The contractors behind home energy upgrades, and what to say to them.
Oxpium builds the list of insulation, heat pump and window contractors in your area, finds the owner of each, tells you when one of them has a reason to buy, and runs the campaign.

Every energy-upgrade contractor in your area, sorted by trade.
Insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, windows: say which work you care about and where. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, reads each contractor's website to see what they really install and which programs they mention, and hands you a clean list, with no duplicates.

A trade
Attic insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, windows: the agent reads each website and keeps only the contractors who install what you're after.
Rebates on the site
Some contractors put utility rebates and financing up front, others don't: the agent notes it from the website, so you can target either group.
Energy audits
The agent reads each website and notes whether the contractor offers a home energy audit or blower door test before quoting the work.
A size and a rating
A minimum rating and number of reviews, a crew that's hiring, a website or not: criteria you combine with the area in the same sentence.
The owner, and what the crew actually installs.
The owner of a small energy-upgrade company spends the day on job sites: you need their cell, or an email they read at night. The agent finds the owner's name, email and cell, and reads the website for the services offered and the area covered. Every email is verified before it goes into the list.

209 owners found, 171 verified emails, 88 cell phones.
The owner
Their name, a verified email and a cell when there is one: in a crew of eight, the owner is the one who signs off on quotes and purchases.
The website email
When the owner can't be found, the agent takes the contact email published on the website, often read by the office manager every morning.
Services offered
Attic insulation, dense pack walls, heat pumps, windows, ventilation: the agent reads each website and files every contractor under its real trades.
Service area
The counties or the radius each contractor lists on its website, so you know whether it works your territory or half the state.
Automations that spot the contractor who's growing, or stuck.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps it current without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: an installer opening, a contractor that starts selling heat pumps, a week of reviews about a rebate that never came. Those are your signals.

Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the contractors on the list that post an installer, technician or energy auditor opening, with the role next to it.
New services
Every month, the agent rereads each website and flags the contractors that now advertise heat pumps, energy audits or a new kind of upgrade.
New reviews
Every week, the contractors whose new reviews pile up fastest show up first: a sign the crew is busy, and maybe short on hands.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like reviews about a rebate that never arrived: the agent reruns it every week and tells you what changed.
A campaign that works around the job site.
Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that writes each follow-up from the contractor's website and reviews. The campaign calls when the owner isn't up in an attic, and stops as soon as they reply.
Subject Closing more service jobs, first_name
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Lunch and end of day
Calls go out between noon and 1:30 pm or after 4:30 pm, Monday to Thursday, when the owner is off the job site and can actually pick up the phone.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized in the contractor's row, so the next call picks up where it ended.
Messages about the work
Every email is built from the list's columns: services, area, open role. An agent step reads the website and reviews to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as a contractor replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out. The others carry on.
Frequently asked questions
Write “insulation and air sealing contractors within 30 miles of Chicago, rated 4.5 and above”. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, reads each website to check what the contractor really installs, removes duplicates and closed businesses, and hands you the list with the rating, number of reviews, phone and website of each.
Ask for the owner's cell and email: the agent finds the owner of each contractor, verifies the email and adds the cell when there is one. The campaign then calls between noon and 1:30 pm or after 4:30 pm, when they're off the job, and leaves an email they'll read at night.
Tell the agent once: “every month, reread the websites on my list and flag the contractors that now advertise heat pumps”. The ones that change land at the top of your list with a badge, and what the website now says next to it.
An email built from the work each contractor does, a lunchtime call two days later, a follow-up the agent writes from the reviews, a last message. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, recorded and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as an owner replies.
For 400 contractors with their website read, 300 verified owner emails and about a hundred cell phones, count around €60 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Only what they show. The agent reads each website and notes the certifications and program memberships the contractor displays there. It doesn't check them against the certifying body, so if it matters for your offer, ask for proof on the first call.
