HVACVerify Certified Contractor Program

You do the job right.
Now you can prove it.

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

Your post-install audit can't catch everything.

If you're already doing quality checks after installation, you're ahead of most of the industry. But there are three things that can never be verified after the fact — no matter how experienced your senior tech is.

What your audit can't verify
  • Whether the vacuum test was pulled to spec — the refrigerant is already in
  • Whether the nitrogen pressure test was held — the system is sealed
  • Exact refrigerant charge weight added — the moment has passed
  • That readings weren't estimated rather than measured
What HVACVerify documents in real time
  • Micron gauge reading — timestamped photo before refrigerant is added
  • Nitrogen hold result — documented during the test
  • Nameplate charge weight + oz added — captured at commissioning
  • Superheat and subcooling — calculated from raw inputs, not entered manually

Why it matters for your business

Three reasons quality contractors join the program.

🏆

Prove your quality — don't just claim it

Every installation you complete through HVACVerify comes with an independent third-party report your customer can keep forever. That's a marketing claim your competitors can't match.

📋

Defend manufacturer warranty claims

When a compressor fails at year three, manufacturers look for an installation error to deny the claim. A timestamped commissioning record shifts the burden back where it belongs.

📊

Know if callbacks are a people or equipment problem

Over time your data reveals patterns — which technicians need training, which equipment brands cause problems regardless of installation quality. No one else can give you that intelligence.

Build technician accountability automatically

When your technicians know every step is documented with GPS-verified photos, the documentation process itself reinforces best practices — without a supervisor on every job.

📄

Manufacturer startup checklist — done automatically

As your technician works through the commissioning steps, the app collects every value the manufacturer startup checklist requires — supply voltage, refrigerant charge weight, superheat, subcooling, operating pressures, line set length. When the job is submitted, a completed startup checklist is generated automatically and attached to the report. Nothing to fill out by hand, nothing to lose.

How it works

Simple for your crew. Powerful for your business.

1

You join the program

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.

2

Your tech documents as they go

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.

3

The homeowner receives their report

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.

4

You appear in the verified contractor directory

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.

5

Your data builds over time

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

When a homeowner's contractor is already certified.

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

Per job, billed monthly. No minimums to start.

Questions

What contractors ask us.

You get a fail report — the same report any homeowner would receive. We don't soften findings for certified contractors. That's the point. The contractors who stay in the program are the ones who do good work, and their track record reflects it. A fail report with documented remediation — you fixed the issue and re-submitted — is actually better than no documentation at all.
No. You create the job in your dashboard before installation, give your technician the Job ID, and they document through the app as they normally would. The homeowner receives their report automatically when the job is submitted. If a homeowner tries to purchase HVACVerify separately and you're already certified, we redirect them — their job is already covered.
For a technician who's already doing the job correctly, very little — 10 to 15 minutes of photo capture and data entry at the commissioning phase. The checklist is built around what a quality technician already does. The documentation is the change, not the process.
Yes — custom checklist items are available as an add-on. The standard 33-item checklist covers everything required by major manufacturers. If you have internal quality steps you want to add — your own post-install audit items, brand-specific startup procedures, or additional documentation requirements — we can build those into your template.
The app saves everything locally during the job. Photos, readings, and checklist results are stored on the device and submitted when signal is available — typically when they leave the site or reach the truck. No data is lost.
The automated documentation and reporting is available anywhere. We're currently focused on building the Atlanta market first — both because it's where we operate and because local market depth creates more value for the verified directory. If you're outside Atlanta and interested, contact us — we'd like to hear from you.
