How Does it Work?

Advantage Comfort Pricing is a flat rate pricing system based on a system of average repair times for common HVAC repairs. It incorporates your specific labor rates and material markup schemes to create a custom pricing system that fits your company. Instead of using hourly rates, Advantage Comfort Pricing uses a separate “base rate” for each of your pricing schemes (such as “standard” “overtime” or “preferred”). The repair’s labor charge is calculated by multiplying its rated completion time by your base rate. This labor charge is then added to the total price of materials to obtain the flat rate repair price.

For example, suppose you perform a repair rated at 2 hours that includes $55 of parts (after markup). Your standard base rate is $80 and your overtime base rate is $120.

These prices no longer show an hourly rate to your customers, instead, one simple “flat rate” is presented. This relieves you from the “lowest-rate race” with your competitors. This pricing structure also makes it very easy to periodically update your prices to account for inflation or increasing overhead without surprise or complaints from your customer.
