02What an HVAC lead carries
01

Street address

of the job site, as the City recorded it.

02

Scope

furnaces, condensers, mini-splits and ductwork — and the rest of it, in the City's own words.

03

Valuation

where the City captured one, so you can size the job before you drive out.

04

Permit number

quote it to SD Development Services. A map link and a street view come with it.

Filed by an individual, at one property, with no contractor named on the permit. We drop every company holder and every holder who turns up at more than one address — that is what removes the permit runners as well as the contractors.

The words we match

Read out of the filter itself, so this list cannot drift from what the feed actually does. They are matched as plain text against the scope and permit type the City recorded, which is why the stems are stems.

04Against a paid lead

A month here costs about what one Angi lead costs.

Angi & Thumbtack

  • The average Angi pro pays about $401 a month in lead fees alone — nearer $618 all in
  • That works out at $29.07 an Angi lead. Neither company publishes a rate card
  • Billed per lead, so your busiest month is your most expensive one
  • It is a form fill: 1,879 BBB complaints against Angi Inc in three years, 921 against Thumbtack

Groundwork

  • $39/mo flat — under a tenth of that $401, and it does not move when the week is busy
  • No per-lead charge, no membership fee, no contract
  • Every qualifying job for your trade and region — you decide which are worth bidding
  • It is a building permit with no contractor named on it — filed, dated and verifiable by number

Angi figures here are our own arithmetic on Angi Inc's annual filing (Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025), not prices Angi quotes — Angi publishes no rate card. US Lead revenue $587.05M ÷ 20,195,000 Leads = $29.07 a lead; ÷ 122,000 average monthly active pros = about $401 a month per pro on leads, $618 counting all of Angi's US revenue per pro. BBB complaint counts read 12 August 2026.
