HVAC

No-heat emergency at 6 AM. New install at 11. Tune-up at 3.

HVAC runs hot in summer and panics in winter. Between emergencies you are bidding system replacements, coordinating crane rentals for rooftop units, and trying to keep service agreement customers happy. Paper tickets are how margin bleeds out of the business.

Jobkore runs from the phone. Quote a replacement from the attic, invoice a service call from the driveway, and collect online before the tech gets to the next stop.

An install bid is equipment, ductwork, electrical, and startup.

A new system is not one number. Equipment (condenser, coil, air handler, thermostat), ductwork modifications, electrical tie-ins, refrigerant, startup and commissioning — each priced separately. Build the estimate in sections so the homeowner sees the value and you have a document if anything runs long.

For multi-zone or commercial jobs, break each zone into its own section.

Change orders for what is in the attic.

You open the return and the existing ductwork is crushed. The plenum is undersized. The flue is illegal. Write each finding as a change order against the original estimate — scope, price, signature. The homeowner pays for it, and you do not eat the upgrade.

Deposit for equipment, draw at install, final at startup.

Heat pumps and condensers do not show up off a shelf. A deposit locks in the order. A draw covers labor and ducts when you are on-site. Final hits when the system is started, balanced, and the customer has cold (or hot) air. Pull each invoice from the same estimate so the math is clean.

Hank AI™ drafts the install bid while your tech closes up.

You ran the load calc, photographed the existing equipment and duct layout, and noted the homeowner's budget and efficiency preference. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and in seconds the estimate is laid out — equipment, ducts, electrical, startup. You put your pricing on top.

Hank never invents load calcs, rates, or margins. It organizes what you measured and specified.

Paid by card. No platform fee from us.

Send the invoice with a payment link. Stripe processes at their standard rate. Jobkore adds nothing on top. Money in your account same day, not net-30.
