Buying HVAC leads is four decisions and only one of them is the price. Whether the lead is exclusive, whether it is a repair or a replacement, how fast it reaches you and what happens when it is wrong all move the real cost per job further than the headline rate does. This page takes them in the order that decides the bill.
What the tiers cost
The one published HVAC table puts repair leads at $100 with an exclusive range of $80 to $120 and full replacement leads at $150 with an exclusive range of $100 to $180. In neighbouring trades where both tiers are published side by side, a lead shared with two or three contractors costs roughly half the exclusive version of the same enquiry. Applying that pattern to HVAC is an inference rather than a measurement, and this site will not present it as a price, but it is the shape a quote should be tested against.
Exclusive HVAC leads and the clock
An exclusive HVAC lead is worth most to a contractor who is slow to answer, because it removes the race entirely. A contractor whose dispatch calls back within sixty seconds already wins a good share of shared leads and is buying less by paying the premium. Work out your genuine median response time before deciding, not the one you would like to have, because that single number decides whether the exclusivity premium is insurance or waste.
HVAC sales leads against service calls
An HVAC sales lead in this market usually means somebody considering a replacement or an upgrade rather than somebody whose system has stopped. That enquiry is worth more, converts more slowly and needs a different follow-up rhythm, which is why the published table prices it half again as high. If a source cannot tell you which of the two it is selling, you are buying a mixed feed at the higher price and subsidising the cheap half of it.

Usually somebody considering a replacement or upgrade rather than an emergency repair. It is priced half again as high in the one published table because the job behind it is worth more.
