[Schedule Demo](/schedule-call) [See pricing](/pricing) On this page - [The Truck-Roll Problem](#why) - [What It Screens](#what-it-screens) - [FAQs](#faqs) Quick Answer Home services pre-qualification screens inbound leads for financing capacity — GreenSky, Service Finance, Synchrony — so contractors only send estimators to homeowners who can actually pay for the job. - Screen before the truck rolls Estimators only visit qualified homeowners. - Program-match to lender Verdict includes which financing partner fits. - Close rate lifts Qualified leads close 2–3× the industry baseline. - CAC per install drops Fewer dead estimate visits per closed job. ## The Truck-Roll Problem The average roofing or HVAC contractor spends $150–$400 in labor and fuel per estimate visit. Industry close rate on those visits sits between 18% and 28%. The bottom half of that gap is homeowners who wanted the project but couldn't get financed. Pre-qualification kills that gap by screening for GreenSky, Service Finance, and Synchrony eligibility before the estimator is dispatched. ## What It Screens - Soft-pull FICO tier - Estimated financing capacity for the ticket size - Lender-specific eligibility (GreenSky, Service Finance, Synchrony, Sunlight) - Homeownership + property zip match ## Frequently Asked Questions - Which financing partners does pre-qualification cover? GreenSky, Service Finance, Synchrony HOME, Sunlight (solar), and Enerbank are the most common. Pre-qualification returns likelihood of approval for each without submitting a formal application. - Will homeowners feel screened? No — pre-qualification runs after form submit and returns a verdict to the contractor internally. The homeowner never sees a rejection. - What ticket size does this make sense for? Anything $3k+ where an estimate visit costs real dispatch dollars. Roofing, HVAC replacement, solar, kitchen remodel, bath remodel all clear the bar. Compliance note OmniaIQ is a lead qualification and pre-qualification platform, not a lender, credit bureau, or underwriting service. A Qualified result is informational and does not constitute a credit decision or guarantee of funding. Customers must establish a permissible purpose and capture the required consent before submitting a lead for a credit pre-qualification. OmniaIQ pre-qualifications use a soft credit inquiry that does not affect the applicant's credit score. OmniaIQ does not automatically satisfy a customer's TCPA obligations for subsequent calls, texts, or marketing outreach. ## See it on your pipeline Schedule a 30-minute demo and we'll map the pre-qualification layer to your current stack.
