What Is an HVAC Scope of Work Template?

An HVAC scope of work template is the blank sheet for one job. It holds the inclusions you type, the exclusions you type, the equipment you name, the permits you assign, the startup you will run, the cleanup you will do, the customer responsibilities you write, and a sign-off. It is not an estimate.

All calculations are estimates based on historical information and should be verified by the user. The section count is not a price.

Important: this sheet is not a price

All calculations are estimates based on historical information and should be verified by the user. This tool is provided as a free service for planning purposes only and is not a substitute for review by an attorney or a licensed contractor. The section count is not a price, a labor hour, or a permit fee.

Lines on the HVAC Scope of Work Template

A public template names the same kind of blanks. ServiceTitan's HVAC scope of work page describes a working agreement with deliverables, equipment, exclusions, start-up inspections, and approvals. Its listed fields include company and customer lines, a job timeframe, equipment model details, materials, a labor hours and rate field, a signature, and warranty language. This sheet keeps the job lines an owner can type today and does not multiply a rate. It also does not ask for a card number, which that page lists under payment information.

Housecall Pro's HVAC scope of work page says its template has built-in formulas that calculate totals. This sheet does not. A total belongs on the price sheet, after the scope is written.

LineWhat you type
InclusionsThe work you will do on this job, in your words.
ExclusionsThe work you will not do. Drywall, electrical upgrades, and crane time stay here if they are not yours.
EquipmentThe outdoor unit, indoor unit, coil, thermostat, and duct notes you type. No model price is supplied.
PermitsWho pulls the mechanical permit, and whether an electrical permit is in this job.
Startup and commissioningThe startup steps you will run, and who signs the readings. No pass/fail number is printed.
CleanupWhat you haul away, and what you leave for the household.
Customer responsibilitiesAccess, pets, the thermostat location, and anything the household must do before you start.
Sign-offThe name that accepts this scope. A blank name is not an acceptance.

The page the homeowner signs, with a price, is how to write an HVAC proposal. Rates you type, quantity times that rate, stay on the HVAC estimate template. Do not paste a task rate into this scope and call the section count a bid.

How the Section Count Is the Only Math

The count equals the number of the eight sections that have text. If you type inclusions and exclusions and leave the other six blank, the sheet shows 2. If you type all eight, the sheet shows 8. Those products are a count of blanks you filled. They are not a recommended price, and they are not labor hours.

A recurring membership is a different sheet, the HVAC service agreement template. The company-level blanks, including a marketing line, stay on the business plan. This page is one job.

What This Sheet Leaves Alone

  1. Type the inclusions you will actually do on this address. A task you cannot staff is not included.
  2. Type the exclusions in the same visit. A surprise in the attic is a change, not a free repair.
  3. Name the equipment. Do not borrow a model price this page refused to print.
  4. Say who pulls the permit, who runs startup, and what the household must do before the truck arrives.
  5. Read the section count before you tell anyone it is a bid. It is a count of filled lines.

After the scope is signed, a change belongs on HVAC change order software. The handoff from the sold job to the crew is how to hand off an HVAC install. Closeout, including what you leave behind, is how to close out an HVAC installation.

Permit status on the job is HVAC permitting software. The install record from signature through startup is HVAC installation software. SubcontractorHub for HVAC is the sales and job record. SubcontractorHub is an all-in-one sales and project management platform for solar, roofing, and HVAC contractors that keeps the signed scope next to the install. This template is only the blanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this blank job sheet hold?

It is a blank job sheet. You type inclusions, exclusions, equipment, permits, startup and commissioning, cleanup, customer responsibilities, and a sign-off. The only math is a count of how many of those eight sections have text. It is not a price.

Is this the same page as an HVAC estimate or an HVAC proposal?

No. The estimate multiplies a quantity by a rate you type. The proposal is the page the homeowner signs, including price. This sheet does not multiply a rate and does not print a price.

Does this sheet replace a maintenance agreement?

No. A service agreement covers visits over years. This sheet is one job. Do not paste a membership price into the sign-off and call it a plan.

Is the section count a price or a labor hour?

No. If two sections have text, the count is 2. If all eight have text, the count is 8. Those are counts of filled blanks. They are not dollars and they are not hours.

Where does the scope live after this sheet?

The signed scope belongs on the job. A later change is a change-order record, not a rewrite of this sheet. SubcontractorHub keeps that file with the install. This template stops at the blanks.

Keep the Scope Next to the Job

The inclusions you typed, the exclusions you typed, and the sign-off you typed belong where the work is tracked.
