CoolLeads reads official city building-permit data, keeps only the commercial jobs that involve HVAC, and scores each one for your shop, with a tailored pitch, the best timing and the context you need to call first.
No logins to check and no spreadsheets to dig through. You get one email a week with the jobs worth your time.
Every week we collect new building permits from the open-data portals of Austin, Chicago and Los Angeles.
We keep commercial jobs with HVAC scope. Our AI scores each one against your profile (service or install, radius, job size) and explains why.
Top leads first, each with who to call, when to call and a suggested opener, so your estimator can pick up the phone right away.
A fit score with the reasons behind it, the role to contact, the best timing and an opener written for your kind of work. The card shown is EXAMPLE data with a made-up address and no personal names.
Why it fits: Interior remodel with mechanical work listed; office use; inside your 15-mile radius; matches your install/TI focus.
Who to call: General contractor of record (company named on the permit), then the property manager.
Best timing: Within 1–2 weeks of issue, before mechanical rough-in.
14-day free trial on every plan. No credit card required.
CoolLeads is HVAC-only, weekly and pre-qualified, at a small-shop price.

A permit is often filed before every sub is locked in, and when one is, the job doesn't end there. New and replaced systems need preventive-maintenance and service agreements, controls, balancing and repairs. Tenants change and spaces get re-fit. Bids also fall through. Each permit tells you which building, which general contractor and which property manager to start a relationship with, so you're the first call for the next job, even if you missed this one.
From the official open-data building permits published by the cities of Austin, Chicago and Los Angeles. We filter, normalize and score them. The cities do not endorse CoolLeads.
