won't help you yet, and I'll tell you that on the call rather than after you pay.

If it doesn't work

Sixty days to walk, and you keep the list you already have. No per-lead pricing, no promised appointments, and none of my money in your ad account.

Fifteen minutes, and you'll know whether the streets look right.

I open the Virginia Beach map so you can see exactly what yours would look like. You tell me which neighborhoods you already work, and we find out whether the model agrees with you.
