Chuck stays busy. You stay invisible.
Every week, homeowners in your metro ask their neighbors who to call when the AC quits or the furnace dies. Chuck-in-a-truck shows up in those conversations. You don't. He's not better than you. He's just there.
Single-customer pilot results. Individual results will vary.
You become the recommendation, before you walk in the door.
We watch the neighborhood conversations across your service area and surface your business — authentically and automatically — in the threads where homeowners are asking who to hire.
We're upfront about who we work with — because we won't recommend an HVAC company we wouldn't call ourselves.
Every recommendation we surface goes out to a real homeowner with a real problem. We won't put our name behind an HVAC company we don't believe in — so we only work with established, well-rated operators in markets that are big enough to matter.
FirstThread is built for established, capable, and growing HVAC operators. If you meet all three criteria below, we'd love to talk. If you don't yet — keep our card. We'll be here when you're ready.
How many HVAC conversations happened in your metro last quarter?
We'll surface the most visible Nextdoor, Facebook, and Craigslist posts from your service area in the last 90 days where homeowners asked for an HVAC company. We'll show you how many you appeared in, who responded instead, and what those jobs were likely worth.

Sample data, illustrative. Your real report is built from your actual metro.
One HVAC company per metro. Yours, permanently.
We don't sell to your competition. Ever. When you sign with FirstThread, the door closes behind you for your entire metropolitan service area — and stays closed as long as you're a customer. This isn't a sales tactic. It's how the product works.

Your metro has one slot. Claim it before your competition.
We're onboarding a small number of established HVAC companies across the US. Once your metro is taken, it's taken — and we don't reopen territories.
If we don't get you your first lead within your first 7 days, we'll give you your money back.
