Change-outs, mini-splits, that no-cool call on the hottest day. SideWRK estimates it, tracks the permit and inspection, puts your license & permit number on the invoice, and shows your real profit on every job.
Tap a screen to open the live hvac demo — the whole app, loaded with a sample business. No signup, nothing to install.
Diagnostic, capacitor, refrigerant — each on its own line of a numbered estimate carrying your name, logo, and license number, sent from the attic or the truck. It reads like it came from a real shop.
The homeowner gets a branded link, sees the photos of the burnt contactor or the iced coil, and taps Approve — name, time, and amount logged. The fix grows once you're into the system? They approve the new total before you keep going.
Parts and refrigerant carry a private "your cost" the customer never sees, so the Money tab shows what the no-cool call actually made you — not just what the ticket said.
Shoot the frozen evaporator, the burnt wire, the clean install after. Texted proof gets the repair approved fast, and the record stays on the job for next season's call.
One job runs the whole call — estimate, approval, invoice, payment — and flips to Paid on its own the moment the balance hits zero.
Venting refrigerant is illegal under the Clean Air Act — SideWRK won't document a vent, it documents a recover-and-repair. Your license & permit number print on every invoice. Tools and reminders, never legal advice.
Add the customer and the unit, then the work — the diagnostic, the part, a photo of the problem. Send the branded estimate from the roof if that's where you are.
They see the photos and the price and tap Approve from their phone. The yes is logged with the time and the amount.
It becomes a numbered invoice with your license number printed on it. Record payment and the real profit on the call lands in Money.
HVAC starts with a service-call or diagnostic fee, then flat-rate repairs, with installs priced by the unit. Here's how it's priced, plus free calculators to find your number.
Most HVAC techs charge a diagnostic fee of about $80–$150 to come out, often credited toward the repair.
Repairs run off a flat-rate menu — capacitor, motor, refrigerant, board — so the customer approves a number before you start.
System change-outs are priced by tonnage and unit, plus permits. Peak summer and winter demand, and access, move the number.
Weekend changeouts pay — if your rate covers the gauges, the refrigerant, and the drive.
