Built for HVAC service & install

Built for HVAC — not adapted from a generic field-service app

Run your HVAC shop from one workspace.

Servato replaces the dispatch whiteboard, the maintenance-agreement spreadsheet, the install change-order folder, and the back-office QuickBooks dance. Dispatch service calls, run seasonal tune-ups on autopilot, keep every unit's history on the address, send flat-rate quotes customers sign from a link, bid installs off mechanical plans with AI takeoffs, and get paid online — first call to paid invoice in one place.

HVAC: quote a rooftop unit swap, assign the no-cooling call from the Dispatch tray, and invoice the AC tune-up.

Why HVAC shops pick Servato

Purpose-built for HVAC

Instead of cobbling together a scheduler, a CRM, and QuickBooks, Servato understands maintenance agreements, equipment-per-address history, and plan-based install bids out of the box.

Whiteboard & spreadsheets

  • Tune-ups slip through every spring and fall
  • No history of what's installed at which address
  • Install change orders live in a folder
  • Re-keying every invoice into QuickBooks

Generic field-service apps

  • No maintenance-agreement engine
  • Flat-rate book bolted on, not built in
  • Install jobs treated like service calls
  • Bidding off mechanical plans means a separate takeoff tool

How HVAC work flows

From no-cool call to paid invoice

Every step feeds the next — no clipboards, no second data entry, no "who's on that call?"

01

Call comes in

No-cool, no-heat, or PM due. The request lands in your pipeline; dispatch pulls up the address, the units installed there, and the last visit before choosing a tech.

02

Tech dispatched

Drag onto the dispatch board. The tech's phone gets a push notification, the on-my-way text goes out from your own Twilio number, and field mode shows the visit, tasks, and notes.

03

Diagnose & quote

Tech logs findings, photos, and time. The office (or the tech) builds the repair or replacement quote from your flat-rate book; the customer e-signs and pays the deposit from the link.

04

Invoice & follow-up

Bill flat-rate or T&M from logged hours; the customer pays online. The next tune-up is already on the calendar from the maintenance agreement, and a review request goes out when the invoice closes.

Everything in one place

Built for residential & light commercial HVAC

Service, installs, and maintenance plans in one workspace. No app-switching, no double entry, no Monday-morning scramble.

Dispatch board for HVAC

Drag today's calls across techs, park what's unassigned in the tray, and watch the board update as visits start and finish. Techs get a push notification the moment they're assigned.

Maintenance agreements

Sell seasonal PMs once — cadence, billing mode, auto-renew, and price escalator — and the visits and recurring invoices generate themselves. Renewal reminders fire before the term ends.

Equipment per address

Track furnaces, condensers, air handlers, and mini-splits at each property. Model, serial, install date, warranty expiry, last and next service — on the record dispatch opens first.

Flat-rate quoting from your book

Repair or full replacement priced from the HVAC starter catalog or your own uploaded book. E-signature, deposit, and one-click conversion to a work order from the customer's link.

Install project mode

Multi-day change-outs get milestones, change orders, and a punch list — without leaving the workspace your service team lives in. Bid the install off mechanical plans with an AI takeoff.

Mobile field mode

Day's calls with directions, task list, photos, notes, clock in/out, and on-my-way texts. Works in attics, basements, and bad-signal crawl spaces, then syncs.

Everything you get — 163 capabilities

Everything an HVAC company runs on — in one place.

Every capability included in the HVAC workspace, grouped by area — service calls, installs, maintenance plans, billing, and the security behind it. Expand any group for the full list.

Customer & job management

Win the work without losing the lead — or the job.

  • Lead capture — Public booking forms, web leads, and follow-up reminders that never drop.
  • Pipeline & deals — Drag-and-drop stages tuned per industry so your sales motion fits.
  • Contacts & properties — One record per customer with every job, photo, and invoice attached.
  • AI first-touch reply — A warm first response to every new lead, drafted from what they asked for — by text or email, in their language — you edit and send.
  • Smart follow-ups — AI reads your open leads and overdue invoices and drafts the nudge — one tap to send.
  • Two-way SMS & email hub — One thread per client — texts and emails in the same timeline, replies land back on the record.
  • Estimates & proposals — Branded PDFs, line items from your materials catalog, e-sign in the portal.
  • Change orders — Scope changes captured, signed, and rolled into the invoice automatically.
  • Client portal — Customers approve quotes, view jobs, and pay invoices from any device.

