The math doesn't lie.
HVAC Technicians deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Seasonal income swings — buried in summer, slow in spring/fall. ServiceTitan wants $300+/month for a one-man shop. Tracking maintenance agreements and recurring visits. Managing refrigerant logs and EPA compliance paperwork. Customers calling at 10pm because their AC died. Jobber charges $69/month on top of these daily realities. The median HVAC tech earns $50,590/year — $828/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for hvac technicians. You own it like you own your Manifold gauge set.
It's July, 97 degrees, and your phone won't stop ringing. You just finished an AC repair and the homeowner wants a receipt. You've got two more calls stacked and a maintenance agreement customer who was supposed to be scheduled last week. You're drenched in sweat, typing an invoice on your phone with greasy fingers, and you can't remember if you charged this customer the diagnostic fee or waived it.
