Software guide · HVAC contractors
Compare HVAC software by equipment history, dispatch changes, estimate-to-invoice handoff and recurring agreement visits. ServiceTitan, Jobber and Housecall Pro document field-service workflows to investigate. Price the plans, required modules, implementation and payment terms for your team before comparing monthly fees.
HVAC work moves from customer and equipment history to diagnosis, estimate, parts, field work and invoice. Maintenance agreements add future visits and renewal obligations. Test the complete chain with a routine call and a repair that changes scope.
The cost case · HVAC contractors
Start with the bill and one costly workflow. The comparison is straightforward: recurring software costs you can actually remove, minus the hosting, AI, integrations and upkeep a replacement needs. Time saved is a separate gain, and only becomes margin when the business can use it.
Current software · researched prices
HVAC contractors software runs $29 to $627 a month across the 7 vendors that publish prices. 56 of 106 vendors have quote-only pricing in our research.
Published starting prices are not a like-for-like quote. Confirm the plans, seats, add-ons, payment fees and setup your workflow requires.
A focused tool · under your control
One time: map the rules, build, test edge cases, move only the data needed and train the people who use it.
Each month: affordable hosting, coding-AI usage, any database or integrations, backups and maintenance. Price these for the actual application; a $0 or low hosting tier is not the total cost.
You control: the code repository, domain, data and service accounts. Someone on your side owns updates, access, recovery and support.
The exact replacement cost depends on scope and usage. Bring your invoice and one frustrating task; we’ll map what can stay, what could be owned and the costs to verify.

A practical buying brief
Use these questions with a vendor or a builder. The point is to see your own work completed, including the awkward cases.
| What matters | Ask this | Then demonstrate this |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment record | Does a technician see the right unit, prior work, warranty and site instructions? | Create two sites and units, then open one job in the technician view and inspect its equipment history. |
| Dispatch change | When a technician or appointment window changes, which records and people update? | Reassign a call; check board, field view, customer message and change history. |
| Estimate to invoice | Do approved options, labor, parts and authorization follow through? | Prepare two repair options, accept one, add a field part and compare scope, cost and invoice. |
| Agreement obligations | Can staff see due visits, completed work, billing and renewal status? | Complete one visit on a sample agreement and reschedule another; inspect balance, schedule and renewal report. |

Your demo script
Use dummy customer/equipment records and ask dispatch, field and billing staff to follow one job.
Request customers, service locations, equipment identifiers/history, notes, estimates, work orders, invoices, parts, active agreements and future visits. Check whether serial numbers, warranties, attachments and entitlements remain linked. Reconcile open calls, unbilled work and due visits; define the overlap process and retain a readable archive for older records.
A custom project could join website requests to the dispatcher’s existing system. Do not replace equipment records, field execution, payments or maintenance billing until a full job passes mobile, accounting, failure and support tests.

Where the money goes
The field service platform is the big line, and it's often priced per technician. The contracts are where it sticks: ServiceTitan's terms make all remaining payments due if you leave early, FieldEdge's Xplor terms renew for 12 months unless you give 60 days' notice, and Workiz renews for 12-month terms by default. The website is usually a separate purchase, from Tradify's $12 add-on up to Online Access at $659 a month plus a $995 start-up fee.
Keep dispatch, the price book your techs quote from, and card processing. Load calculation tools like Wrightsoft or Rhvac are engineering software you license, not something to rebuild.
Ask providers to demonstrate this workflow using your edge cases. Check which plan includes each step, what costs extra and how your records can be exported.

Questions owners ask
Compare your actual user and location counts, modules, payments, implementation, agreement workflows and contract terms. Request a complete quote for the configuration you need.
Only if the supported connection applies your dispatch rules and captures enough detail. Test emergency calls, service areas, duplicate requests and unavailable slots; otherwise route the enquiry for staff review.
For a small repair team, test the job from call booking to technician notes, estimate, payment and follow-up. If you sell maintenance agreements, add scheduled visits, entitlements, completed-visit history and renewal handling. Include technician, dispatcher and billing roles in the demo.
Map each agreement to the correct customer and equipment, including terms, next service due, visits remaining, billing status and renewal/expiry date. Reconcile open estimates and active memberships against source reports before switching.
ServiceTitan doesn't publish prices; all three packages are quoted on request, per technician. Its terms make all remaining payments due if you end the agreement early, and renewal is automatic unless you give 30 days' written notice.
Not in the base plans. Websites are a separate add-on with no price on the pricing page, and using your existing domain may mean transferring its management to Housecall Pro. The plans themselves list at $79, $189 and $329 a month.
Not without paying. The Xplor terms FieldEdge points to charge the monthly fees times the months left in the term, and renew for 12-month periods unless you give written notice at least 60 days before the period ends.
