US Contractor Leads — Electricians, Plumbers & HVAC (License-Verified)

$0.004 per lead · license-verified from official state boards · active licensees only · opt-in email & phone enrichment

Generate license-verified contractor leads — electricians, plumbers and HVAC/AC contractors — straight from official US state licensing boards. Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina and California are live today, in a single run. Pick your states, the trades you want and a county or city; get one clean row per active licensee with business name, license number, status, expiry, address, phone and (opt-in, plus the board's own email where published) a business email. One actor covers many states through a per-state adapter, so you never juggle a separate scraper per state.

Why use this scraper

• License-verified, not a directory dump. Every lead comes from the state board's own record — real license number, current status and expiry — so you are contacting contractors who are actually licensed and active.
• Active licensees only. Void, expired and delinquent records are filtered out by default; you pay for usable leads, not dead rows.
• Three trades, four states, one run. Electricians, plumbers and HVAC across FL, LA, NC and CA in a single job, filtered by county (FL, CA) or city (LA, NC).
• Phone on the record + opt-in email enrichment. Most boards publish a phone; Louisiana also publishes a contact email. Turn on enrichment and the actor finds each contractor's website and harvests a business email — the detail most boards don't publish.
• One actor, many states. A per-state adapter design means new states light up here instead of as yet another separate actor to manage.

Supported inputs

Input	Example	Notes
State	FL, LA, NC, CA	See the coverage matrix below; any combination
Trade	electrician, plumber, hvac	Any combination; empty = all three
County	Miami-Dade, Los Angeles	FL & CA — matched against the board's county list; empty = statewide
City	Charlotte, Baton Rouge	LA/NC: exact-match board city search. FL/CA: filters the licensee address/export by city (FL needs Fetch full details)

State coverage

State	Status	Notes
Florida (FL)	✅ Live	DBPR — electricians, plumbers, HVAC by county
Louisiana (LA)	✅ Live	LSLBC — a general-contractor board, so trades are matched by business name; each record includes a board-published contact email. Searched by city
North Carolina (NC)	✅ Live	NCBEEC (electrical) + NCPHFSC (plumbing & heating) — full trade classifications, searched by city
California (CA)	✅ Live	CSLB Data Portal — electricians (C-10), plumbers (C-36), HVAC (C-20) by county/city; rows include phone
Ohio (OH)	🛠 Coming soon	OCILB eLicense is a Salesforce app; adapter in progress
New York (NY)	⛔ Municipal	These trades are licensed by cities (e.g. NYC DOB), not a state board
Pennsylvania (PA)	⛔ Municipal	Licensed municipally; only home-improvement contractors register statewide

Requesting a not-yet-live state logs the reason and is skipped — the run never silently returns nothing.

Use cases

• Build a call/email list of licensed electricians, plumbers or HVAC contractors in a target county.
• Supplier & manufacturer outreach to verified trade businesses.
• Recruiting and subcontractor sourcing from a pool of active license holders.
• Market sizing — how many active plumbing contractors operate in each county.
• Insurance, fintech and SaaS lead-gen aimed at licensed trades.

How it works

1. Choose a state, trades and (optionally) counties or cities.
2. Query the board — the state adapter drives the board's public search over plain HTTP (no browser) — a license-type/county search in FL, a city sweep in LA and NC, a statewide classification export in CA — pages through every active licensee and reads the license record.
3. Enrich (opt-in) — for each contractor the actor discovers the business website and scrapes a business email and phone, then writes one row per lead.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.004 per contractor lead written to the dataset. Only active, license-verified rows are produced, so you are not billed for void or expired records. Bound spend with maxItems.

FAQ

Does it need a browser or proxy? No browser — the state boards are scraped over plain HTTP. A US residential proxy is recommended for reliable scale.

Are the leads really licensed? Yes — every row is a live record from the state licensing board, with the license number, status and expiry. Only active licensees are returned.

Where do phone and email come from? LA, NC and CA publish a business phone on the record, and Louisiana also publishes a contact email (Florida publishes neither). For emails elsewhere, turn on Enrich emails and the actor finds the contractor's own website and harvests a business email from it.

Which states work today? Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina and California are live. Ohio is in progress. New York and Pennsylvania license these trades at the city level, so there is no state board to enumerate — see the coverage matrix.

Can I filter by city? Yes, with Fetch full details on (the city comes from each licensee's address). County filtering works without it.

How many leads can I get? Florida alone has thousands of active licensees per trade per county (e.g. ~4,000 electricians in Broward). Louisiana and North Carolina add statewide city sweeps across hundreds of municipalities, and California's CSLB export lists ~28,000 electricians (C-10), ~17,000 plumbers (C-36) and ~12,000 HVAC contractors (C-20). Use maxItems to control volume and cost.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Turn a state + trade + county into a list of license-verified contractor leads (business, license number, status, address, opt-in email/phone). Browser-free, one row per active licensee.

Minimal input (tested):

{ "states": ["FL"], "trades": ["electrician"], "counties": ["Miami-Dade"], "maxItems": 50 }

Output fields (flat): state, trade, licenseType, businessName, ownerName, licenseNumber, licenseStatus, licenseIssuedDate, licenseExpiryDate, address, city, county, stateRegion, zip, phone, website, email, additionalEmails[], emailSource, sourceUrl, scrapedAt.

Behaviors agents should know:

• Live states are FL, LA, NC, CA. Requesting a pending/municipal state logs the reason and is skipped (check the coverage matrix).
• Only active licensees are emitted; void/expired are filtered.
• phone is on the record for LA/NC/CA (FL is the exception — enrich for it). email is board-published for LA; for FL/NC/CA set enrichEmails: true. website needs enrichEmails: true.
• LA is a general-contractor board, so its electrician/plumber/hvac split is inferred from the business name.
• Billing is per lead row (contractor-lead, $0.004). Bound with maxItems.
