How to build B2B lead lists for HVAC contractors
HVAC contractors are one of the highest-value B2B verticals — average ticket size $5-50k and contractors are constantly evaluating software for dispatch, invoicing, customer comms. The lead-list challenge in this vertical is volume — most outreach gets 1-2% reply rates so you need a wide top-of-funnel. Google Maps + Kavex makes this fast: pick a city, search the right terms, get a clean CSV with phone + website + (optional) email.
The scrape (Maps)
Use these search terms in Kavex Google Maps to cover the vertical:
- "hvac contractor" + your target country/city
- "heating cooling" + your target country/city
- "air conditioning installation" + your target country/city
- "hvac repair" + your target country/city
Enrich for outreach
Toggle email enrichment and Email Verifier. About 70% of these businesses have a discoverable email on their website. For the ones without, you have phone numbers — pair Kavex Phone Validator to filter out VOIP/landline before SMS.
Vendor angle
Common vendors who win here: field-service software, dispatch tools, e-commerce parts suppliers, lead-gen platforms, insurance, financing partners.
AI cold email
Generic "Hi, I sell X" gets ignored. Kavex AI Personalizer with the business name + city writes "Saw your <type> in <city> — quick question about <pain>". Reply rates 3-5× higher.
