Ratesmith gives small HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops a pre-loaded catalog of 190+ common repairs. Punch in your hourly rate and markup, tune the numbers to your market, and export a branded PDF book plus a CSV your field software can import.
Every small shop hits the same wall: the big field-service platforms assume you'll bring your own price book — or pay a monthly ransom for theirs.
"I made my own pricebook… was a lot of work."
"Tried the big platform everyone talks about — it's like flying a 747 to fix a leaky faucet."
"We're a small company. It's tough to justify the price."
HVAC, plumbing, or electrical. A full catalog of bread-and-butter tasks loads instantly — with realistic starting labor hours and wholesale part costs.
Hourly rate, material markup, trip fee, minimum ticket. Every price in the book recalculates live. Edit any task, add your own, delete what you don't do.
Tiered options are pre-built where they make sense — part quality and warranty — so your techs can offer choices instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it number.
A branded, printable PDF book for the truck, and CSV files shaped for import into Jobber, Housecall Pro, or any spreadsheet.
66 HVAC, 65 plumbing, 61 electrical — diagnostics, repairs, replacements, and installs, organized by category with plain-language descriptions homeowners understand.
Prices build from labor hours × your rate + parts × your markup, with trip fees, minimum tickets, and rounding — the same math the expensive platforms use.
Export a clean, branded PDF with your logo line, phone, and effective date. Print it, or keep it on the tablet.
CSV exports formatted for field-service import. Your price book stays yours — take it to whatever platform you use next.
Your book saves in your browser and to a file you own. No account, no cloud lock-in, nothing held hostage.
Every default is a starting point. Rename tasks, change hours, swap costs, add categories — it's your book, not ours.
Try the whole builder free. Pay only when you want your exports clean.
They're realistic national starting points, not gospel. Labor hours and wholesale part costs vary by region and supplier — the whole point of Ratesmith is that you tune them to your market in minutes instead of building the skeleton from scratch. Volatile items (like refrigerant per-pound costs) especially deserve a check against your supplier.
Ratesmith exports CSVs shaped for products-and-services import. Import templates occasionally change on their side, so check the column mapping on your first import — the data is standard name / description / category / price, which every platform accepts.
No. $49 once. Your license key works offline and forever. If we improve the catalogs, redeploys are free — it's a static tool, there's nothing to renew.
Yes — the entire builder is free to use. Exports carry a preview watermark until you unlock. You can build and tune your whole book before spending a dollar.
The catalogs seed residential service and light install work — the stuff you price the same way every week. Changeouts, commercial, and anything weird stay quote-only, as they should.
