Dispatch & Scheduling

HVAC Dispatch Software
Every Van, Every Call and Every Tune-Up on One Board

An HVAC day never goes the way it was planned at 7am. A no-cool call comes in at 10, a tune-up customer is not home, and the repair van is across town when the next emergency rings. HVACBossPro puts every van's day on one dispatch board, auto-routes Closest First or Furthest First from the shop, lets you drag calls between days, shows crew GPS on the office map, and sends on-the-way and arrived texts so the office phone stays quieter.

Affordable Doesn't Mean Cheap.
This Is Real Dispatch Software for HVAC Companies.

Plans start at $59/month, and the dispatch board comes with every plan. Routing, the Waiting List map, crew GPS, customer texts and the live customer route map are part of the platform, not add-ons. To see how dispatch fits with equipment records, maintenance agreements, estimates and billing, start at HVACBossPro and then dig into scheduling here.

See the Whole Day Before You Answer “Can Someone Come Today?”

When a homeowner calls with warm air blowing from the vents, the dispatcher needs to know which van has room, which van is closest and what that van is already carrying. HVACBossPro shows each van's calls for the day in route order, with the equipment and access notes on every job, so the answer takes seconds instead of three phone calls to the field.

  • Auto-route Closest First or Furthest First from the shop
  • Set route order by hand
  • Drag calls and tune-ups between days
  • Equipment, filter size and unit location on each job

Dispatch Your Office Learns in an Afternoon

Most HVAC offices are one or two people answering phones, booking calls and chasing invoices. HVACBossPro keeps dispatch to a board, a map and a few clicks. No consultant, no months of setup, no separate routing program.

01

Add Vans and Techs

Set up employees with a personal PIN and assign them to vans. Bring customers in by CSV import and their addresses land on the map.

02

Calls and Tune-Ups Come In

Service calls from the phone, the website form or the customer app. Maintenance tune-ups come due on the Waiting List by themselves.

03

Build Each Van's Day

Put jobs on a van and a day, auto-route Closest First or Furthest First, and adjust the order where you know the neighborhood better.

04

Adjust as the Day Moves

Drag calls between days, watch crew GPS, and read skip notes as they come in. Customers get on-the-way and arrived texts on their own.

A Whiteboard Can't Keep Up With a Heat Wave

HVAC scheduling is two jobs at once: steady, plannable tune-ups and repair calls that show up whenever a capacitor decides to fail. Paper, spreadsheets and generic field-service software tend to handle one of those well and fumble the other.

Ask anyone who has dispatched for a heating and air company during the first hot week of summer. The board was full by Monday. By Tuesday afternoon there were twelve no-cool calls on sticky notes, two techs driving past each other across town, and a stack of spring tune-ups that nobody had the heart to cancel or the time to move.

The fix is not working harder. It is seeing every van's day on one screen, knowing where the vans actually are, and being able to push the plannable work to another day in a couple of drags, while the customers on both lists get told what is happening.

HVACBossPro keeps the board, the map, the equipment and the customer in one place, from the first phone call to the paid invoice.

Repairs on One Van, Tune-Ups on Another, and Room for the Rush

Most small HVAC companies settle into the same pattern: one van chases repair calls, another works through maintenance agreement tune-ups, and the owner floats. Tune-ups come due on their own on the Waiting List, from each agreement's minimum days between visits, so the shoulder seasons fill with planned work and the peak weeks stay open for no-cool and no-heat calls. For the full walkthrough, read HVAC Dispatch Software: The Complete Guide to Scheduling Service Calls and Tune-Ups.

  • Waiting List map of tune-ups that came due
  • Agreements set by minimum days: 180 for spring and fall, 365 for yearly
  • Repair van and tune-up van on separate routes
  • Drag planned work aside when the weather turns
  • Property managers' rental units grouped by area
  • Crew GPS on the office map
Example Week — First Hot Week of June
Van 1 · Repairs
No-cool calls, capacitors, drain lines, routed Closest First
Van 2 · Tune-Ups
Spring agreement visits, moved to Thursday and Friday
Van 3 · Rentals
Property manager units, one monthly statement
Owner
Estimates for replacements and overflow repair calls
Every van, every call, in order.
The same order on the board and on the tech's phone.

Customers See the Van Coming, So They Stop Calling to Ask

The most common call into an HVAC office on a busy day is “is the tech still coming?” HVACBossPro answers it before it is asked. Customers choose a reminder the night before, a text when they are next, and a text when the tech arrives. The customer app shows today's route on a live map with their place in line, and replies come back to the office through two-way texting.

  • Automatic on-the-way and arrived texts
  • Night-before, when-they're-next and tech-arrived alerts, chosen by the customer
  • Live route map with their place in line
  • Two-way texting with the office
  • Service requests, invoices and online payment in the customer app

HVAC Dispatch Software — Common Questions

How does the dispatch board work?

The Scheduled List shows jobs by day. You can filter it to one van or truck, auto-route that van Closest First or Furthest First from the shop, set the route order by hand, and drag jobs to another day. The tech's phone shows the same calls in the same order.

How do I fit a same-day no-cool call into a full day?

Check crew GPS on the office map to see which van is closest, add the call to that van's day, and set where it falls in the route. If something has to give, drag a tune-up to another day. The tech's list updates, and the customer gets on-the-way and arrived texts as the tech works.

How do maintenance tune-ups get scheduled?

Each agreement has a minimum number of days between visits, such as 180 for spring and fall tune-ups or 365 for a yearly visit. When a visit comes due it shows on the Waiting List map and list, colored not due, due now or overdue, and you assign it to a van and a day from there.

Can customers see when the tech is coming?

Yes. Customers can choose a text the night before, when they are next, and when the tech arrives. The customer app also shows today's route on a live map, such as "You're stop 12 of 20 — the crew is 5 stops away."

What happens when a tech cannot do a call?

The tech taps Skip and notes why: nobody home, no attic access, needs a part. The office sees the skip with the note and can text the customer and move the job to another day.

How much does it cost?

Start is $59/month, Pro is $89/month, and Crew is $199/month. Dispatch and routing are on every plan, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card.

Dispatch is one piece of how HVACBossPro runs a heating and air company. For equipment records, maintenance agreements, estimates, the tech app and billing, see the full HVACBossPro platform overview.
