Does it do the load calculation?

Not in the formal sense. Le Métreur applies the sizing rule YOU use on a routine job, the one already sitting behind your past quotes. A load calculation done to standard stays an engineer's work, and we will not pretend to replace it.

My supplier prices change several times a year.

You tell us, and the grid follows from the next request on. In this trade that is the item that moves most, which is exactly why the pricing cannot live in a frozen file.

Can the service contract be offered automatically?

Yes, when your offer covers it: it becomes a line of the quote like any other. It is the item that late writing loses most often, and it carries a real share of your recurring revenue.

What if I also do plumbing or electrical?

Several grids by type of work, from tier 2 on. Whether you also do plumbing or electrical, each trade keeps its own items and rates, with no mixing.

Trade · heating and cooling

The HVAC quote starts at the load. Everything else comes down from it.

Indoor unit, outdoor unit, ductwork, controls, hookup, startup, balancing: the chain is long but it is always the same chain. That is what makes it something you can hand off.

Who this page is for, and who it is not for.

Yes, if

You price replacements and additions several times a week, residential or light commercial.
Your equipment models and supplier prices fit in a list, however incomplete.
Your quotes regularly forget a control, a balancing or a permit item.
You sell a service contract with the install, and it goes missing at writing time.

No, if

You design systems off drawings, with a load calculation signed by an engineer. That is not what Le Métreur does.
You only do service and repair: that gets answered, not priced in advance.
Every install is a one off decided after a full walkthrough of the building.

What an HVAC quote holds, item by item

The load and the equipment
Floor area, the insulation the client declares, the number of storeys, then the indoor and outdoor units that match your catalogue. This item fixes all the others, and it is the one the client compares first.
Distribution and controls
Ductwork, dampers, grilles, thermostat, controls, electrical hookup. This is where quotes diverge most from one estimator to another inside the same company, for lack of a written rule.
Startup and what follows
Refrigerant, commissioning, balancing, permit where it applies, then the service contract if it is part of the offer. These are the most forgotten items, and the easiest to stop forgetting.

A price that follows the volume, not the seat count

The question is not what a piece of software costs. It is what the person you would have to hire to do the estimating costs. In Quebec, a junior estimator runs close to $5,000 CAD a month once payroll costs are in.
