HVAC contractor software gives heating and cooling companies one platform for managing service calls, equipment installs, maintenance agreements, technician schedules, and billing, without juggling separate apps for each. Whether a job is a midnight emergency call, a multi-day new equipment installation, or a seasonal tune-up booked months in advance, the same system handles intake, dispatch, parts tracking, and invoicing.
IRONGRID is built around the three job types HVAC companies run simultaneously. Emergency calls get dispatched in under a minute with priority flags so the right tech responds first. Installations are tracked as multi-step jobs with phases from site prep through commissioning. Maintenance agreements are set as recurring work orders so every seasonal visit is pre-scheduled and no account gets missed. The app runs on any device so field techs can log parts and time without calling in, and invoices go out the same day a job closes.

Built for the way hvac businesses work
Every tool you need to run your jobs from first call to final payment.
Work Orders for Every Job Type
Create work orders for new equipment installs, seasonal tune-ups, and emergency repairs. Set priority levels so urgent calls get routed to the right tech immediately.
Tech Scheduling & Dispatch
Assign technicians to jobs with full visibility into who's available and where. Track job status in real time, from Scheduled to In Progress to Complete.
Parts & Equipment Tracking
Log filters, refrigerant type and amount, capacitors, motors, and components against every job. Note equipment make, model, and serial number on the work order so techs have that data on every return visit.
Recurring Maintenance Agreement Scheduling
Set spring tune-ups, fall furnace checks, and filter subscription visits as recurring work orders. IRONGRID pre-schedules every account's upcoming visits so no maintenance contract falls off the calendar.
Invoicing with Electronic Payments
Send invoices directly from a completed work order and collect payment by card or ACH. No delays between job completion and getting paid.
Photo & Document Attachments
Attach before and after photos, equipment serial numbers, warranty documents, and inspection reports directly to the work order for a complete job record.
QuickBooks Integration
On Pro and Business plans, push invoices from IRONGRID to QuickBooks in one click. Clients are created as QuickBooks Customers automatically on the first sync. No double-entry between your field management and accounting.
How HVAC businesses use IRONGRID
A homeowner calls at 7 a.m. because the AC went out overnight. The dispatcher opens IRONGRID, creates a work order marked Urgent, pulls up the client's record to confirm the unit model and address, and assigns the nearest available tech. The tech gets a push notification with the full job details before they've finished their coffee. No back-and-forth calls, no information lost in a text thread.
On site, the tech logs the refrigerant added, the capacitor swapped, and the hour and a half of labor. Those entries build the job's cost automatically. When the system is running again, the tech marks the job complete and the office sends the invoice with one tap. The client gets a payment link in their inbox the same day the job closes, not at the end of the billing cycle.
For HVAC companies running seasonal maintenance agreements, IRONGRID handles the scheduling automatically. Set a spring tune-up or fall furnace check to repeat annually and the system pre-schedules each account's visit. Filter subscription programs and monthly maintenance clients work the same way: the visits appear on the schedule without anyone recreating the same work order every cycle.
