Start and run an HVAC business
The first hot week of summer decides your year. Have the company, the licence checklist and the booking site ready before it lands.
What slows HVAC contractors down
- State mechanical licences and refrigerant rules to keep straight
- Seasonal rushes that bury the phone
- Maintenance-plan customers tracked on paper
- Replacement quotes that take an evening to write
What Service Boss handles
Your HVAC licence checklist
HVAC and your state, set out item by item with the body that issues each one - confirmed against their own pages, never guessed.
Maintenance-plan customers in one list
Every customer, their system and their next visit in the CRM, with appointments and reminders - so spring tune-ups book themselves.
Replacement quotes in minutes
Unit, line set, labour and permit as lines with tax worked out, sent as a quote and turned into the invoice when they say yes.
Found when the AC quits
A website and Google Business Profile built for you for $499, live in 7 days, ready for "AC repair near me".
Jobs you can quote and invoice
- System replacement
- AC repair
- Maintenance plans
- Load calculation
- Ductwork
How it goes
A tech who has run installs for ten years forms an LLC in April, checks his state's mechanical licence and bond, and has 40 maintenance customers in the CRM by June.
Requirements research, not legal advice. Rules can differ by city and county; every item we give you names the authority that issues it.