Projects & job control

Know your margin on every job — costs, logs, punch lists, and client updates in one record.

  • Job costing & margin — Budget plus approved change orders against actual labor and materials — margin % on every job, live.
  • Projects with tasks — Break a job into tasks with owners and due dates — crews check them off from the field app.
  • Daily logs with AI polish — Crew types the rough notes and photos; AI turns them into a clean daily report you can send.
  • Punch lists — Board per job plus a dashboard widget — every open item, who owns it, photo proof when it's closed.
  • Time tracking — Clock in/out with GPS and shift summaries — hours feed job costing automatically.
  • Per-project rate overrides — Prevailing-wage or negotiated rates on one job without touching your default pricebook.
  • Sub rates & payments log — Each subcontractor's rates and every payment you've made them, on the job and on their record.
  • Weekly client updates — A progress update drafted from the job's real activity — what got done, any delays explained honestly, what's next. You review it, then send — so clients stop calling to ask.
  • Progress photos in the portal — Clients see the day's photos without asking — fewer check-in calls, fewer disputes.

Field operations

Get crews where they need to be, with what they need.

  • Calendar & scheduling — Drag jobs to crews, see conflicts instantly, sync to Google Calendar.
  • Dispatch board — Live map of every crew from their field check-ins, next to the day's jobs — in one view.
  • Route optimization — Order today's stops the smart way and shave windshield time — traffic-aware routes on Pro and Business; every plan gets the day's stop list.
  • Recurring visit series — Quarterly PM visits, seasonal tune-ups, filter changes — generate the whole series and adjust one visit without breaking the rest.
  • Dispatcher, estimator & office queues — Each role opens a queue of exactly what needs them today — unassigned visits, estimates to price, invoices to send.
  • Mobile-first field app — Crews update jobs, log time, tick off checklists, and add photos from any phone — offline too.
  • Job checklists — Per-trade templates so the work gets done the right way every time.
  • Photos with GPS — Before/after evidence stamped with location — protects you and the customer.
  • Voice-to-action — Record a walkthrough on your phone; AI transcribes it and drafts tasks, notes, follow-ups, and estimate lines for you to approve.

Estimates, invoices & money

Bid, bill, and get paid without juggling apps.

  • Invoices & receipts — Generate from estimates, send by email, track every open balance.
  • Stripe-native payments — Card payments built in through Stripe — clients pay from the estimate or invoice link, no separate processor to manage.
  • Milestone & progress billing — Split an invoice into milestones — by phase or percent complete — and track each one from pending to ready to billed.
  • T&M / cost-plus reconciliation — Pull unbilled hours and materials straight into the invoice — nothing you did goes unbilled.
  • Deposits — Require a deposit (percent or fixed) when an estimate is accepted — the customer pays it in the portal and it shows as paid on the job.
  • Card-on-file & autopay — Customers save a card once; recurring invoices and balances charge automatically with a receipt.
  • Service agreements & recurring billing — Maintenance plans and contracts that renew automatically, remind you before term end, and bill on schedule.
  • Late fees & reminders — Automatic dunning so overdue invoices don't quietly age out.
  • Public sign links — Estimates and change orders get a signing link that works in any browser — no account needed, signature and timestamp on the audit trail.

AI takeoff & plans

Measured quantities from PDF plans, with the evidence to check them — and an honest RFI when the drawing doesn't say. Scanned sets: printed schedules and counts only, no measuring off a scan.

