Working on a property where another trade has already documented their systems? Everyone benefits from shared documentation. Less guessing, fewer surprises, better outcomes.
When a homeowner with HomeRunbook calls for service, you can review their entire system topology before you even start the van. Equipment specs, installation dates, previous service notes, connection diagrams—all of it, right on your phone.
When you finish a job, snap a photo and add a quick note. It takes 60 seconds and it changes everything. You now have a timestamped record of exactly what you did, what parts you used, and what the system looked like when you left.
When you show up prepared, fix it the first time, and leave behind professional documentation, you're not a commodity. You're the pro they tell their neighbors about. That's worth a premium—and clients are happy to pay it.
How knowing the system before you arrive changes everything about a service call.
The homeowner calls in a panic. The AC is blowing warm air and it's 98 degrees outside. They have HomeRunbook.
Before leaving the shop, you pull up the homeowner's HomeRunbook. Carrier 5-ton split system, installed 2019, R-410A, on a 40A breaker in slot 8. The capacitor was noted as "weak" at last year's tune-up. You grab a 45/5 MFD capacitor and a contactor, just in case.
You walk straight to the condenser knowing exactly where it is from the topology map. Multi-meter on the capacitor: dead. You already have the replacement on the truck. Diagnostic time: minutes instead of the usual guesswork.
Swap the capacitor, verify operation, check refrigerant charge (all specs are in HomeRunbook). System is cooling. You snap a photo of the new part, add a service note, and update the next maintenance date. Total time on-site: 25 minutes.
The homeowner is floored. "You showed up with the right part and fixed it in 25 minutes?" They leave a 5-star review that night and sign up for your annual maintenance plan. Two neighbors see the review and call you the following week.
"The difference between a good tech and a great tech isn't always skill—it's preparation. When you know what you're walking into, you look like a genius. HomeRunbook makes you look like a genius on every single call."
