HVACWorkOrders is purpose-built for HVAC contractors — with structured equipment tracking (make, model, serial, tonnage), warranty expiry alerts, and job-completion signatures included from $49/month. Jobber uses one general platform across 17+ trades (landscaping, pest control, junk removal, and more), so those HVAC-specific fields simply don’t exist in the core product.

The problem with a 17-trade platform
Jobber has to serve a junk removal crew and an HVAC company with the same job form. That works fine for scheduling. It falls apart the moment you need to track a unit's tonnage, refrigerant type, or warranty date.
Jobber lets you attach notes and checklists to a job, but there's no dedicated place to log make, model, serial number, or tonnage per unit — the fields that actually matter for HVAC service history.
Knowing a customer's warranty is about to lapse is a revenue opportunity — reach out before they call a competitor. Jobber has no built-in way to track or alert on this.
Jobber's cheapest plan, Core, is built for a single user. The moment you add a second technician, you're pushed into Connect at $199/month for a 5-user team.
QuickBooks Online sync requires Jobber's Connect plan or higher — it's not included on Core, so the real starting price for a QuickBooks-connected shop is higher than the headline number.
What it actually costs for an HVAC crew
Jobber's headline price is for one user with the most basic feature set. Here's what it costs to actually run a small HVAC crew with the tools most shops need — QuickBooks sync, job costing, and multiple techs.
Equipment tracking, warranty alerts, and digital job-completion signatures aren't upsells — they're the reason the product exists. 3 techs, every HVAC-specific feature, no per-seat math.

Common questions
Jobber is a general field service platform used across more than 17 trades, including landscaping, pest control, cleaning, and junk removal, with an HVAC-branded page layered on top. HVACWorkOrders is built only for HVAC contractors, with equipment tracking, warranty expiry alerts, and work-order-specific fields like tonnage built in from the start.
Jobber lets you attach notes, checklists, and job details to a job, but it does not have a dedicated equipment database with structured fields for make, model, serial number, tonnage, or warranty expiry alerts. HVACWorkOrders logs every unit with those fields and proactively alerts you before a warranty expires.
Jobber's Core plan is built for a single user. Adding a team requires upgrading to the Connect plan or higher, which starts significantly higher than Core's listed price. HVACWorkOrders' Essentials plan includes up to 3 users at $49/month with no per-seat upgrade required.
No. QuickBooks Online sync is not included on Jobber's Core plan — it requires upgrading to Connect or higher. HVACWorkOrders includes QuickBooks sync on the Professional plan.
