MarginScope · For growing HVAC shops

You think you made 22%. Your books are lying.

We'll show you the real margin by job type, by tech, by department — using your own numbers, on a screen-share, by Friday.

The problem

Three numbers your current software won't show you.

ServiceTitan can show them — for $48K–$84K/yr and a 6–9 month implementation. Housecall Pro, Jobber, and Service Fusion don't even try. So the margin you actually run on is invisible.

8–15%

Callback rate

Industry average. Each callback costs about $650 once you count the truck, the tech, and the parts. At a 10-truck shop running 500 jobs a month, that's $32,500 a month down the drain — over $100K a year. Your software lists callbacks; nobody tells you which tech, crew, or equipment is causing them.

22% vs. 8–12%

The profit you think vs. the profit you get

Most HVAC owners think they make 20–30%. Once you add up the real costs, it's often 8–12% on some job types — and a loss on others. The problem is you can't tell which. On a $2M shop, that's $200K–$300K you think you made but didn't.

4 systems

That don't talk to each other

To know what a job really made, your scheduling app, QuickBooks, payroll, and truck stock all have to agree. They don't. Techs forget to log parts. Labor isn't tied to the right job. So the profit number on your screen is a guess — and your current tools can't fix that.

How MarginScope works

We reconcile what your tools can't — and put it on one screen, every Monday.

We connect to the tools you already use

Read-only links to your scheduling software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Jobber), QuickBooks (Online or Desktop), and payroll. Nothing new to learn — we plug into what you already run.

We do the math your tools can't

We line up what each job charged, what QuickBooks recorded, what payroll actually paid in labor, and what parts came off the truck — and make them agree. That's the cross-checking your current dashboards were never built to do.

You get a clear report every Monday morning

Every Monday at 7am: real profit by department, which tech / crew / equipment is causing callbacks, your top 5 money-losers, maintenance renewals coming due, and unpaid invoices. Delivered with a 15-minute call so you actually act on it.

What it costs

Priced as a slice of what we find.

No big subscription. No long contract. No $48K base fee. Our fee is a share of the margin MarginScope finds you — and you'll see the exact math on the call, before you commit to anything. If we don't find real value, there's nothing to charge for.
