FREE TO JOIN · NO COST UNTIL YOU'RE PAID

You've seen the lead-gen platforms. This isn't that.

No subscription, no per-lead fee, no spray-and-pray. I send a lead to a maximum of 4 companies, ever, and you only owe a referral fee after you've actually closed and been paid for the job. Open to independent HVAC companies anywhere in the lower 48.

The Mission

I'm not just protecting homeowners, I'm fighting to get good small businesses discovered.

Private equity-backed HVAC companies outspend you on advertising, not on craftsmanship. My focus is putting reputable, independent HVAC contractors like yours in the best light possible, in front of homeowners who are actively looking, without you having to compete dollar-for-dollar against a corporate ad budget.

Whose Side Are You On

The playing field isn't level. This network exists to fix that.

Private Equity Roll-Ups

  • Massive ad budgets dominate search and TV
  • Buy up independent shops, cut service quality
  • Investors come before customers
  • You compete on ad spend you can't match

Brad's Network

  • Free to join, no subscription, no per-lead fee
  • Max 4 companies per lead, never diluted
  • Homeowners arrive already trusting you
  • You only pay when you get paid
What You Get

A referral network built for businesses like yours.

Free to join

No cost to be in the network. You only pay a referral fee after a job is completed and paid for.

Never more than 4

Every lead caps at 4 companies, max. You're never one of a dozen contractors chasing the same job.

Vetted credibility

Being in a curated network is a mark of trust homeowners recognize before you even call.

Level the playing field

Get discovered by homeowners without matching a private-equity ad budget dollar for dollar.

How The Referral Process Works

From lead to close, five steps.

A homeowner comes to me needing a system replacement

I gather their needs, timeline, and how many quotes they'd like (up to 4).

I match them with vetted companies, yours included

Chosen for licensure, insurance, reputation, and fair pricing, never more than 4 companies per lead.

You provide your salesperson's name and direct number

That's who I tell the homeowner to expect a call from. You always make first contact, the homeowner never has to track you down.

Higher answer rates, higher close rates

You run your process like you always do

Quote, close, install, your relationship with the customer from here on out.

You pay a referral fee only if you close

$400, owed only on a completed, paid full system replacement (furnace, AC, heat pump, or comparable). Repairs, maintenance, and service calls are never billable, even from that same lead.

Why the 4-company cap helps your close rateYou're never buried against 10+ competitors chasing the same lead. Fewer, better-matched competitors means a real shot at winning the job, not a race to the bottom on price.

Pricing Scenarios

Think of trust as your foreman on this one: steady, tight-lipped, and only reporting to Brad. These numbers stay off the record with customers and other contractors alike.

To understand how your company prices installations, would you please provide pricing for the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: Replacement of an 80,000 Btu 92% condensing gas furnace and 3 Ton AC with a new furnace of like kind and 14.3 SEER2 3 Ton AC and matching AC coil in a vertical application, with a fully accessible 20' refrigeration lineset and new WiFi digital thermostat.
Scenario 2: Replacement of a horizontal 3 Ton 15 SEER2 attic heat pump system, reusing and flushing the existing refrigeration lineset, replacing the drain pan, and adding a new safety switch and a new WiFi digital thermostat.
Section 8

Your Sales Contact

Why we ask: This is the name and number I give the homeowner before your call, so they recognize you and pick up. This person must make first contact, the homeowner will never be told to call you directly.
