A clear invoice gets paid faster. Here's what to put on an HVAC invoice, a sample you can download, and a quicker way to make your own.

What to put on an HVAC invoice

  1. Your business name, phone, email and address, plus your GST/HST number if you're registered.
  2. The client's name and the job address.
  3. An invoice number and the invoice date, and a due date. 14 days is common for homeowners.
  4. The work, line by line: the equipment with its make, model and efficiency rating, installation labour, parts like the line set and pad, refrigerant, the permit and haul-away of the old unit.
  5. Subtotal, any discount, HST or GST and PST and the total.
  6. Any deposit already paid, and the balance still owing.
  7. How to pay: your Interac e-Transfer email and the invoice number to put in the message, or a cheque payee.
  8. Short terms, such as the due date and what happens if it's late.

Tips that get HVAC invoices paid

  • Write the model and serial number of every unit you install. The client needs them to register the warranty.
  • For repairs, list what you tested, what failed and the part you replaced, so the next visit starts with a record.
  • Show refrigerant by the pound on its own line. It's one of the first things clients ask about.
  • Offer a maintenance plan on the invoice. A yearly tune-up keeps the client coming back to you.
  • Note any rebate the client may qualify for, like a provincial or utility heat pump rebate, and keep the paperwork they'll need.
  • Reference the quote they accepted, so there are no surprises about the price.
  • Make paying easy. One tap to copy your e-Transfer email beats a bank number on paper.
  • Follow up on the due date and again a week later. A polite reminder is usually all it takes.
