Starter price book templates for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical

Pricebookr includes a ready-to-load starter price book for each of three trades: flat-rate service tasks with starting prices and scope, plus materials at cost. Load one during the free trial, set your markup, and send it to Jobber.

Choose a starter list from the empty catalog or from Settings.

What every starter list includes

Task rows carry a starting price, a unit, and a description of what the price covers, checked against published installed-cost guides. Material rows carry a captured cost with no markup and keep package sizes in their names, so a 250 ft spool and a 25-pack read correctly in the catalog. None of the prices are surveyed market medians; they are a starting point to adjust.

How to use a template

  1. Load the list. In a Pricebookr trial, choose Use this template from the empty catalog or from Settings. Items you already have (matched by name) are skipped, and a snapshot is taken first so the load can be rolled back.
  2. Set your prices. Edit any starting price, or apply a markup schedule by cost band to reprice the whole list in one run.
  3. Send it to Jobber. Push the finished price book to Jobber's products and services with the Jobber integration or export it for QuickBooks Online or Housecall Pro. Both need a paid plan.

FAQ

What is a price book template?

A starting list of the tasks and materials a trade sells, each with a price, unit, and scope. A shop loads it instead of building a catalog from scratch, then adjusts the prices to its own costs and market.

Which trades have a Pricebookr starter list?

HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Each list has flat-rate service tasks with starting prices plus materials that load at cost with no markup.

Can I use a template with Jobber?

Yes. Load the list in Pricebookr, adjust prices or apply a markup schedule, and push it to Jobber's products and services. Writing to Jobber needs a paid plan.
