Sound Familiar?

Your 9am is a washer that won't drain. You diagnose a bad pump — $180 repair. The customer says 'I can buy a new one for $400' and you lose the job. Your 11am is a refrigerator warranty call that pays a flat $75 regardless of time spent. By 2pm you've done four calls, used parts from your truck inventory you need to reorder, and still haven't filed the warranty claim from this morning. Your parts costs are tracked nowhere.

The average service business waits 23 days to get paid. Here's where the gap lives.

It's not the work — it's the steps between 'done' and 'paid.' On-site invoicing, automatic generation from the job record, and same-day reminders compress 23 days to next-day. Every day you shave off is cash that's in your account instead of someone else's.

FAQ

Is Nexa actually built for appliance repair technicians?

Yes. The invoicing module is designed for appliance repair technicians who need to professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus you get scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting — tools most appliance repair technicians end up needing anyway. $279 total for everything.

$279 seems expensive upfront. Is it worth it?

$279 spread over 3 years is $7.75/month. You're currently paying $124/month for Jobber + QuickBooks — that's $4,993 over 3 years. Nexa saves you $4,714 over that period. The math isn't close.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I switch from Jobber?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most appliance repair technicians are fully switched in 1-2 days. Run both in parallel until you're confident — zero risk.

How does Nexa compare to what other appliance repair technicians spend?

The median appliance repair tech earns $42,000/year. Software subscriptions at $1,488/year represent 3.5% of that income — every single year. Nexa at $279 once is 0.66% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most appliance repair technicians cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a appliance repair tech actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Multimeter and amp clamp you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "diagnosing before knowing if the customer will approve the repair cost" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in 2.3 months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a appliance repair tech who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying $124/month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
