HVAC software
A service call at eight, an install quote at eleven
Two businesses share your van: the forty minute repair and the eight thousand dollar changeout. Price both where you are standing, and bill them without switching apps.
Two jobs in one van, and only one way of tracking them
Most heating and cooling outfits are two businesses wearing one uniform. One is emergency service, priced in minutes and paid in days. The other is capital equipment, quoted over a week and worth thousands.
HVAC software is what lets both run out of the same place, so the forty minute repair does not get treated as an afterthought and the changeout does not need its own spreadsheet.
StrikeHoney handles both from the phone in your pocket, with nothing to install from an app store.
- 01Service calls priced at the unit
- 02Install quotes with the upgrades as options
- 03A deposit before equipment is ordered
- 04One invoice format for both kinds of work
- 05What is installed at every address you service
The week the weather decides everything
A cold snap does not arrive with a schedule attached. It arrives with forty phone calls.
- Your personal mobile ringing from six in the morning
- Prices agreed after the repair, not before
- Changeout quotes written up whenever there is an evening
- Two systems: a service pad and a spreadsheet
- Every call on a business number, tied to a customer
- Priced and agreed standing at the furnace
- The install quoted from the basement, options included
- One way of working for both halves of the van
Built for both halves of the van
- 01
Price the repair standing at the unit
Diagnostic, part and labour come off your own saved list, so a no-heat call gets a number before you open the panel. The customer agrees to it in front of the furnace rather than after you have fixed it.
- 02
Quote the changeout with the options on it
The base unit is the line they approve. The better efficiency tier, the extra return, the surge protection go on as optional items they tick or leave. You find out which upgrade they wanted before you order equipment, not after.
- 03
Take a deposit before the equipment is ordered
Approval and deposit happen together, so a unit you had to order is paid down before it is on your account. Nobody should be holding several thousand dollars of somebody else's furnace on a verbal go-ahead.
- 04
Keep the no-heat calls off your own number
It goes to minus twenty and the phone does not stop. Those calls land on a business number and stay with the customer they came from, so your family is not answering the emergency line at supper.
The equipment is the risk
No other residential trade routinely orders thousands of dollars of hardware against a verbal yes.
Options settle the tier
Efficiency upgrades sit on the quote as lines they accept or decline, before you order anything.
Deposit before the order
The unit is part paid at approval rather than financed by you until commissioning.
The cold snap has one number
Emergency calls land on a business line and stay with the customer, not on your family's phone.
Service and install, side by side
Sound like your winter?
One or two vans doing both service and installs. No dispatcher, and no separate estimator writing up the changeouts.
- You run emergency service calls and quoted installs in the same week.
- You order equipment before the customer has paid you for it.
- Your busiest days are decided by the weather, not by a schedule.
- You want one way of invoicing whether the ticket is small or large.
Equipment and labour, taxed on the same bill
A changeout invoice puts several thousand dollars of equipment next to your hours, and the tax has to sit correctly on the whole thing. At that size a wrong rate is not a rounding error, it is a credit note.
The rate comes off your province and is applied to the invoice whether it is a diagnostic call or a full system, and the totals stay in the tax report.

| Province | Tax | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | HST | 13% |
| Alberta | GST | 5% |
| British Columbia | GST + PST | 5% + 7% |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | HST | 15% |
A separate provincial tax is opt in, because whether it lands on labour or only on materials depends on the trade. Rates checked against the Canada Revenue Agency in August 2026.
One plan. Choose how often you pay.
One changeout covers years of it, and the service calls stop leaking on day one.
- Leads, quotes, jobs and invoicing
- Your own business phone number
- GST/HST worked out by province
- Cancel any time, export any time
Before you ask
HVAC software is how a heating and cooling business prices service calls and installs, keeps track of what was done at each address, and gets paid for both. It stands in for a service pad in the van and a spreadsheet for the bigger quotes.
It handles both the same way, which is the point. A forty minute diagnostic and an eight thousand dollar changeout are the same shape here: price it, get it approved, do it, invoice it. You are not running two ways of working.
Yes. Optional lines sit on the quote and the customer accepts or declines each one. You learn which tier they actually want before you place the equipment order.
Yes. The quote can collect a deposit at the moment they approve it, credited against the final invoice, so the unit is part paid before it lands on your account.
Yes. The quote, the job, the photos and the invoice all sit on that customer, so the service call three winters later starts with what is actually in the basement.
Both. It is built for one person first. Bring someone on and they get a stripped-down view of the jobs they are on, with the money hidden.
$24/mo CAD, everything included. Pay six months ahead and it works out to $21/mo CAD; pay for the year up front and it is $19/mo CAD. Same product, less money. One plan, no tiers, no add-ons.
