What goes on an HVAC estimate
The example above is made up; yours starts with nothing filled in.
Start yours-
Three options on one page
Repair, replace and high-efficiency side by side, so the customer picks one.
-
The unit by name
Its efficiency and size on its own line, so the invoice and warranty match.
-
What's not in the price
Permits, electrical work, duct changes and anything found once the old unit is out, said before it's signed.
-
Sold at the door
A unit sold at the customer's home can come with extra rules: check the rule where you work.

Questions
How far over the estimate can the bill go?
Many places set a limit. Type yours as a percent and each change is checked against it. Check the rule where you work.
Markup or margin?
A 50% markup on 100 makes 150: a 33% margin, not 50%.
How big a deposit?
Many ask 10% or less, or enough for parts they order. Check the rule where you work.
What does it print?
The estimate, a job sheet with a shopping list, and a change form.
Where is my estimate kept?
Nowhere, unless you sign in and save it. A PDF is made on our server and not kept.
Is this legal advice?
Guidance, not legal advice.
