HVACVerify Certified Contractor Program
We're looking for contractors who care about their work to partner with us. Most homeowners have no way to tell a quality HVAC contractor from a shortcut artist. HVACVerify gives you something your competitors can't claim — independent, third-party documentation proving every installation you complete was done correctly.
The problem
If you're already doing quality checks after installation, you're ahead of most of the industry. But there are things that can never be verified after the fact — no matter how experienced your senior tech is.
Why it matters for your business
HVACVerify does two jobs at once: it runs quality control across every install your crew completes, and it gives your customers independent proof of that quality. The first protects your margin. The second wins you work. They pay for each other.
Run a tighter shop
A single callback — the truck roll, the labor, the lost productive hours — runs $150–$600 before you account for the customer-trust cost. Most trace back to something measurable that was skipped or estimated on install day. When every commissioning step is documented in real time, those misses get caught before the crew leaves, not on a return trip.
When a compressor fails in year three, the manufacturer's first move is to look for an installation error to deny the claim — and without documentation, you eat the replacement. A timestamped commissioning record — vacuum to spec, charge weighed, superheat and subcooling in range — is the evidence that shifts a denied claim back where it belongs. One avoided denial can be worth thousands.
With several techs in the field, you have no objective way to know who's doing clean work and who's cutting corners until the callbacks tell you the hard way. Per-technician pass rates and failure patterns show you exactly where to focus training — and which crews you can trust on the jobs that matter.
Over hundreds of installs, your data reveals which brands and models fail disproportionately — independent of how well they were installed. That's purchasing intelligence: stop specifying the equipment that drives your warranty work, and standardize on what actually holds up.
When technicians know every step is captured with GPS-verified, timestamped photos, the documentation process itself reinforces best practices. The standard holds whether or not a lead is on site — the app is the supervisor.
As your tech works through commissioning, the app collects every value the manufacturer startup checklist requires — supply voltage, charge weight, superheat, subcooling, operating pressures, line set length. On submission, a completed startup checklist is generated and attached to the report. Nothing filled out by hand, nothing lost.
Win the next job
Every install your certified crew completes comes with an independent, third-party report the homeowner keeps forever — included, at no separate cost to them. Most contractors say they do quality work. You can hand the customer proof, generated by someone other than you.
When a homeowner goes to buy HVACVerify and finds their contractor is already certified, we redirect them — their installation is already documented. No double-charging, no friction. Your certification turns a service they'd have paid for into something you already provide.
"HVACVerify Certified" appears on every report, in the public verified-contractor directory homeowners check when hiring, and on your own marketing. Because the standard is real — a certified contractor who fails a job gets a fail report — the badge carries weight a self-awarded one never could.
How it works
We set up your account, brief your team, and give each technician access to the HVACVerify documentation app. No new equipment needed — just a smartphone.
On installation day, your technician opens the app and works through a 33-item checklist — photos, measurements, and pass/fail items documented in real time as the job progresses.
The moment the job is submitted, every reading your tech captured — supply voltage, charge weight, superheat, subcooling, operating pressures, line set length — flows straight into the manufacturer's startup checklist. A completed, commissioning-grade PDF is generated and attached to the job automatically. The paperwork the manufacturer requires, done — with zero clipboard time and nothing left to fill in back at the shop.
After submission, a system-generated report is delivered to the homeowner. The report is permanently retrievable and filed to their property record. Your customer gets proof. You get a documented track record.
Certified contractors with a strong track record appear at hvacverify.com/verified — a public directory homeowners check when hiring. Your pass rate and certified status visible to anyone looking.
Your dashboard tracks pass rates, common failure points, and technician performance. Over time this becomes a quality management tool that's genuinely useful — not just for customers, but for running your business.
How certification works
If a homeowner tries to purchase HVACVerify separately and their contractor is already in the program, we redirect them. Their installation is already covered — no double-charging, no friction.
The same standards apply regardless of who pays. A certified contractor who gets a fail report gets a fail report. That's what makes the certification mean something.
Pricing
Every installation your crew completes gets documented and reported. You're billed at the end of each month based on actual job volume. Pricing scales down with volume — higher job counts unlock lower per-job rates. No commitments or minimums to get started.
The badge
Contractors with a strong pass rate and active certification earn the HVACVerify Certified badge — displayed on the verified directory, available for your website and marketing materials, and visible on every report you generate.
Independent verification of installation quality — every job documented, every reading verified, every report on file.
Questions
The program is built for contractors who already do the job right — and want something to show for it. Let's talk about whether it's a fit for your operation.
