Zaras for HVAC

No‑heat January, no‑cool July. One record holds the year.

Maintenance agreements, same-day dispatch, and changeout estimates.

Maintenance plansNo-cool dispatchChangeouts

Two peaks pay for the year.

Most of a shop’s revenue lands in the hottest and coldest weeks; the shoulders run thin. A whiteboard survives March and buries you in July — the record holds both peaks, and the agreement base fills the shoulders.

What carries season to season: plan renewals equipment history last year’s fix.

One week in June. Three jobs, one record.

A plan visit, a no-cool call, and a changeout closing — history for the tech, the estimate for the office, one thread for the customer.

Tue

AC tune-up

The agreement fills the route on its own schedule; the tech opens the job and sees last visit’s notes before knocking.

Thu 4 PM

No-cool call

Dispatch finds the closest available tech, sends a real ETA, and the customer approves the repair from the same thread.

Changeout closes

Last week’s changeout estimate converts — deposit collected and the crew scheduled from the same estimate, no re-entry.

The agreement base and the changeout desk.

HVAC money comes from two engines — steady agreement work all year, and big tickets when a system gives out. Zaras runs both from the same record.

The agreement base

Steady revenue the peaks don’t control. When a system dies in July, the agreement customer calls you first — and the tech arrives already knowing the equipment.

The changeout desk

Changeouts close on the first visit when the numbers are ready — the desk keeps them ready, and no open estimate sits idle.

What Zaras runs for HVAC.

The record, not the whiteboard — every job from first call to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.

Maintenance agreementsreminders and renewals run from the record, not from a spreadsheet on the side.

Urgent no-cool / no-heat dispatchsame-day calls slotted with an ETA, service history at the door.

Changeout estimatesoptions, financing, and deposit built into the estimate itself, not a separate step.

Flat-rate pricebookthe book prices the repair on the tech’s phone. Consistent margins on every ticket, no guessing at the door.

Equipment and warranty historymodel, serial, install date, and coverage on the record before the panel comes off. Warranty work never gets billed wrong.

Estimate follow-upunsold estimates get scheduled follow-ups until they close or say no. Nothing dies in a folder.

IAQ add-on line itemsduct sealing, UV lights, dehumidifiers, and smart thermostats price as options on the same job.

Commercial rooftop accountsNET-terms billing and per-site equipment history without leaving the operating record.

Call → estimate → schedule → invoice → paid — every HVAC job, one record.

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours, both directions. Customers, equipment history, and open agreements come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.

Can it run commercial work?

Yes — NET-terms billing, per-site equipment history, and multi-site accounts live on the same record as your residential book.

What size shop is this for?

HVAC shops running 1–40 crews — from an owner-operator to a multi-truck shop.

What does private beta mean?

We onboard a limited number of shops at a time. Request an invite, fit is reviewed within 24 hours with a reply either way, and accepted shops get guided onboarding — pricebook and customer list loaded with you, not dumped on you.