  • AI Takeoff — Drop a PDF plan set, get measured areas, lengths, and counts back in minutes — for contractor and landscaping work that bids from drawings. AI takeoff — not human reviewed. Verify before you bid.
  • Plan translator — Bilingual construction drawings in minutes — glossary built for the job site. For workspaces that bid from plans, or standalone.
  • Photo takeoff — Snap a phone photo, get measured areas and counts — for jobs that don't have a PDF plan.
  • Spec book AI — Ingest the spec book once, then ask questions in plain English — no more Ctrl-F through 400 pages.
  • Plan readiness scan — Before you run the takeoff, a two-pass scan scores the set — legibility, scale, missing sheets — with per-sheet findings and an expected accuracy band.
  • Quick Takeoff — No PDF? Type or dictate the scope — “40 LF of 6-ft cedar fence, 2 gates” — and get priced quantities.
  • Trade-scope presets — Run only your trade's sheets and items — the roofer's takeoff skips the plumbing riser entirely.
  • Trade auto-detect — The cover sheet and index tell us which disciplines are in the set — presets get suggested, not guessed.
  • Sheet classification & naming — Every page classified (plan, schedule, detail, spec) and named from its title block — jump straight to A2.1.

AI superpowers

Hours of busywork done in minutes — built into the surfaces you already use.

  • Servato AI assistant — Ask your workspace anything — 'what's overdue?', 'draft this estimate' — and it acts across your data.
  • AI customer service — Billing, refunds, and account issues resolved in chat, with approval-gated actions that keep you in control.
  • AI review replies — Draft on-brand responses to every Google review in one click.
  • Project summaries — AI catches you up on a job's history in a paragraph, not a scroll.
  • Full bilingual UI — Every screen, email, and PDF works in English and Spanish — not a Google translate bolt-on.
  • AI estimate drafts — Turn rough notes, voice memos, or photos into a ready-to-send estimate.
  • Autopilot with proof of work — Turn on the automations you want — reminders, review asks, follow-ups — and get a weekly briefing of what ran, with links.
  • “Need a hand?” detection — When someone stalls on a screen, Servato notices and offers the right help — before they give up.

Security & reliability

Enterprise-grade controls, small-business simplicity.

  • Roles & permissions — Owner, office, lead, crew — see only what you should, change only what you can.
  • Two-factor authentication — Optional authenticator-app 2FA for any user — a 6-digit code at sign-in, enabled or disabled in Settings.
  • Audit log — Every important action traceable to a person and a timestamp.
  • Nightly backups — Nightly backups to a private, encrypted-at-rest bucket; org admins can restore any of the last 30 nightly snapshots from Settings — your data is never one bad click away from gone.
  • Custom roles — Build a role with exactly the permissions a bookkeeper, foreman, or sales rep needs.
  • Permission simulator — Pick a role, pick a screen, see what they'd see — test a permission change before you make it.
  • Access requests — Staff ask for a permission from the locked screen; the owner approves or declines from an inbox.
  • Invite links & bulk roles — One link onboards a whole crew; import roles from a spreadsheet for bigger teams.
  • Active sessions & remote sign-out — Team admins see each member's active device and last activity, and can sign out a lost phone remotely — it's kicked within a minute.

Integrations & getting started

Bring your data, connect your tools, and know exactly what you're paying before you start.

  • CompanyCam sync — Link a job once and the photos your crew takes in CompanyCam land on that Servato project automatically.
  • Google Calendar sync — Visits and appointments show up on Google Calendar — and edits there flow back.
  • Free migration — CSV importers for contacts, jobs, and history from QuickBooks, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and more — AI maps messy columns, or email the file to onboarding@servato.app and the automated concierge stages it and proposes the mapping for you to confirm. Every plan.
  • Free document templates — Invoice, estimate, proposal, change order, lien waiver, punch list, daily report, and more — fill them in free in your browser; a free trial account downloads the PDF.
  • Published prices, no demo wall — Every plan and its price is on the site; sign up yourself in two minutes — no sales call unless you want one.
  • 30-day trial, cancel anytime — No card to start, month-to-month after — drop a tier in a slow season without a conversation.
  • Compare & ROI page — Side-by-side vendor tables, a feature matrix, and a calculator that shows hours and dollars saved.
  • Public roadmap & changelog — See what shipped this week and what's next — and vote on what you need.
  • Bilingual trade glossary — Every trade term the product uses, English and Spanish, in the help center — so the office and the crew use the same words.

How we protect your takeoffs

Every run is checked twice, every line is explained.

