## What it is for
Maintenance agreements are the business. Everything else is weather.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a hvac service & installation business
who is currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xHVACx replaces that with one record per customer and
one record per job, carried from intake through pricing, dispatch, proof of
work, invoice and settlement.

## Category
Maintenance & Repair — Diagnosis before labor. Margin lives in the truck stock and in how fast a
first visit becomes a closed job.

## What the platform assesses
Nameplate photo plus symptom text narrows the fault, prices the flat-rate
repair, and models repair-versus-replace.

The assessment never sets prices. Quantities come from what was measured or
counted; rates come from the operator's own book. That is what makes two
people pricing the same job land on the same number.

## How work is priced
flat-rate repair book, tonnage-based install, membership per system

## Records the workspace keeps
- Equipment record: make, model, serial, install date, warranty
- Flat-rate repair book with option tiers
- Maintenance agreement with visit schedule
- Truck stock and parts-on-hand by van
- Load calculation and install proposal

## Workflows it ships with
- Emergency intake → dispatch by skill → flat-rate options presented on site
- Spring and fall maintenance visits auto-generated from agreements
- Repair-versus-replace proposal with financing options
- Warranty claim filed against the manufacturer record

- Premium surfaces unlock individually — monthly, or a 24-hour unlock.
- Credits: $20 for 500 XDK, spendable across any surface. Balance carries.
- Multi-branch and own-domain deployments are quoted per market.

There is no published per-seat subscription tier for this vertical. Any figure
quoted elsewhere as a xSERVICESx monthly price is not ours. Ask.

## Frequently asked
### Is xHVACx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xHVACx is the hvac service & installation configuration of the Biz Dev App
— the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with the 16
modules and 5 record types this trade actually uses. If the business later
adds a second line of work, it does not mean a second subscription; it means
another vertical switched on in the same workspace.

### How does xHVACx price a job?
On flat-rate repair book, tonnage-based install, membership per system. The
basis lives in the workspace rather than in an estimator's head, so the same
job quoted by two people produces the same number. Your own rates, your own
catalogue — the platform supplies the structure and the arithmetic, never the
prices.

### What does it connect to that we already use?
Distributor catalogs, Financing providers, Stripe, QuickBooks are wired first,
because those are what a hvac service & installation business is usually
already running. Anything else goes through the xCONNECTx public API catalogue
rather than a custom build.

### What happens to the data we already have?
It comes in. The archive import pipeline takes historical customers, jobs and
invoices and lands them as real records — searchable, reportable, attached to
the right customer — rather than as a folder of PDFs nobody opens. The point
of moving is to keep the last five years, not to start over.

## Built on Biz Dev App
xHVACx is one of 74 service verticals on the Biz Dev App — the operating
system for the AI economy. The leading and trailing x are platform brackets:
Cross-Connect Protocol in, Cross-Connect Protocol out. Every vertical shares
one identity, one ledger (XODIAK) and one settlement rail, so a business that
runs two lines of work runs them in one workspace rather than two
subscriptions.
