Jacksonville / St. Augustine Chapter · Charter slot · Open now
The HVAC slot in the Jacksonville / St. Augustine chapter has no business seated in it. When one clears verification, references, and the chapter vote, this exact URL becomes their member page: profile, services, specials, reviews, and a quote button pointed at their phone.
Everything below is what the seat is actually worth: how leads reach you, the math on the dues, and the five steps to apply.
Reserved
No placeholder company, no stock logo, no fake reviews. The slot is empty until a business earns it, and this is the shell that becomes theirs on day one.

What the seat actually delivers
Every other seated trade has techs and reps inside homes across Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, Orange Park. When they see HVAC work, they log it, and it routes to the one business holding this slot.
Insulation → HVAC
An insulation crew in the attic finds R-11 batts and a return that's been starving the air handler for a decade. They log it with photos before they're off the ladder. Your quote lands while the homeowner is still standing in the hallway wondering why the back bedroom is always hot.
Roofing → HVAC
A roofer walking the property for a replacement estimate photographs a rusted-out 2009 condenser sitting in the side yard. One tap routes it to you with the address, the age, and the homeowner already primed for a big-ticket conversation.
Pest Control → HVAC
A pest tech under the house finds crushed and disconnected ductwork bleeding conditioned air into the dirt. Recurring-service techs are on that property four times a year, they catch it the season it happens, not three summers later.
And it runs the other way
Your installers are inside the mechanical room, the attic, and the crawlspace of every home you touch, the first to see a failing water heater, a scorched panel, a soaked subfloor, or fogged glass. Every one of those is a routed lead with your company's name on the referral fee.
The workflow
CRM agnostic. Leads land in the system you already use, and the chapter dashboard tracks every one from the moment it's spotted to the moment the referral fee settles.
01
Any chapter tech, rep, or affiliate on the property logs the opportunity from their phone in under a minute, photos, address, urgency, and homeowner consent captured at the source.
02
The chapter routes it to the one seated business in that category. You. No auction, no shared lead, no four-competitor race to call first.
03
The quote goes out while the homeowner is still thinking about the problem, with the option to attach a limited-time chapter offer to create urgency.
04
Every lead must resolve. Won with a job value, or lost with a documented reason the chapter can audit. Nothing goes dark on the dashboard.
05
Collective Trust escrows the fee and remits it company to company. Clean for the books, clean for taxes, no member chasing another member for money.
The math
Starts with typical ticket and close rates for this trade, drag the inputs to your own numbers and every figure below updates live. Not a guarantee, just a way to check whether the dues can pencil for your business.

Your numbers
Trade default for this slot: 11 per month at a 42% close rate on a $9,800 ticket.
Break-even
At $9,800 average ticket, $1,000/mo in dues is covered by a fraction of one job, about 10% of a single HVAC sale per month. Everything past that is margin, minus the referral fee your trade publishes on won jobs.
Charter membership
$1,000
per month · flat
Referral fees on won jobs are separate from dues and set by each trade as a flat amount or a percentage of invoice, within a published min and max. The capital deposit is a 12-month probationary period: refunded in full if you leave, or converted to equity shares in the chapter when you renew.
