Jrnyman is a field service management app built specifically for HVAC technicians and growing shops (1–5 techs). It handles on-site invoicing with payment links, equipment history logging, and professional estimates from your phone.

How much does Jrnyman cost?

Solo is $19/month (or $190/year) for one tech. Crew is $69/month (or $690/year) for up to five techs with multi-tech dispatch. Early waitlist members get founder pricing locked in and are free at launch.

Is there a free trial of Jrnyman?

Jrnyman is free at launch for everyone on the waitlist, and founder pricing is locked in for life after that. Join the waitlist before July 2026 to claim it — no credit card required.

What is the best invoicing and estimate app for an HVAC tech or growing shop?

Jrnyman is built specifically for HVAC techs and growing shops, not generic field service. It lets you invoice on-site with a Stripe payment link before you leave the driveway, send estimates with customer approval, and log equipment history per unit with OCR nameplate scanning — starting at $19/month, far below enterprise tools like Jobber or ServiceTitan.

Can I accept credit card payments on-site with Jrnyman?

Yes. Jrnyman sends a payment link the moment the job is done, so the customer can tap and pay by card before you are back in the truck. Payments run through Stripe, so the money lands in your account without chasing an unpaid invoice later.

Can Jrnyman store equipment make, model, and serial numbers?

Yes — this is the core of Jrnyman. Scan the nameplate with built-in OCR and it captures the serial number automatically. Log make, model, refrigerant type, and symptoms per visit. On the next service call, the full equipment history is already there — so you are never guessing what you installed six months ago.

How is Jrnyman different from Jobber or HouseCall Pro?

Jobber and HouseCall Pro are generic field service tools that happen to support HVAC. Jrnyman is HVAC-specific: per-unit equipment tracking with OCR nameplate scanning, symptom and diagnosis history per visit, refrigerant type logging, and on-site Stripe payment links. It's also priced for solo techs at $19/month — less than half of Jobber.

Does Jrnyman work on iPhone?

Yes. Jrnyman is iOS-first and built for one-handed use in the field. A web dashboard handles back-office work like dispatch and reporting.

When does Jrnyman launch?

Jrnyman launches before July 2026. Join the waitlist for free early access and founder pricing locked in for life.

The revenue you're leaving on the table

Most HVAC techs only hear from customers when something breaks. Maintenance software changes that.

Missed tune-ups

Customers with units over 5 years old who haven't had a seasonal tune-up. You could be calling them — but you don't know who they are.

No follow-up

You serviced a unit 11 months ago. The customer forgot about you. A simple 'time for your annual check' text would have booked the job.

Aging equipment

Units with repeat repairs are candidates for replacement proposals. Without equipment history, you can't identify them proactively.

How It Works

From reactive repairs to proactive maintenance

Per-unit service history

Every visit is logged against the specific equipment — not just the customer. See when it was last serviced, what was done, and what symptoms were observed. The foundation for proactive maintenance.

Opportunities engine

Jrnyman surfaces customers due for follow-up based on time since last service, seasonal windows (pre-summer AC, pre-winter furnace), aging equipment, and repeat repair patterns.

One-tap outreach

For each opportunity, Jrnyman drafts an SMS message you can send with one tap. 'Hey [name], your [unit] is due for a seasonal tune-up. Want me to swing by this week?' Personalized and ready to send.

Inline check-in logging

Log every outreach attempt — method (call, SMS), outcome (booked, declined, no answer), and notes. Build a relationship history that survives the busy season.

Seasonal email reminders

Automated cron sends seasonal email reminders to your customer base. Pre-summer AC tune-up reminders in spring, pre-winter furnace checks in fall — without you lifting a finger.

Equipment age tracking

Know which units are approaching end-of-life. Proactively send replacement proposals for aging equipment before it fails — turning a $200 emergency call into a $5,000 replacement job.

Maintenance Workflow

How to use Jrnyman for preventive maintenance

Log every service call against the unit

Scan the nameplate, log symptoms and resolution. Every visit builds the unit's service history — the data that powers proactive maintenance.

Check your opportunities dashboard

Jrnyman surfaces units due for follow-up: aging equipment, seasonal tune-up windows, repeat repairs. Filter by priority and outreach status.

Send one-tap outreach

For each opportunity, send a personalized SMS draft with one tap. The message references the specific unit and suggests a time for service.

Book the maintenance visit

When the customer responds, convert the check-in to a job. Complete the tune-up, log it against the unit, and the cycle starts again.

Common questions about HVAC maintenance software

What is HVAC maintenance software?

HVAC maintenance software helps technicians track service history per unit, schedule preventive maintenance, and automate customer follow-ups for seasonal tune-ups and inspections. Tools like Jrnyman go further by surfacing opportunities based on equipment age, time since last service, and repeat repair patterns — turning maintenance into proactive revenue.

How do I track HVAC maintenance schedules?

Jrnyman tracks maintenance schedules per unit, not just per customer. Every visit is logged against the specific equipment — when it was last serviced, what was done, and what symptoms were observed. The follow-up engine surfaces units due for maintenance based on time elapsed, seasonal windows, and equipment age.

Can HVAC maintenance software help me get more service agreements?

Yes. By tracking equipment age and service history, Jrnyman identifies customers whose units are due for preventive maintenance. The automated follow-up engine drafts SMS and email messages you can send with one tap — offering seasonal tune-ups or maintenance agreements before the customer even thinks to call.

What's the difference between HVAC maintenance software and CMMS?

CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) focuses on asset management, work orders, and parts inventory — typically for facility managers. HVAC maintenance software like Jrnyman focuses on the technician's workflow: per-unit service history, customer follow-ups, seasonal outreach, and converting maintenance visits into revenue. It's built for the field, not the office.
