| Who gets each job | Local installers who do that job type see it, and the first to take it gets the details | Homeowners are invited to request a quote from all matching businesses |
| How you pay | Per job: installer pricing | Monthly memberships with unlimited quotes, and no pay per lead or commissions, it says |
| Who may contact the homeowner | Only the installer who took the job | Paying businesses whose industry and area settings match the job listing, under its terms |
| Licence | We look up each technician's ARC licence, and the state licence on the register | Its "Licenced" badge means the business listed a licence or qualification, shown on its profile |
| Insurance | We see a current public liability certificate | Its insurance badge says ServiceSeeking has verified the business holds valid public liability insurance |
How many businesses can a homeowner reach?
On 28 October 2026, ServiceSeeking's Melbourne air conditioner installation page showed 57 matching businesses and invited homeowners to request a quote from all of them. ServiceSeeking also says its service sends homeowners the most quotes of any of its competitors. That's its own claim, and we haven't tested it.
For a homeowner who wants plenty of quotes, that's the point. For an installer, it means your quote can land beside a lot of others.
Where do the two models differ?
With a ServiceSeeking membership, you choose which jobs to quote on, with no charge per lead, it says. With us, you take the jobs you want from the ones you see, the homeowner's details go only to the business that takes each one, and you pay per job at installer pricing.
Neither suits everyone. If you like quoting on volume and picking your own jobs, a membership may fit. If you'd rather have jobs in the work you specialise in, where the homeowner's details reach you and no other installer, that's what we're building.
We're new, with no installers, reviews or results to show yet, and that's worth weighing too.
What do the badges say?
ServiceSeeking's own wording says its Licenced badge reflects a licence or qualification the business listed, while its insurance badge is the one it describes as verified. For heating and cooling, the ARC licence and the RTA matter on every job, and the licences we check shows exactly what we look up.
What we'd do
Our take
Choose by the work you want more of. If it's volume and choice, a quote-on-anything membership is built for that. If it's one homeowner at a time in your specialty, try us when your area opens, and judge us on jobs won rather than on this page.
