HVAC

The commercial pipeline you can't build by hand.

Merrion finds the buildings in your service area that need HVAC work — using permit data, equipment age, refrigerant compliance, and tenancy signals — and runs the outbound to land the meeting. Your sales team walks into pre-qualified conversations, not cold calls.

THE PROBLEM

Cold B2B HVAC doesn't work. You already know.

Facilities managers don't take cold calls. Property managers don't open generic outreach. The conversations that matter happen when something changes— a refrigerant deadline approaching, a 15-year-old rooftop unit nearing end of life, a new building coming online, a tenant moving in.

The contractors winning commercial HVAC right now aren't the ones knocking the most doors. They're the ones who show up at the right moment, with the right context, talking to the right person.

Merrion is how you do that at scale.

HOW IT WORKS

From signal to booked meeting. Automatically.

01

Detect — we watch every signal in your service area

Merrion continuously scans permit filings, mechanical inspections, county records, refrigerant compliance data, commercial real estate transactions, and review patterns. The moment a building enters an HVAC-relevant moment, it lands on your radar.

Today

Hi Daniel — congrats on the new role at Crescent Towers.

Noticed your building at 3401 Legacy Dr pulled a mechanical permit last week. Pulling the historical filings, the rooftop unit on the south block was installed in 2008 — past replacement window, and if it's still on R-410A you're looking at the 2026 phase-out deadline.

Worth a 15-minute call this week to sketch out replacement timing before quotes get tight in Q4?

THE SIGNAL STACK

The data you can't get from a list.

Most “commercial HVAC lead lists” are filtered ZoomInfo exports. They tell you who exists. They don't tell you what's happening. Merrion fuses public and proprietary sources to find buildings entering HVAC moments — not just buildings that exist.

Permits & filings

Real-time ingestion of building permits, mechanical permits, and code inspections from every major US metro. Filed dates, equipment specs, contractor of record, valuations.

Equipment & compliance

Match historical permit data to current refrigerant compliance deadlines (R-22 banned 2020, R-410A phasing out through 2036). Identify aging equipment running expiring refrigerants.

Tenancy & ownership

County recorder transactions, commercial real estate listings, new tenancy events. New ownership = new vendor evaluations. New tenants = new HVAC needs.

People signals

LinkedIn-sourced facilities manager and operations lead hires, plus role changes that signal vendor evaluation windows.

Building intelligence

Square footage, building age, occupancy type (office, retail, healthcare, multi-family, industrial), zoning, and recent permit history aggregated per address.

Code enforcement

Indoor air quality violations, mechanical inspection failures, and code enforcement actions that create urgency — and a clear reason to call.

USE CASES

Built for commercial HVAC operators who sell maintenance, replacement, and capital projects.

Maintenance contracts

Find buildings whose HVAC equipment is past warranty and likely off-contract. Reach the facilities manager before the existing vendor renews.

Equipment replacement

Target buildings with aging rooftop units, identified via permit history. Lead with refrigerant phase-out timelines that create real urgency.

New construction & commissioning

Catch new commercial construction permits the week they're filed. Be the first call to the property manager before the GC has selected an HVAC partner.

Multi-site operators

Serve property management companies, retail chains, restaurant groups, and healthcare networks across their entire portfolio. Merrion tracks every location and surfaces which sites enter HVAC moments first.

INBOUND

And when the phone does ring, we answer it.

Outbound brings the meetings. But when an emergency call comes in at 11pm because a chiller failed in a healthcare facility, that call gets answered too. Merrion's AI receptionist handles inbound calls 24/7, qualifies the situation, dispatches the right tech, and books the work — same platform, same data, no extra setup.

24/7 inbound answering

Every emergency and routine call qualified in seconds.

Smart dispatch

Routed by service zone, equipment type, and urgency.

After-hours booking

Confirmed appointments without a human in the loop.

Voicemail-to-ticket

Voicemails turn into tickets and SMS follow-ups automatically.
