American-owned & operated
An American company, matching you with local American businesses
Plenty of sites put a flag in the footer. Here is what ours actually means — stated precisely enough that you can check it.
What we are claiming
The company is American-owned and operated
HVACQuoteConnect is operated by Home Front Pros LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, from Erie, PA 16502. That is a registered entity you can look up in the Pennsylvania Department of State's business search — we publish the name and address on every legal page precisely so it can be verified.

The contractors we match you with are local U.S. businesses
We only operate in the United States, and we only match homeowners to contractors serving U.S. ZIP codes. The pro who contacts you is an independent business working in your area and licensed to work in your state — not a call center, and not us.
Your money stays with a business in your state
You pay the contractor directly. We are paid a fee by that contractor for the introduction — never by you. So the project spend goes to a local business, in your jurisdiction, that you can hold accountable there. More on how we are paid is on the about page.
What we are not claiming
This is the part most sites leave out. These are claims we cannot substantiate, so we do not make them.
- Not "Made in USA" products. We are a matching service, not a manufacturer. Air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps and mini-splits are sourced by each contractor from whichever manufacturer they use, and many components are produced abroad. If product origin matters to you, ask the contractor directly and get it in writing on the quote.
- Not a claim about who owns each contractor. We verify that contractors are licensed and serve your area. We do not audit their ownership, so we will not tell you every one is American-owned.
- Not a claim about who performs the labor. Crews are hired by the contractor, not by us.
- Not a government program. We are a private company. Nothing here is a federal, state or utility rebate, grant or benefit, and we are not affiliated with any agency.
How to check a contractor yourself
"Licensed and insured" is only worth what you can verify. Before you sign anything, this is the five-minute version:
- Ask for the license number and the name it is held under. It should match the business on the quote. A license in someone else's name is a red flag.
- Check it with your state. Most states run a free contractor license lookup. Search "[your state] contractor license lookup" and use the official state site — not a directory.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance (COI) sent directly from their insurer. You want general liability and workers' compensation. A COI forwarded by the contractor can be out of date; one sent by the carrier cannot.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it, that usually means they cannot — and it moves liability onto you.
- Get the whole scope in writing before any deposit. Materials, brand, quantity, tear-off, disposal, timeline and warranty. Compare quotes on scope, not just the number at the bottom.
We do not perform this verification for you and we do not warrant any contractor's work — see our Terms. The checks above are yours to make, and they are worth the five minutes.
