Win more of them
How HVAC companies win more requests
- 01
Lead with your diagnostic fee
Homeowners want to know the service call fee up front. Say what it is and whether it's credited toward the repair.
- 02
Use system age to prioritize
Older systems often turn into replacement conversations. Requests show the system age so you can plan the visit.
- 03
Sell tune-ups before peak season
Tune-up customers become repair and replacement customers. Offer a maintenance plan on every visit.

FAQ
HVAC pro questions
Do I get AC and heating requests?
Yes. Homeowners request cooling and heating repairs, tune-ups and replacements, and each request says which.
Can I see how urgent a request is?
Yes. Every HVAC request includes the homeowner's urgency so you can sort same-day calls from planned work.
It’s free — so what’s the catch?
There isn’t one. Leads are free with no cap, credits, or card on file. Lead Dog earns 1% only on payments a customer chooses to make through the platform.
How do you decide who shows up first?
Listings follow Job Hound’s matching and directory ranking rules. Contractors cannot buy a higher position.
Am I bidding against four other companies?
No. Homeowners send each contractor a separate request, and you set your own price.
I already use something else to run my jobs.
Keep using it. Requests can still reach you without requiring a migration or changing how you run the rest of the business.
How many jobs will I actually get?
Demand varies by trade and area, so we cannot promise a number of requests or jobs.
What happens to my details?
They build your listing and route requests to you. We do not sell or rent them, and no card is stored.
