Is ThermoGRID Really Built for Your HVAC Shop?
ThermoGRID is built exclusively for HVAC — it understands flat-rate pricing, equipment tracking, and HVAC sales processes. But if you do any plumbing or electrical, you need another system.

Where ThermoGRID Falls Short for HVAC
HVAC-only — no multi-trade. Small company with limited support resources. If you add any other trade, you need a second system.

HVAC Operational Challenges ThermoGRID Doesn't Solve
HVAC companies face unique operational challenges. ThermoGRID addresses some but leaves critical gaps.
Operational Challenges
- 1Seasonal demand spikes strain scheduling and staffing
- 2EPA refrigerant tracking and Section 608 compliance
- 3Warranty claim documentation across dozens of equipment brands
- 4High callback rates when install paperwork is incomplete
Compliance & Regulations
- AEPA Section 608 — refrigerant handling certification
- BOSHA confined-space and fall-protection standards
- CState mechanical licensing and continuing education
- DEnergy code compliance documentation (IECC, Title 24)
HVAC shops run on a mix of carbon-copy work orders, whiteboard dispatch, and texted photos. When a warranty claim lands 6 months later and the install paperwork is in a filing cabinet — if it exists at all — the shop eats the cost.
What HVAC Companies Typically Use

How We Bridge the Gap for HVAC Teams Using ThermoGRID
Map Your Workflow
We study where ThermoGRID stops and paper starts in your hvac operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry.
Build a Working Prototype
A real, functional prototype that eliminates paper for your hvac crew and works alongside ThermoGRID — not replacing it.
Prove It Before You Pay
Test it on a real hvac job. If it doesn't eliminate the paper problem, you don't pay.
