When we think about a typical HVAC company, we basically think of their service, their preventative maintenance work, keeping coolant levels and tracking coolant that they take out, typical field service, break and fix type activity.
The reality is, many of the HVAC companies achieve that service work because they’ve sold the larger installation to put the equipment in or on the building. Those become sizable projects that almost require a construction-level job costing system to manage the deployment of that activity. It also generally means it’s the same pool of resources that perform field service as it is the people that do the large-scale installations and construction-based work.
Fully Integrated HVAC Field Service Software
So consequently, it becomes critical that the project costing system is fully integrated into the field service management application so that you can schedule, collect time, manage inventory, gather expenses and collect work and meet your payroll requirements based on work being performed on HVAC field service work orders, preventative maintenance calls as well as project-based construction and installation work.
