The HVAC contractors to call in the off-season, and what to say.
Oxpium builds the list of HVAC and heat pump 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 HVAC contractor in your area, with what they install.
Heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, ductless, commercial rooftop units: say what equipment you care about and where. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, reads each contractor's website to see what it installs and services, and hands you one list, with no duplicates.

264 contractors install heat pumps, sorted by number of reviews.
The equipment
Heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, furnaces, boilers: the agent reads each website and keeps only the contractors who install what you're after.
Service and repair
Maintenance plans, 24/7 emergency repair, weekend calls: the agent notes what each website offers, to target the shops that run a real service side.
A rating and reviews
A minimum rating and number of reviews, like 4.6+ with at least 200 reviews around Charlotte, to target the contractors with a real customer base.
A size
A one-truck shop doesn't buy like a contractor running twenty vans: headcount comes from professional databases, in the same sentence.
The owner, or whoever runs the service side.
In a small HVAC shop, the owner buys, between two service calls. In a shop with thirty techs, dispatch and maintenance plans usually have their own manager. The agent finds one or the other, with a verified email and a cell, and reads the website for the brands installed and the plans offered.

The owner
Their name, a verified email and a cell when there is one: in a five-person shop, the owner picks the equipment, the software and the tools.
The service manager
In contractors with twenty or more employees, the agent also looks for the service manager or dispatcher who runs the techs and the maintenance plans.
Brands installed
The equipment brands each contractor puts forward on its website, so you know which distributor it already buys from before you call.
Plans on offer
Maintenance plan or club, price shown or not, priority service for members: the agent notes what the site says, to see how far each service side goes.
Automations that follow the HVAC seasons for you.
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: a technician opening, a contractor that starts installing heat pumps, a week of reviews about waiting for a repair. Those are your signals.

Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the contractors that post a service tech, install tech or comfort advisor opening, with the role next to it.
Heat pumps
Every month, the agent rereads each contractor's website and flags the ones that now advertise heat pumps or ductless systems.
Long waits
Every Monday in peak season, the contractors whose reviews from the past week complain about waiting days for a repair show up first.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like contractors that launch a maintenance club: the agent reruns it on schedule and tells you what changed.
A campaign that waits for the off-season.
Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that writes each follow-up from the contractor's website, postings and reviews. The campaign avoids the morning dispatch rush and stops as soon as the contractor replies.
Subject company's maintenance plans this fall
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Out of the dispatch rush
Mornings are for dispatching techs and Mondays for the weekend backlog: calls go out Tuesday to Thursday, around lunch or late afternoon.
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 that know HVAC
Every email is built from the list's columns: equipment, plan, 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 “HVAC contractors within 25 miles of Raleigh whose website offers heat pumps, rated 4.5 and above”. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, reads each website to keep the ones that install heat pumps, removes duplicates and closed businesses, and hands you the list with the rating, phone and website of each.
Ask for the owner, then the service or dispatch manager: the agent looks for each by job title, verifies the email and adds the cell when there is one. For dispatch software or a fleet offer, the manager is often the one who feels the problem every day.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the contractors on my list that post a technician opening”. The automation runs on its own, and the ones hiring land at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge and the role next to it.
An email built from their maintenance plans, a lunchtime call two days later, a follow-up the agent writes from the week's reviews, then a last message. Calls go out Tuesday to Thursday, never on Monday, and the sequence stops as soon as a contractor 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
In the shoulder seasons. In July and in January, they're running every truck and barely answer. Spring and early fall are calmer, and a campaign with a short lunchtime call window reaches owners before the next rush.
