Most HVAC contractors are running blind.
You quote a job. You do the job. You get paid. But do you actually know if you made money? Most contractors don't — and that gap is the difference between a business that grows and one that stalls out.

Not ServiceTitan. Not Jobber.
Those tools weren't built for you. Gauge was.
I didn't realize how many jobs I was losing money on until I could see the actual margin. The first week I used job costing I found three jobs that were costing me more than I charged. That paid for a year of software.

Common questions
How is Gauge different from Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Jobber and Housecall Pro are generic field service apps that work for lawn care, cleaning, and HVAC the same way. Gauge is built exclusively for HVAC — with maintenance agreement management, equipment tracking by serial number, and job costing that shows your actual margin including material markup. It speaks HVAC.
What about ServiceTitan?
ServiceTitan is an enterprise product built for operations with 10+ techs and $500+/month budgets. If you're running a 1–5 person shop, you'd spend months implementing it and only use 20% of it. Gauge is built for your scale, priced for your reality.
How does the job costing work?
When you build an estimate, you add parts (with your markup automatically applied) and labor hours. Gauge calculates your projected margin in real time. When the job closes, you log your actual time and materials. You see the final profit and how it compares to your estimate — over time, you know exactly which job types make you money.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — Gauge is mobile-first. It works on any phone or tablet without an app download. You can run your entire day from the truck.
What's the maintenance agreement manager?
You create a maintenance plan, assign customers to it, and set the annual or semi-annual service dates. Gauge tracks who's active, who's coming up for renewal, who's lapsed, and bills recurring customers automatically. It's the predictable income side of your business, finally organized.
Can I import my existing clients?
Yes — you can import clients via CSV or add them manually. Equipment and service history can be entered as you go.
