HVAC businesses carry a scheduling load that most software wasn't built for: multi-day equipment installations booked weeks out, seasonal maintenance contracts that need to run like clockwork, and emergency calls that can arrive any hour and need a tech on site fast. Keeping your techs assigned, your parts costs tracked, and your invoices accurate across all three job types at once is where things break down without the right system.
IRONGRID is HVAC company software built around how field teams actually work. Use it as your HVAC CRM to keep every client and equipment record in one place, your HVAC scheduling software to dispatch techs and manage maintenance routes, and your billing tool to get invoices out the same day a job closes. The HVAC app runs on any phone or tablet with no install required, and every plan includes unlimited technicians.
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 the filters, refrigerant, units, and components used on every job. Stay on top of parts costs so your quotes and invoices reflect the real cost of each call.
Multi-Step Installation Checklists
Break complex equipment installs into subtasks: site prep, unit installation, electrical tie-in, commissioning, and final walkthrough. Track completion of each step.
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.
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.
