Contractor partner channel

Reach homeowners while rebates are shaping the project.

Rebate Caddy helps contractors, installers, and home-service companies that can help homeowners make rebate-aware decisions before a quote, deposit, permit, or installation date locks them in.

Partner paths

Rebate Caddy separates disclosed partner placement from future consent-based lead routing so homeowners are not misled and partners know what they are buying.

Download screening fields

City/category partner placement

Reserve visibility on relevant market pages for a defined city, category, and service area after fit review.

Rebate-aware positioning

Show up where homeowners are already checking incentives, paperwork, utility rules, and quote questions.

Future lead routing

Lead routing stays consent-based and only opens after secure forms, screening, and fulfillment controls are live.

Who should apply

  • HVAC, heat pump, solar, battery, EV charger, insulation, windows, roofing, plumbing, water, and weatherization companies.
  • Teams that can explain equipment eligibility, pre-approval timing, invoices, permits, photos, and model-number documentation.
  • Local teams with a clear service area, review footprint, response window, and capacity to handle rebate-aware inquiries.

Who should wait

  • Companies that want guaranteed leads before there is enough traffic and consented routing data.
  • Partners that cannot document service area, license or registration status, insurance status, and review links.
  • Advertisers who want undisclosed preferred placement or rebate/savings promises Rebate Caddy cannot make.
