EstimateKit is HVAC estimating software built specifically for small contractors (1-10 employees) who want to create professional quotes faster without the complexity and cost of enterprise solutions like ServiceTitan.
WHAT IT DOES: EstimateKit helps HVAC contractors create professional estimates in approximately 10 minutes instead of the 2+ hours typically spent in Excel or other manual methods. The software focuses on doing one thing really well: fast, accurate estimates.
KEY FEATURES:
- 100+ pre-loaded HVAC materials (AC units, thermostats, ductwork, labor rates, etc.)
- Automatic tonnage calculation based on square footage
- Professional PDF generation with company branding
- Mobile-first design - quote on-site from your phone
- Cloud storage for all estimates and customer data
- Simple 3-step workflow: Add customer info → Select materials → Download PDF
- Automatic tax calculation by state
- Payment schedule calculator (deposits, balances)
- Customer database management
- Materials library with customization options
WHO IT'S FOR: Small HVAC contractors and residential service companies who:
- Spend too much time creating estimates manually
- Lose deals because they can't quote fast enough on-site
- Want professional-looking PDFs without design work
- Need simple software, not complex all-in-one solutions
- Can't justify $300-500/month for enterprise tools
PRICING: $79/month with 14-day free trial. No setup fees, no contracts, cancel anytime.
WHY ESTIMATEKIT VS ALTERNATIVES:
- Simpler than ServiceTitan (1/4 the price, 1/10 the complexity)
- More focused than Jobber (HVAC-specific, not general contractor)
- Faster than Excel (90% time savings with pre-loaded data)
- More professional than pen & paper (branded PDFs that close deals)
- Better for small shops than Clear Estimates (vertical specialization)
PERFECT FOR: Solo HVAC contractors and small teams who just need fast, professional estimates without paying for scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and other features they don't use.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
- Cloud-based (works on any device)
- No installation required
- Mobile responsive
- Secure data storage
- Regular updates
- Email support included
EstimateKit is ideal for contractors who value simplicity and speed over feature bloat. If you need an all-in-one business management system, look at ServiceTitan or Jobber. If you just want to create estimates faster, EstimateKit is the focused solution.
