Software for HVAC contractors: booking, dispatch and the replacement sale.
HVAC is two businesses: the service call that has to be booked and dispatched today, and the replacement sale that needs three options and a follow-up. The big platform does both at a big price. HomeMaxx Pro does both at a small one, and brings the Homeowner to the door.
The rows that decide it for HVAC contractors.
From the full comparison, the features HVAC contractors ask about first, with HomeMaxx Pro beside the tools HVAC contractors usually shop: ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber.
| Feature | HomeMaxx Pro | ServiceTitan | Housecall | Jobber |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Online self-booking by the HomeownerAssessments booked from the reps' real openings, with a travel buffer worked out from the distance to the next stop, so a booking never lands across town from the previous one. | Slots around real openings, travel buffer | |||
| Dispatch calendarThe week view, the crews, the visits and the reschedules, with each tech's own Google calendar synced so nobody is booked over their own life. | ||||
| On-my-way texts with a live tracking linkThe text the Homeowner actually wants, with a link that shows the truck on its way. | ||||
| Good, better, best estimates from a price bookThe replacement sale in three tiers, signed online, with the follow-up texts and emails running on their own until it is approved or lost. | ||||
| Homeowner requests sent to you from a consumer brandThe request arrives with the Homeowner's name, address and what they need, not a marketplace lead sold to four shops. | Free outside territories; exclusive inside one | Marketing tools for your own ads | Marketplace integrations; you pay the marketplace | |
| Financing offers on the estimateNot yet: financing on the estimate is on the build list. If most of your replacements are financed at the kitchen table, that is the gap to weigh. | Coming | |||
| Built-in phone systemPartial: a texting number per shop today, not a full phone system with call recording. | Texting number | Add-on | Add-on | Add-on |
