Sell HVAC Data

AI companies now license the records an HVAC business already keeps: service histories, dispatch notes, estimates and equipment files. You keep the business and the data. We tell you which buyers would take a company your size.

  • Service histories
  • Dispatch notes
  • Estimates
  • Equipment records
  • Maintenance plans
  • $150,000per HVAC firm, as reported by The Information in 2026
  • $100K to $3M+micro1’s published range for company data
  • $10K to $1M+Scale AI’s illustrative range per partnership
  • 30 daysfor micro1 to pay in full once data is accepted

Figures as each company publishes them, plus one press report. Not offers.

One closed job, as a buyer would see it

The complaint, what the tech found, what was fixed and whether the unit came back. Multiply that by every visit on every system for ten years and you have what a buyer is paying for.

  • The customer is gone before anything leaves your systems
  • The work itself stays: unit, fault, diagnosis, parts, time
  • A 30-day callback flag shows whether the fix held

An invented example, not a real customer record.

The rest of the file cabinet

Service histories lead, but most of what sits in your field service software has a buyer. The longer and more consistent the history, the better.

Dispatch notes

Priority, skill match, drive time, reschedules and the notes the dispatcher left for the tech.

Dispatch board and booking notes

Estimates and proposals

Good, better, best options with what was sold and what was declined: how pricing gets decided in the field.

Estimate modules, pricebook history

Equipment records

Make, model, tonnage, install date, refrigerant and warranty, with the service trail on each unit.

Asset records per location

Maintenance agreements

Plan types, visit schedules, renewals and lapses. Years of evidence on which customers stay.

Membership modules

Call logs

Why people called and what got booked. The log of the call, not the audio.

Phone system exports

Procedures and checklists

Startup and tune-up checklists, training guides and office procedures, written by people who do the work rather than by a vendor.

Shared drives, binders, training folders

Where your headcount lands

Nobody prices a service ticket. Buyers publish who they will talk to, so the first question is which floors you clear. Office staff on your payroll count too.

Work out which published tiers fit your company

Four buyers with terms in print

Each one publishes its entry rules and pay on its own site. Dollar ranges are what each advertises to companies in general, not a price for your shop.

A note on money: micro1 and Scale AI both reward the person who introduces a company that later signs, so we could be paid by either if you sign. The order of this list and our description of each buyer are the same either way.

Sell HVAC Data stands apart from every company named here: none of them owns it, funds it or vouches for it.

The full comparison: privacy, payment timing and ownership

Route one

Paid once, in full

micro1 promises the whole amount inside 30 days of acceptance, and says the underlying data stays yours.

Route two

A fee at signing, then a share

Labelbox Prism pays when the license is signed, then shares downstream revenue. Its licenses are exclusive by default.

At Scale AI, the more often you deliver, the more a partnership is worth.

What never leaves the shop

A buyer pays for patterns in the work. None of this helps with that, and all of it carries risk for you.

  • Customer names, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses
  • Card numbers, bank details and customer financing paperwork
  • Technicians’ pay, reviews, licenses and background checks
  • Call audio and photos inside customers’ homes, unless asked for separately with consent
  • Drawings and project documents a building owner or general contractor owns

Customer privacy when you license records

Three things that catch owners out

Whose records they are

A license covers only what is yours to license. Records kept for a commercial client, or documents a general contractor owns under contract, are not.

Your software agreement

Some field service subscriptions limit bulk exports or what you do with exported data. Read it first.

Your customers

Strip personal details yourself, even though buyers de-identify too. An estimate is never an offer.

From first call to payment

Five stages. Have your own lawyer read the license before you sign. Our side costs you nothing. How we work.

  1. Screening call

    Headcount, years trading, which software you run and roughly how many jobs a year go through it.

  2. Scoping

    Agree which records and years are in. Labelbox Prism scopes free, then gives a first valuation.

  3. De-identification

    Scale AI scrubs on your own systems; micro1 lets you look over sample records after its cleanup.

  4. The license

    What the buyer may do with the copy, whether it is exclusive, and how acceptance works.

  5. Transfer and pay

    Data is delivered and accepted, then paid on the buyer’s terms.

Questions HVAC owners ask

Can I sell my HVAC company’s data to AI companies?

Most established shops can, provided the business is big enough and the records are yours. Buyers license a de-identified copy of service histories, dispatch notes, estimates and equipment records. Most publish a size floor: 20 W-2 employees at Nyne, 30 full-time at micro1, and 40 is where Scale AI prefers to start. What counts as data goes record by record.

How much is my HVAC company’s data worth to AI companies?

No buyer prints a price for HVAC records as such. Advertised company ranges begin near $10K at Scale AI and $100K at micro1 and Nyne, and The Information reported in 2026 that data labeling startups were paying HVAC firms about $150,000. Treat those as ceilings to aim at, not offers. See which published tiers fit your size.

Who is buying HVAC company data?

Four buyers publish enough to compare: Nyne, micro1, Scale AI and Labelbox Prism. Each licenses operational records from established companies. The full comparison covers privacy, payment timing and ownership.

Why are AI companies paying HVAC companies for data?

Years of service tickets, dispatch notes and estimates show how real jobs get diagnosed, priced and closed. That working history of a trade is what the models are short of, and it only exists inside companies that keep good records.

Do I own my data, or does my field service software company?

Usually you, but read your subscription agreement before you sign anything. Some field service contracts limit bulk exports or what you may do with exported data. Exporting from field service software covers what to check.

Can I sell my data without selling my HVAC business?

Yes. A buyer licenses a de-identified copy, so the business and the records stay yours, and micro1’s page says the underlying data remains the company’s. Read any exclusivity terms closely: Labelbox Prism licenses are exclusive by default.

Is it legal to sell data that includes my customers?

Strip customer names, addresses and payment details before anything leaves your systems. Every buyer listed here de-identifies as well, and if a deal needs anything personal, the contract and the law both have to permit it. A lawyer of your own should read any agreement. More on customer privacy.

It takes three screens: your company ZIP code, an address for our reply, then six optional questions about the records you keep. Our reply names the buyers whose published entry rules a company like yours meets, and you choose what, if anything, happens after that.

Keep your records to yourself: no exports, job tickets, screenshots or samples belong in this form. We have no use for them and will not accept them.

Sell HVAC Data makes introductions. A buyer you go on to sign with may pay us for having introduced you.
