One standard, one book
The office and the trucks quote plumbing and HVAC from the same labor, margin, and presentation rules. That is the combined book.
One book or two
When a Dual-Trade Contractor Needs One Price Book
One book when the same company sells plumbing and HVAC tasks at one price standard. Two books when the trades are priced separately.
If both trades share that standard, start with the combined book. If they are priced apart, use the plumbing book or the HVAC book. This page does not sell a file. The purchase stays on those pages.
The decision
Same company is not the same as one price standard
A shop can sell both trades and still run two pricing systems. Buy for the system you actually use.
Separate standards, two books
Plumbing and HVAC keep different labor rates or margins, or one trade is only a side line. Buy the plumbing book, the HVAC book, or both as separate files.
This page does not sell the files
There is no sample and no download here. Use this page to choose, then buy on the book page that matches the shop.
A quick test
Three questions before you buy
If you cannot answer the first one with a yes, do not start with the combined book.
Do both trades use one price?
A drain call and a no-cool call should follow the same rules for labor, parts assumptions, and how the tech presents the number. If they do, one book fits.
Or does each trade keep its own?
Different crews, different margins, or a second trade that is still being priced by feel. Keep the books separate until those standards match.
Is the second trade real work?
If the trucks mostly do plumbing, or mostly do HVAC, buy the book for that work. A company name that covers both trades is not a reason to buy both.
What you are buying
The combined book is both full sets
These are the one-time prices on the product pages. The combined set is not a shortened pack, and it is not a monthly quoting subscription.
Both trades, one purchase
The Plumbing and HVAC Price Book Bundle is $499. It includes every file from both books: spreadsheet files, task calculators, excavation tools, vendor parts lists, import builders, and training videos. That is $99 less than buying the two $299 books separately.
Plumbing book alone
The plumbing book is $299. Full and light files, task and excavation calculators, import tools, and training. Use it when plumbing is priced on its own.
HVAC book alone
The HVAC book is $299. Full and light files, a task calculator, a vendor parts list, import tools, and training. Use it when HVAC is priced on its own.

Before you pick a book
When is one book the right buy?
When the same company sells plumbing and HVAC tasks at one price standard. The combined book is the $499 package for that case.
When should the trades stay in separate books?
When plumbing and HVAC are priced separately, or when the company only needs one of them. Each single-trade book is $299.
Is the combined book a shorter version of the two books?
No. It includes every file from both price books. You get the full plumbing set and the full HVAC set together.
Does this page include a file to download?
No. This page only helps you choose. The purchase stays on the combined book page, the plumbing book page, or the HVAC book page.
One standard, one book. Separate standards, separate books.
If both trades share a price standard, the combined book is the next page. If they do not, open the plumbing book or the HVAC book.
