Active state license, verified.
We pull the license directly from the state contractor licensing board. Expired, suspended, or under-investigation licenses fail this gate, no exceptions.
ProFusion is a homeowner platform first. The installers we match with our customers go through a six-gate vetting that we re-audit after every job. This page is here so both audiences can see what that bar actually looks like. Homeowners: this is why you can trust the match. Installers: this is what it takes to be on the list.
A single homeowner can't realistically vet a contractor. Licensing is hard to verify. Insurance lapses are invisible. Past customer reviews live across four platforms. By the time a homeowner finds out their installer wasn't who they said they were, the system is already installed and the warranty paperwork is already filed.
ProFusion exists because the matching layer in this market was broken. Homeowners were left to play forensic accountant on contractors who answered the phone first. So we built the vetting system that a homeowner would build if they had the time. Six gates, written warranty floor, manufacturer certification, a re-audit after every install. The same bar applied the same way to every installer who wants to be on the list.
This is a homeowner promise first. It also happens to be the kind of standard that good installers want to be on the right side of. The ones who care about doing the job right have nothing to hide and a lot to gain from being grouped with their peers.
If we wouldn't put an installer in our own parent's house, they don't go on the list.
Every installer on the ProFusion list cleared every one of these gates. Not a "most of the above" scorecard. A floor.
We pull the license directly from the state contractor licensing board. Expired, suspended, or under-investigation licenses fail this gate, no exceptions.
Coverage minimums set per category. We confirm the certificate, the policy dates, and the carrier. Lapsed coverage removes the installer from the list within twenty-four hours.
Two years of operating history under the current legal entity, with a verifiable trail of completed jobs. New crews can do excellent work. We just don't get to use a homeowner's house to find out.
A minimum aggregate score on Google, BBB, and one category-specific platform. Read by our team, not scraped. Negative reviews are not disqualifying on their own — how the installer responded to them is.
Solar installers carry certification from at least one tier-one panel manufacturer. Heat pump installers carry NATE or manufacturer-equivalent. Window installers carry the installation-method certification from the brand they sell.
A minimum workmanship warranty per category, stated on the installer's own letterhead and signed before the first ProFusion-matched job. Not the manufacturer warranty. The installer's own.
The bar is high on purpose. Most applications fail at a specific gate, not all six. The chart below is the actual shape of the process.
License and insurance are the floor. Once an installer clears those, the next two gates are about pattern, not paperwork — do they have a real operating history, and how have they behaved when something didn't go to plan. The final two gates are category-specific. The math is consistent across every state we cover.
A homeowner who got matched today should get the same standard as a homeowner who gets matched in a year. We hold the line by re-auditing after every install.
The vetting serves the homeowner. The structure serves the installer. The numbers below are what the same process looks like to each side.
When the Score recommends an upgrade and we match you with an installer, that installer cleared a six-gate floor and is being re-audited as we go. You can ask for the license verification, the insurance certificate, and the written warranty on letterhead before the truck is scheduled. We will hand you all three.

The conversation in the living room is about the install, not about whether the project pencils. The pre-work is done.
See the applicationIf you're an installer thinking about applying, the process below is what the next two-to-four weeks look like. No interview gauntlet. No sales-style courtship. Documentation, a reference call, and a candid conversation about how you run your jobs.
License copy, insurance certificate, three customer references, two recent job addresses, and the workmanship warranty draft. The form takes about thirty minutes if you have your paperwork in hand.
Five to ten business days. Licensing board check, insurance carrier confirmation, review-platform read, manufacturer-certification confirmation, two reference calls. We'll let you know what we found, whether or not it cleared.
One call with our installer-operations team. We talk through how you scope, how you sequence, how you handle change orders, how you stand behind work after the system is energized. This is the part that no document captures.
If your operation already operates at this standard, applying takes about thirty minutes. We respond to every application, accepted or not. The companies we don't accept get a written reason and an open invitation to re-apply once the gap closes.
If you're a homeowner thinking about an upgrade, the standard above is the floor for who shows up at your door. Drop your address. We'll read the house, pull the rebate stack, and match you with installers who earned the spot — and keep earning it.
