Exclusive HVAC Leads. Your Brand. Delivered in Real Time.
Stop renting shared leads from marketplaces. rebel Ai builds a lead engine you own — and the Growth Team can run the ads for you.
There are two ways to get HVAC leads: rent them from a marketplace that sells the same homeowner to your competitors, or own the engine that produces them. rebel Ai is the second way — AI-built landing pages for every city and service you run, estimate calculators that capture homeowners while they price-shop, and a CRM that texts them back in seconds. Run it yourself free to start, or have the Growth Team build and manage the ads for you. Either way, every lead is exclusively yours.
The problem with buying HVAC leads from marketplaces
Angi, Thumbtack, and Networx are not lead generation — they are lead resale. The same homeowner with the same broken AC gets sold to three, four, five contractors at once, every one of them pays, and the job goes to whoever calls first. You are not buying a customer; you are buying an entry fee to a phone race.
And the race gets more expensive every year. The marketplace owns the homeowner relationship, the marketplace sets the price, and when you stop paying, everything stops — no pages, no rankings, no database, nothing that compounds. Renting demand is a treadmill. Owning it looks like this:
| rebel Ai (owned engine) | Angi / Thumbtack / Networx | |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets the lead | You. Only you. | Sold to 3–5 competing contractors |
| Homeowner sees | Your brand, your page, your number | Their brand, their platform |
| Cost model | Flat plan or flat management + your ad budget | Pay per shared lead; prices rise |
| Follow-up | Text + email fire in seconds, automatically | You vs. everyone, by hand |
| When you stop paying | Pages, database, rankings stay yours | Leads stop instantly |
Two ways to get HVAC leads with rebel Ai
Same engine, two ways to run it. Do it yourself with the software, or hand the traffic side to the Growth Team. Most companies start with one and add the other.
Do it yourself — free to start
Create a free account, name your company, your service area, and your services, and the AI builds a city-plus-service landing page — "AC repair in Round Rock," "furnace replacement in Franklin" — in under 5 minutes, with LocalBusiness schema in the markup so Google and AI assistants understand your trade and territory. Add an estimate calculator and the "what's this going to cost?" traffic that bounces off most contractor websites turns into named leads — full entries and partial entries both, so even the homeowner who bails halfway becomes a follow-up. Every lead lands in the built-in CRM, which texts the homeowner within seconds (TCPA consent is recorded at the form, or the text doesn't send). Build quote-request forms per service line, and let Roxy, the built-in AI assistant, tell you which pages and services are actually producing booked calls.
The full self-serve playbook — calculators, local pages, follow-up automation — is on the Home Services page. Plans run flat, from $0/mo, on simple pricing.
Get Traffic — the Growth Team runs it for you
You run an HVAC company. You have trucks to route, techs to keep busy, and a shoulder season to plan around — becoming a media buyer is not on the list. The Growth Team builds and manages the whole traffic engine so booked calls show up without you touching an ad account. What gets built:
- Google Search campaigns on job-booking searches: repair, no-heat and no-cool emergencies, installs, tune-ups
- Meta and Local Services Ads for seasonal promos, maintenance agreements, and replacement offers
- One landing page per service line — repair vs. replacement, cooling vs. heating — each with a calculator or quote form
- Call tracking and attribution, so you know which campaign produced which booked call
- CRM with speed-to-lead automation: the homeowner gets a text in seconds, your office gets the job
- Monthly optimization and plain-English reporting — no dashboards you need a translator for
How it works:
Strategy call
Your service area, your highest-margin services, your capacity. If managed traffic does not make sense for your market, we say so on this call.
Build — weeks 1 and 2
Landing pages per service line, campaigns, call tracking, and follow-up automation, all under your brand.
Launch — week 3
Campaigns go live. Leads route to your CRM and your phone in real time, exclusively yours.
Optimize — monthly
Budget shifts toward what books jobs. Reporting in plain English: spend, leads, booked calls, cost per booked call.
What it costs. Managed ads start at a $1,000/month minimum budget — below that, HVAC campaigns rarely generate enough data to optimize — and for most HVAC companies we recommend $2,500–$5,000/month. Management is flat: never per-lead, never a commission on jobs. Budget moves up when you need more trucks fed and down when the board is full. And everything built — pages, campaigns, database, tracking — belongs to you.
Talk to the Growth TeamSpeed to lead: the first response wins the job
A homeowner with a dead AC in July is not waiting for callbacks — they are calling down a list, and the first company to respond usually takes the job. rebel Ai fires a text and an email within seconds of a lead coming in, while the homeowner is still on your page, and drops the job on a pipeline board your dispatcher or office manager works from: new lead, contacted, quoted, booked. No sticky notes, no "who was supposed to call them back." The follow-up that slips through the cracks on a busy week is exactly the follow-up the system never misses.
