HVAC Software for Contractors — Quotes, Photos, Invoices

Service calls move fast. The right HVAC software for contractors keeps field techs and office staff in sync: build a quote, convert to a work order, capture before/after photos with annotations, export a PDF report, and send an invoice with online payment — all from the same job thread. WorkFotos is a simple, mobile-first platform for residential and commercial HVAC teams.

Quotes & Work Orders Before/During/After Photos On-Image Annotations Model & Serial Tracking PDF Reports & Share Links Invoices & Stripe Payments Offline Capture

The problem HVAC contractors face on every call

Proof scattered: photos live in chats, notes in another app, and invoices elsewhere.
Slow approvals: customers can’t “see it,” so quotes stall.
Cash delays: payment isn’t tied to the same place as the evidence.

A practical HVAC contractor software fixes this by tying documentation, scheduling, and billing together. Field teams shoot and annotate once; office sends quotes and invoices using the same proof.

The HVAC workflow (fast on a phone, clear in the office)

1
Create job by address; add areas (e.g., Roof — East, Unit 204).
2
Capture “before” photos; annotate leaks, burnt contacts, clogged coils, cracked pans.
3
Build the quote (parts + labor). Reference photos in line notes for clarity.
4
Convert to work order; assign tasks and @mention teammates for handoffs.
5
Capture “after” photos and quick notes (delta-T, trap change, contactor swap).
6
Export PDF or send a private link filtered by unit/date; then invoice & get paid.

No signal on a roof or in a mechanical room? Capture offline and sync later — timestamps and structure remain intact.

Track equipment data that actually matters

WorkFotos lets you store model and serial for furnaces, condensers, air handlers, RTUs, mini-splits, and VRF fan coils. Keep filter size, unit location, and notes in the job header so they appear on quotes, work orders, invoices, and PDFs.

Field
Why it helps
System Type
Scope and parts selection (heat pump vs. gas furnace, RTU vs. split)
Model / Serial
Warranty checks, exact replacement parts
Unit Location
Dispatch clarity — roof, closet, side yard, mechanical room
Filter Size
Upsells and maintenance plans
Notes
Special access, lockbox codes, after-hours requirements

Photo documentation your customers understand

On-image annotations

Draw arrows, add text, and mark measurements. Make failures obvious without a long explanation.

Before/During/After timeline

Prove starting condition, work performed, and final result. Great for approvals, warranties, and audits.

Share links & PDFs

Send a clean, read-only link filtered by unit/date or export a branded PDF report in minutes.

Property & facility friendly

Owners and managers see unit-by-unit progress without sorting through chat threads or attachments.

Scheduling and tasks (without the bloat)

Assign tasks by address and area, set due dates, and use @mentions for handoffs. Keep PM visits, repairs, and installs flowing on a simple timeline your dispatch can follow.

From quote to paid invoice — one connected thread

Quotes that convert

Clear line items with linked photos. Customers approve faster when they can see the issue and the plan.

Invoices & online payments

Turn approved quotes into invoices and accept payments via Stripe — deposits, milestones, or T&M. (Availability may vary by region/account setup.)

Maintenance agreements & seasonal tune-ups

Create repeatable checklists for spring and fall visits, log photo proof of coil cleaning and filter changes, and share unit-by-unit reports for property managers. The same record helps justify repairs and upsells.

Quote. Document. Share. Invoice. Get paid.

HVAC software that respects fieldwork and keeps the office in the loop. One flow, fewer callbacks, faster cash.
