Free Software Built for HVAC Contractors

Contractor Guide

Running a successful HVAC business requires more than just technical expertise; it demands precise coordination between the office and the field. Heating and cooling contractors face unique seasonal challenges, from the massive influx of summer AC repair calls to emergency furnace replacements in the dead of winter. Krib's field service software is built specifically to handle these wild fluctuations. Our dispatch board allows you to quickly route technicians based on real-time location and skill set, ensuring the closest qualified tech gets to an emergency call fast. Furthermore, managing high-ticket quotes for complete system change-outs is seamless. You can build professional, multi-option estimates complete with photos of the existing unit, manufacturer specs, and Good/Better/Best pricing tiers. Since Krib charges zero monthly fees, you can bring on temporary seasonal help without worrying about expensive per-user software licenses, maximizing your profit margins during peak seasons.
