HVAC contractors quoting FAQ

What is the best quoting software for HVAC contractors?

+

The best HVAC quoting software is the one you can use on the truck between calls. TradeShield is phone-first with Lead Tech and Helper rates baked in, equipment and materials with automatic markup, and a customer-safe share link that hides your cost and margin.

Can I quote installs, service calls, and maintenance in one app?

+

Yes. New installs, system replacements, mini-splits, ductwork, service calls, and PM agreements all run through the same flow — set hours per role, add equipment and materials, send for signature.

Will my customer see my equipment markup?

+

Never. The customer view only shows the sell price and scope. Cost, markup, and gross margin live only in your contractor view and the Insights tab.

How do I handle change orders when a system needs more than quoted?

+

From the locked job, tap Change Order, price the extra work using the same builder, and send it. Both parties sign before the change is added to the job total — no more eating the cost of surprises.

Does it support after-hours and emergency rates?

+

Yes. Edit the hourly rate per role on any quote, or save an emergency rate template you reuse for after-hours calls.

Is it really free?

+

Yes. TradeShield is free while we're in beta — no credit card, no trial expiry, no login required to start.
