The $820 estimate and the $8,400 one, sent together

A 14-year-old unit on its third repair is a replacement conversation. Send both estimates before you pack the gauges — the homeowner approves one and declines the other.

Scope records payments you've received — cash, check, card or transfer. It doesn't process card payments.

Notes and photos on the job

Model and serial on the job — not in four text threads.

Type the equipment details into the job notes and attach a nameplate photo. Next summer, open the client's past jobs and it's there.

What HVAC techs ask before they switch

Can I show repair vs replace?

Send them as two estimates. The customer approves one and declines the other — options inside a single estimate aren't supported yet.

Do deposits work for equipment?

Record the deposit as a payment on the invoice and Scope shows the remaining balance. Scope doesn't process cards.

Maintenance agreements?

Not yet. Create each tune-up as its own job; the client's history shows past visits.

Does it handle financing?

No. Record the payments you receive; financing stays between the customer and the lender.
