For home-service pros
Get HVAC leads in Australia
HVAC requests tell you what you’re walking into before you connect: heating, cooling or ventilation, repair or new installation, the equipment in the home and roughly how old it is. A no-heat call and a planned heat pump quote look different in the preview, and you choose which ones you want.

What a HVAC lead shows you
Every {lower} request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.
Homeowners pick their equipment from a short list (gas, electric or oil furnace, boiler, heat pump or central air) and say whether the system is working at all. Age is asked for repairs, replacements and maintenance, which helps you judge whether a service call may turn into a replacement conversation.

The guide homeowners get on this site
We publish a HVAC guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.
What the guide covers
- Split systems, ducted air conditioning, evaporative cooling and gas ducted heating
- Licences an air conditioning installer must hold: ARCtick, electrical and gas
- Reading the Zoned Energy Rating Label before you choose an air conditioner
- What a split system or ducted installation actually involves
- Signs your air conditioner needs a service or a repair
- Filter cleaning, thermostat settings and what you can do between services
- An Australian service calendar: cooling before December, gas heating before June
- State discount and upgrade schemes for efficient heating and cooling
Questions it answers
- Is a reverse cycle air conditioner the same thing as a heat pump?
- Can I install a split system myself if I buy it online?
- How do I check that an air conditioning technician is licensed?
- Is evaporative cooling a good choice where I live?
- What size air conditioner do I need for my living room?
- How does LokalMatch work for heating and cooling jobs?

Licensing notes by province
These notes come from our provincial permit guides, which homeowners read before they hire. They summarize official sources and aren’t legal advice.
Victoria
Gas is its own licensed class, not something a general plumber picks up: Energy Safe Victoria tells consumers to always use a licensed gasfitter for any installation, repairs or renovations involving gas work, and the Victorian Building Authority administers the licensing and registration system for plumbers and gasfitters. The piece homeowners most often miss is the paperwork — after installing a gas appliance, the licensed gasfitter must give you a compliance certificate. Keep it: it is what obliges them to come back and fix a defective installation.

How matching works
Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.
How we rank and match pros- You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
- Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
- Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
- When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
- Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.
Invalid leads and refunds
If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:
- The contact details are wrong or don't work.
- It duplicates a lead you already received.
- It isn't a real request for work.
- It's outside the services or areas you listed.
Verification you’ll need
Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.
Contact details verified
You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.
Business registration checked
Our team reviews the registration details you provide.
Licence and insurance checked
Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.
Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.
Read how verification worksGetting set up for HVAC work
- Gas work is licensed almost everywhere our permit guides cover. Add your gas licence details during sign-up so our team can check them.
- If you service heat pumps but don’t install them, mark the installation services as not for you.
- Accept emergency timing only for the areas you can really reach. You can pause new leads whenever your schedule is full.
