Branded estimates & invoices
Diagnostic, capacitor, refrigerant — each on its own line of a numbered estimate carrying your name, logo, and license number, sent from the attic or the truck. It reads like it came from a real shop.
Customers approve from their phone
The homeowner gets a branded link, sees the photos of the burnt contactor or the iced coil, and taps Approve — name, time, and amount logged. The fix grows once you're into the system? They approve the new total before you keep going.
Real profit, not just revenue
Parts and refrigerant carry a private "your cost" the customer never sees, so the Money tab shows what the no-cool call actually made you — not just what the ticket said.
Photos that document the work
Shoot the frozen evaporator, the burnt wire, the clean install after. Texted proof gets the repair approved fast, and the record stays on the job for next season's call.
One flow, start to paid
One job runs the whole call — estimate, approval, invoice, payment — and flips to Paid on its own the moment the balance hits zero.
Refrigerant-aware documentation
Venting refrigerant is illegal under the Clean Air Act — SideWRK won't document a vent, it documents a recover-and-repair. Your license & permit number print on every invoice. Tools and reminders, never legal advice.
From first call to "paid" in three steps
Write it up
Add the customer and the unit, then the work — the diagnostic, the part, a photo of the problem. Send the branded estimate from the roof if that's where you are.
Send it
They see the photos and the price and tap Approve from their phone. The yes is logged with the time and the amount.
Get paid
It becomes a numbered invoice with your license number printed on it. Record payment and the real profit on the call lands in Money.
What should an HVAC tech charge?
HVAC starts with a service-call or diagnostic fee, then flat-rate repairs, with installs priced by the unit. Here's how it's priced, plus free calculators to find your number.
Service-call or diagnostic fee
Most HVAC techs charge a diagnostic fee of about $80–$150 to come out, often credited toward the repair.
Flat-rate repairs
Repairs run off a flat-rate menu — capacitor, motor, refrigerant, board — so the customer approves a number before you start.
Installs and seasonal demand
System change-outs are priced by tonnage and unit, plus permits. Peak summer and winter demand, and access, move the number.
HVAC calculator
Weekend changeouts pay — if your rate covers the gauges, the refrigerant, and the drive.

HVAC FAQ
Does it track HVAC permits and inspections?
Yes. Each job has a permit panel — number, authority, status, and rough-in/final inspections with dates — and the permit number prints on the estimate and invoice.
Do I need to install anything?
No — SideWRK runs in any phone browser, nothing to download. Everything syncs to the cloud, so your phone on the job and your laptop at night see the same data.
Can I run more than one trade?
Yes — with the Multi-Trade plan every trade is unlocked and you switch between them in a tap, sharing one customer list.
What should an HVAC tech charge?
Most HVAC techs charge a diagnostic fee of about $80 to $150, then flat-rate repairs off a menu, with installs priced by tonnage and unit plus permits. Peak-season demand and access raise the number. Use the free hourly rate calculator to find your number.

Single Trade is $24/month for one trade. Multi-Trade is $39/month for every trade. Pro is $89/month for full-time operators. Every plan starts with 14 free days — no card required. You're only charged after you pick a plan. There's no permanent free tier.
