Calculators

Math-based tools for pricing, margins, overhead, and technical sizing.

Technical

BTU Calculator

Estimate heating and cooling BTUs from room size, climate zone, insulation, ceiling height, windows, and sun exposure — with tonnage recommendations for AC and heating.

Calculator

Labor Rate Calculator

Calculate your fully loaded billable hourly rate — base wage, payroll burden, workers’ comp, benefits, overhead recovery, and target net profit using the industry divisor method.

Signature

Missed Call Cost Calculator

Quantify the revenue HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops lose when calls go unanswered — enter your call volume, miss rate, booking rate, and average job value with trade-specific defaults.

Job Pricing Calculator

Price HVAC, plumbing, and electrical jobs with cost-plus formulas — loaded labor, materials, overhead recovery, and target net margin using the industry divisor method.

Calculator

Bid Calculator

Build a winning bid from the ground up — materials, labor, overhead, and profit margin — so every quote covers your true cost and hits your target margin.

Calculator

Service Price Calculator

Set a flat-rate service price from your true cost — loaded labor, materials, overhead, and target margin — so every service call is priced for profit, not guesswork.

Technical

Load Calculator

Estimate heating and cooling load for residential HVAC sizing — square footage, climate zone, insulation, internal gains, and equipment capacity in BTU/hr and tons.

Use calculator
Technical

HVAC Duct Size Calculator

Size round and rectangular HVAC ducts from CFM and target air velocity — with standard size recommendations, equivalent diameter, and friction loss estimates.

Use calculator
Calculator

Labor Cost Calculator

Find the total burdened labor cost for one job — loaded hourly cost (wage + burden) × hours × crew — and see labor as a percent of the job price.

Use calculator
Technical

HVAC Static Pressure Calculator

Diagnose total external static pressure (TESP) against the blower rating, or design duct friction rate from available static pressure and effective length — ACCA Manual D and NCI methods.

Use calculator
Technical

Duct Weight Calculator

Estimate the sheet-metal weight of round and rectangular duct by gauge and material — surface area, bare weight, waste allowance, and total pounds for material takeoffs and hanger sizing.

Use calculator
Technical

HVAC ACH Calculator (Air Changes Per Hour)

Calculate air changes per hour from measured airflow and room volume, or reverse it to get the CFM required for a target ACH — graded against recommended ranges for homes, offices, kitchens, shops, and healthcare spaces.

Use calculator
Technical

HVAC CFM Calculator

Calculate required airflow three ways — from tonnage at 350/400/450 CFM per ton, from the sensible heat equation and measured ΔT, or from room volume and air changes per hour.

Use calculator
Technical

Hydronic Flow Rate (GPM) Calculator

Calculate required hydronic loop flow from BTU/hr and design ΔT, correct the 500 constant for propylene or ethylene glycol, and check water velocity against the 2–4 ft/s closed-loop band.

Use calculator
Technical

HVAC Superheat & Subcooling Calculator

Turn gauge pressures and line temperatures into actual superheat and subcooling for R-410A, R-454B, R-32, R-22, and R-134a — then compare against the fixed-orifice target-superheat chart or the 8–12 °F TXV/EEV subcooling window.

Use calculator
Technical

Refrigeration BTU Calculator

Size walk-in cooler and freezer refrigeration equipment the way the manufacturer load forms do — transmission, air change, product pull-down, and internal load, plus safety factor and compressor run time.

Why HVAC contractors need the right tools

HVAC contractors juggle emergency calls, seasonal demand, flat-rate pricing, and crew scheduling — often from the cab of a service truck. Free tools help you quote faster, document consistently, and spot margin problems before they show up on your P&L.
