How It Works

1. Search Google Maps — The actor searches Google Maps for your selected HVAC business type in your target location.
2. Extract listing data — Business name, phone, address, website, rating, hours, and coordinates are extracted from each listing.
3. Enrich from website — The actor visits each HVAC contractor's website and scans contact, about, and service pages to extract emails, social links, detected HVAC services, and 24/7 emergency service availability.
4. Verify email deliverability — Each extracted email is checked via DNS MX lookup and SMTP handshake to confirm the mailbox exists and can receive mail.
5. Format and export — Leads are formatted for your chosen output (Full, HubSpot, or Salesforce) and saved to the Apify dataset, downloadable as CSV, JSON, or Excel.

FAQ

Why are some email fields null? Not every HVAC contractor publishes an email on their website — many rely on phone contact or contact forms. The email field is null when no email was found. The enrichEmails option must be enabled (it's on by default).

How does email verification work? The actor performs a DNS MX lookup on the email's domain to find the mail server, then opens an SMTP connection and issues a RCPT TO command to check if the mailbox exists — without sending any message. Status smtp_verified means the mailbox accepted the recipient; dns_only means the domain has mail records but SMTP was not probed; unverified means the mailbox was rejected.

Can I search multiple cities at once? This actor searches one location per run. For multi-city coverage, run the actor once per location and merge the datasets. You can schedule multiple runs via the Apify Scheduler.

What HVAC business types are supported? HVAC Company, AC Repair Service, Heating Contractor, Air Conditioning Contractor, Furnace Repair Service, Duct Cleaning Service, Commercial HVAC Contractor, Refrigeration Service, Indoor Air Quality Company, and Custom (any Google Maps query).

Does it work outside the USA? Yes — the actor searches Google Maps globally. Enter any city worldwide in the location field. However, it's optimized for US-based HVAC contractor websites (English content, US phone formats).

How does the 24/7 emergency service detection work? The actor scans each contractor's website for phrases like "24/7 emergency service", "emergency HVAC repair", "emergency service available". The emergency_service field is true when detected, null when not found.

Technical Details

• Crawler: PlaywrightCrawler (headless Chromium) for Google Maps + contractor websites
• Proxy: Apify residential proxies by default; custom HTTP proxy supported via proxyUrl
• Email verification: DNS MX lookup + SMTP RCPT TO handshake (port 25, 8s timeout)
• Deduplication: By business name within each run
• Resource blocking: Images, media, fonts, and analytics scripts are blocked for faster crawling
• Session pool: 5 concurrent sessions with automatic rotation
• Anti-bot: Randomized viewport, consent cookie injection, stealth browser args
• HVAC service detection: Pattern matching against 17 known HVAC service categories
• Emergency service detection: Regex-based detection of 24/7 emergency service language

Limitations

• Google Maps caps at ~120 results per search — use multiple locations for larger datasets.
• Email extraction depends on the contractor having a website with contact information.
• SMTP verification may be blocked by some mail servers (returns unknown status).
• Google Maps CSS selectors can change — the actor uses multiple fallback selectors.
• HVAC service detection is based on website content and may miss services not listed online.
• The review_count field is null in the search results list view (only available on the detail page).

What is HVAC Leads Scraper?

HVAC Leads Scraper turns the target data into structured, reusable results on Apify. Use it when you need repeatable collection for sales teams, agencies, recruiters, market researchers, and data-enrichment workflows without maintaining a custom scraper or one-off integration. Run it manually, schedule recurring jobs, call it through the Apify API, or connect it to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

The Actor stores results in an Apify dataset, where they can be previewed and exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS. Availability and completeness depend on the source, supplied inputs, public visibility, authentication requirements, and upstream rate limits.

Use cases for HVAC Leads Scraper

• Build structured datasets for research, reporting, enrichment, or monitoring.
• Automate repetitive collection with schedules, webhooks, and API calls.
• Feed clean records into spreadsheets, databases, CRMs, BI tools, AI agents, or RAG pipelines.
• Track changes over time by running the same validated input on a schedule.
• Replace fragile manual copy-and-paste work with a reproducible Apify workflow.

How to use HVAC Leads Scraper

1. Open the Actor input page and choose a focused, valid target.
2. Set a conservative result limit for the first run.
3. Start the Actor and inspect the dataset for coverage and field availability.
4. Export the results or connect the dataset to your downstream system.
5. Scale gradually and use scheduling, pagination, or proxies when supported.

Frequently asked questions

How many results can I scrape with HVAC Leads Scraper?

The practical total depends on the source, input limits, pagination, available records, run timeout, and upstream restrictions. Start with a small run, verify the output, and increase the limit gradually.

Can I integrate HVAC Leads Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Use Apify integrations, webhooks, schedules, dataset exports, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, cloud storage, or your own application.

Can I use HVAC Leads Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. Start runs with the Apify REST API or an official Apify client, then retrieve records from the run's default dataset. Keep your API token in a secret or environment variable.

Can I use HVAC Leads Scraper through an MCP Server?
