When to use and what to include
Draft the approach, timeline, and pricing online, then generate a proposal PDF for review. Use this for system replacements, new construction, or major upgrades where equipment selection, system design, assumptions, schedule, and price need a clear explanation.
What to include
- Recommended solution with equipment selection rationale — tonnage based on Manual J, SEER/HSPF ratings, and why this specific equipment fits the home.
- Scope of work narrative covering equipment, ductwork modifications, zoning, controls, electrical, permits, and any structural work like platform builds or lineset routing.
- Documented equipment options when applicable, with scope and price for each, current rebate or financing inputs, and any energy estimate labeled with its data source, assumptions, and limitations.
- Project timeline from permit to commissioning, warranty details (manufacturer and labor), and your company's maintenance plan offering.
Common questions
- Can I structure this HVAC Proposal online for different client scenarios?
- Yes. Revise the proposed work, options, schedule, and pricing in the guided form before downloading the final PDF.
- Can I save this HVAC Proposal and reuse its structure for another customer?
- Yes. With an account, save it in your history, edit it later, and reuse its details as a starting point for another customer.
- Can I generate a presentation-ready PDF from this HVAC Proposal?
- Yes. Export a polished PDF suitable for email delivery, proposal reviews, and approvals.
- How is a proposal different from a quote?
- A quote lists prices. A proposal explains the problem, recommended solution, expected result, timeline, and investment.
- Do I need to include energy savings estimates?
- If savings are relevant, identify the current and proposed equipment ratings, usage and climate data, utility rates, calculation method, assumptions, and limitations. Present the result as an estimate that can vary, not as a guaranteed outcome.
- Should financing be part of the proposal?
- If financing is available, identify the provider and clearly state the financed amount, term, payment schedule, interest or APR, fees, and conditions supplied for that offer. Follow the provider's current disclosures and applicable lending rules.
- What is the difference between a proposal and a quote?
- A quote presents the price for a defined job. A proposal also explains your approach, timeline, materials, and pricing, which suits larger or multi-phase projects.
- What makes a proposal clear and complete?
- Describe the project approach, deliverables, materials, timeline, pricing, assumptions, and next step in terms specific to the customer.
- Should I include multiple pricing options?
- Yes. Three clearly defined options let customers compare scope, equipment or materials, performance, and price before choosing.
