Cost-band markups that match how HVAC really prices
No HVAC shop marks up a contactor and a compressor the same way. Set a markup schedule by cost band — say 300% under $10, 150% from $10–$100, 60% over $500 — preview exactly what changes across the catalog, and apply it in one run. When your supplier raises equipment costs in spring, update costs and re-run the schedule; per-item overrides are respected.
Membership pricing without duplicate items
Maintenance-plan members get a discount; retail customers don't. In most field-service tools that means two copies of every repair that drift apart. Pricebookr keeps Retail and Member books as tiers on the same item, each syncable to Jobber, with techs seeing only the books you grant them.
Start from an HVAC template, sync to Jobber
New to flat rate? Start from the built-in HVAC starter price list and adjust, or import your existing Jobber products & services in one click. Push updates back with two-way sync — every change versioned, with whole-catalog rollback if a bulk update goes wrong. See how Pricebookr completes Jobber's price book.
Worked example: repricing after a spring distributor increase
Say your markup schedule is 300% under $10, 150% from $10–$100, 80% from $100–$500, and 60% over $500. Distributor costs come up in March. You update costs, hit re-run, preview the diff, and apply:
| Item | Old cost | New cost | Band markup | New price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dual-run capacitor | $7 | $9 | 300% | $36 |
| Contactor, 2-pole | $16 | $19 | 150% | $48 |
| Condenser fan motor | $140 | $165 | 80% | $297 |
| 3-ton condenser | $2,300 | $2,650 | 60% | $4,240 |
One run reprices the whole catalog to target. A promo price you pinned on the capacitor? That override is left untouched. Don't like the result — roll back to the pre-run snapshot. Doing this by hand across a few thousand line items is the weekend Pricebookr gives back.
FAQ
Does Pricebookr work for HVAC flat-rate pricing?
Yes. Set markup or margin schedules by cost band, keep repair tasks and parts in one catalog, maintain member vs. retail price tiers on the same item, and push prices to Jobber with two-way sync. An HVAC starter price list is included.
How do I update HVAC prices when equipment costs go up?
Update the costs (CSV import or bulk edit), then re-run your markup schedule — every non-overridden price reprices to your target in one run, with a preview before anything is applied and a snapshot to roll back to.
Can my HVAC techs see prices in the field?
Yes — give field techs role-based access to the field price book only. They see current prices without being able to edit them or view your costs and wholesale tiers.
