Stop Paying $280/Mo for Bloated Office Software You Hate Using in a 130° Attic.
SecondMan HQ (HVAC TRADE OS) gives solo technicians and small crews every high-margin weapon in one glove-friendly app: Driveway Good-Better-Best Quotes, Hands-Free Drive-Time Voice Notes, a $15/mo VIP Club Engine, and 1-Tap Van Inventory & Pricebook.
EVERY WEAPON INCLUDED FROM DAY 1
8 Field-Tested Weapons Built for Dirty Gloves, Not Desk Clerks
Other platforms lock these behind $250/month “Pro Tiers.” In SecondMan HQ, every single one comes standard.
Hands-Free Drive-Time Voice Notes
Talk while driving to your next call. SecondMan HQ automatically extracts the customer, parts installed ('45/5 dual run cap'), amount billed ('$285 on card'), and follow-up notes.
Driveway Good-Better-Best Proposals
Build 3-tier repair or full system replacement quotes in the driveway in 60 seconds. Text it to the homeowner for 1-tap approval and finger signature on glass.
$15/Mo VIP Maintenance Club Engine
Lock in predictable monthly recurring revenue that covers your truck payment and insurance during dead spring and fall shoulder seasons.
'Attic Mode' Missed-Call Lead Rescuer
Stuck in a 130° attic or on an extension ladder? When you miss a call, SecondMan HQ texts the homeowner within 20 seconds so they don't call the next guy on Google.
Truck Inventory & Flat-Rate Pricebook
Load 15 core HVAC van parts (capacitors, contactors, ignitors, filters) in 1 tap. Adjust your supply costs or bump all customer flat-rate prices by +10% in 2 seconds.
Nameplate Scanner & 10-Yr Aging Radar
Decode Carrier, Goodman, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem serial numbers on the spot. Instantly see manufacture year, tonnage, suggested capacitor, and 10+ year replacement alerts.
Verified Tech Arrival Safety Badge
Automatically sends your headshot, EPA certification, state license, and service van description to the homeowner before you knock on the door.
1-Tap Seasonal Tune-Up Text Blasts
Upload your past customer list and fire off one Heating or Cooling text blast. Customers pick their own 2-hour arrival window with zero phone tag.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SERVICE VAN
Built By HVAC Pros, Reviewed By HVAC Pros
“Sent 140 past customers a Heating Tune-Up text blast on Monday night. Woke up Tuesday to 14 booked tune-ups—paid for a whole year of SecondMan HQ before I even started my van.”
“Drive-Time Voice Notes is a game changer. I talk for 20 seconds while pulling out of the driveway and it logs the 45/5 cap off my truck and texts the receipt. Never going back to Housecall Pro.”
“Used the 60-second Good-Better-Best Driveway Quote builder on a 14-year-old Goodman. Homeowner picked the middle $7,950 tier right on her phone before I packed up my gauges.”
“Is This Too Good to Be True? What's the Catch?”
Every HVAC contractor we talk to asks the same question: “If Housecall Pro and Jobber charge $250–$350/month and ServiceTitan charges $500+, how can you include all 8 HVAC tools for $100 ($85 for Founding 15) with zero upgrade fees?”
We don't pay 200 cold-call telemarketers, fancy Wall Street executives, or stadium sponsorships. You pay for fast, rock-solid HVAC software—not our corporate overhead.
Big apps charge you for 50-truck enterprise accounting modules you never touch. We built only the 8 money-making weapons a working tech actually uses in the driveway.
No 12-month hostage contracts. Try it in your truck for 7 days—if it doesn't save your evenings and book you jobs, cancel in 1 click for a 100% full refund.
STRAIGHT-TALK BLUE-COLLAR PRICING
The Price Is the Price. Never Pay an Upgrade Fee.
