About the template
What this HVAC quote template covers and why it wins more service work
HVAC jobs lose margin in the quote, not on site. The dedicated electrical circuit gets forgotten. Standard piping is quoted at 3 metres and the install is 7. The refrigerant type and weight are written as 'gas'. The after-hours rate is implied rather than published, so when the client calls on a Saturday you do the work and then have an awkward conversation at invoice time. Each of these is an itemised line on the template below.
Split installs need the unit BTU rating, the refrigerant by gas type and weight (R32, R410A, R22 all price differently), piping beyond the standard allowance per metre, brackets and drainage kits, install labour, commissioning labour, and a separate line stating whether the dedicated circuit is included or client-supplied. Regas and fault-finding jobs need a leak test line before the gas line because regassing without finding the leak means you own the return trip. Service contracts need the visit schedule, what each visit includes (filter clean, gas check, coil wash, drain test), and a response-time commitment, because contracts with detail renew at over 80 percent while vague ones get shopped at renewal.
Use it as a checklist when you walk a site. Or build it on your phone in QuoteGenio with your refrigerant pricing, after-hours rate, and service contract visit structure already set up. Send the quote from the site via WhatsApp before you drive to the next call. Service clients comparing quotes respond to the first professional document that lands in their inbox, especially on urgent summer installs.

Common mistakes on hvac technicians quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Quoting regas without a leak test first
Better: If a unit is low on gas, there is a reason. Quote a leak check (pressure test + dye) as a separate line before the regas. Otherwise the gas leaks out in a month and you own the return trip.
Mistake: Not quoting for the dedicated circuit
Better: Most splits over 18,000 BTU need a dedicated circuit. State clearly whether you include it or it is client-supplied. Clarify in writing so you are not doing electrical work for free.
Mistake: Forgetting piping beyond the standard allowance
Better: Standard is typically 3 metres. Anything beyond is extra. List 'additional piping per metre' with a unit rate so scope changes are easy to price.
Mistake: Lumping service contracts into a single line
Better: Break contracts into the visit count, what each visit includes (filter clean, gas check, drain wash), and response-time commitments. Clients accept and renew clearly-specified contracts.
Mistake: No after-hours rate on the quote
Better: Publish your after-hours rate (typically 1.75x to 2x standard) on the document. Commercial clients will call on a Saturday. Show the premium up front, not on the invoice afterwards.
Mistake: Writing 'gas' instead of the type and weight
Better: R410A, R32, and R22 all price differently. Show the gas type and quantity. A line like 'R32, 500g' reads more professional than 'gas' and compares better against other quotes.
FAQ
HVAC Technicians quote template questions
Everything hvac technicians ask before they switch to a structured quote.
Unit BTU rating and brand, refrigerant type and quantity, piping with a per-metre rate beyond the standard allowance, brackets and drainage, labour broken into install and commissioning, the dedicated circuit treatment, leak test if relevant, after-hours rate published, and your banking details. The QuoteGenio template carries all of these by default.
30 days is standard. Refrigerant and imported unit prices move with the exchange rate and shipping costs. State the validity on the quote so you can re-quote cleanly if the client returns after that window.
Yes, always. If a unit is low on gas there is almost always a leak. Quoting the leak test as its own line means you find the cause first, fix it, and only then regas. Without the leak test you regas a faulty system and own the return trip when it goes flat next month.
Typically 1.75x to 2x your standard rate, with a 2 to 4 hour minimum. Commercial clients call on Saturdays and emergency overheating. Publishing the rate on the quote means the client accepts the premium up front in writing, not as a surprise on the invoice.
Either is fine, just state it clearly on the quote. If you do the electrical, price it as its own line with the cable run length and circuit rating. If it is client-supplied, state that 'a dedicated 20 amp circuit must be in place before install date' so the install does not stall on the day.
List the number of visits per year, what each visit includes (filter clean, gas pressure check, coil wash, drain flush), and your response-time commitment for breakdowns. State whether parts are included or billed separately. Detailed contracts renew at over 80 percent; vague ones get shopped at renewal.
Yes. Most service clients respond fastest on WhatsApp, especially during summer when installs are urgent. QuoteGenio builds the quote on your phone and shares the link via WhatsApp in one tap. The client can review and accept inline.
Yes. The template structure is free to use. The QuoteGenio app builds the same quote in minutes with your refrigerant pricing, after-hours rate, and service contract structure already set up. The free plan covers 5 quotes a month with no credit card.