Four things that stay on whether it's your first takeoff or your thousandth. AI takeoff — not human reviewed. Verify before you bid.

Two models, one answer

A second, independent AI model re-reads every run — quantities, units, and line items — and flags any disagreement before it lands in your quote.

You see the disagreements, not raw single-pass output.

Confidence on every line

Green, amber, and red badges tell you where the model is sure and where it's guessing. Hover to see the assumption behind the number.

Fix the risky lines in minutes instead of re-checking all of them.

You don't pay for our mistakes

If a run fails on our side — bad extraction, unit mismatch we should have caught, verifier disagreement we didn't flag — we fix it, give you a free re-run of that set, and refund only if the re-run fails on our side again.

System faults are on us, not your budget.

Your sign-off, on the PDF

When you check the numbers and confirm, the export carries a Verified-by band with your name and the date. Your client sees who stood behind it — and the AI never ships as if a human had.

Fewer callbacks, faster approvals.

How we run your shop

One workspace, from first call to final invoice.

Five disciplines that keep your office, your crew, and your clients on the same page.

One workspace end-to-end

Lead, estimate, schedule, job, invoice, and paid — all in one place. Stop rebuilding the same job across a spreadsheet, a text thread, and a separate invoicing app.

Nothing gets forgotten between tools.

Your crew on their phone, offline-ready

Installable in 30 seconds, no app store. The crew captures photos and notes even without service, and en-route SMS goes out automatically.

Crew rolls sooner, dispatch stops living in group texts.

Clients see progress without calling

Share links, e-sign, and Stripe checkout are built in. Clients approve estimates, sign, and pay from the same link.

Invoices sent the day work finishes, not the following weekend.

Bilingual by default

Every crew-facing and client-facing surface is in English and Spanish — invoices, estimates, share links, notifications, portal. No toggle gymnastics.

Right word every time, no translator on standby.

Follow-ups run on autopilot

Estimate reminders, overdue-invoice nudges, review requests, and recurring billing work on their own — and an owner briefing shows exactly what they did, with a switch for each one.

The chasing happens even on your busiest week.

Common HVAC questions

Does Servato handle maintenance agreements?

Yes. Set up the agreement once — monthly, quarterly, or seasonal cadence, flat or per-visit billing, optional auto-renew and a yearly price escalator. The visits generate themselves on the calendar, the recurring invoice bills on schedule (card on file, autopay), and you get a reminder before the term ends so renewals don't slip.

Can we track the equipment at each address?

Yes. Every furnace, condenser, air handler, or mini-split lives on the property record — model, serial, install date, warranty expiry, last and next service — plus photos from past visits. Dispatch and PMs see it before sending the tech; the tech gets the visit notes in field mode.

Does it support flat-rate pricing books?

Yes. Start from the HVAC starter catalog or upload your own book as a CSV; labor, equipment, material, and sub rates each have their own list. Quotes and AI takeoffs price from it — Servato never suggests prices.

Can I run installs and service in the same workspace?

Yes. Service calls and tune-ups live on the dispatch board; change-outs and installs get milestones, change orders, and a punch list — same customer record, same invoicing, same activity log.

Can I bid HVAC installs off PDF plans?

Yes. Upload the plan set and one $399 Project Unlock runs the AI takeoff: it counts RTUs, VAV boxes, air handlers, diffusers, and grilles from the mechanical schedules and prices them from your own pricebook. Linear runs of duct, pipe, or conduit are measured geometry and come back as questions, not guesses. AI takeoff — not human reviewed. Verify before you bid.

Will it import from ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or FieldEdge?

Yes. Servato imports contacts, jobs, estimates, and past invoices from any CSV export, with AI column mapping on every plan. Maintenance agreements are set up in Servato after import. Or email the file to onboarding@servato.app: the automated migration concierge stages it in your workspace, proposes the column mapping, and replies — you review and confirm in the importer before anything is written.

Does it work in basements and attics with no signal?

Yes. Field mode caches the day's visits; clocking in and out, ticking tasks, notes, photos, and visit status keep working offline and sync the moment you're back on service. Payments run through the customer's link, so they don't depend on the tech's signal.
