From $45 a month with every feature. Month to month.

How a job runs

From the first call to the review, each step sets up the next.

  1. Booked while you work

    Homeowners request a visit at any hour, on a booking page in your name and colors. The office picks the day, window, and tech, and the confirmation goes out.

    Walsh Heating & Cooling's booking page on a phone: Book a visit, with Nadia Petrov's name and mobile number filled in.

  2. On the way, and they know it

    A reminder the day before, then an on-my-way message with the tech's first name and arrival window, so they're home when the truck pulls up.

    Dana's text thread on a phone: the reminder the day before her visit, and Chris's on-my-way text with the arrival window.

  3. Estimates signed on site

    Build good, better, best from your price book at the unit. They sign on your phone or theirs, before they call anyone else.

    The signing card on a phone: approve Better for $10,849.80, the name Dana Kowalski, and a signature.

  4. Deposit on the spot

    Approving a replacement creates the deposit invoice. They pay by card or check right there, and the install is ready to book.

    The homeowner's quote page after approval: thanks, one more step, and the $1,297.38 deposit with a Pay by card button.

  5. Paid before the truck leaves

    Tap Complete and the invoice goes out, payable by card from a link or QR code once Stripe is connected. Reminders on days 3, 7, and 14 chase anything unpaid.

    An invoice on the tech's phone: $265.55 due, and a QR code the homeowner scans to pay by card.

  6. Reviews and repeat work

    Two hours after the invoice is paid, a review request goes out while the job is fresh. Eleven months later, a recall invites them back for a tune-up.

    A customer's scheduled messages: a review request and a review nudge, two quote follow-ups, a visit reminder, and the annual recall, all by text.

See what needs you

The dashboard opens on five numbers: quotes sent, approval rate, revenue, what is unpaid, and this week's jobs. Under them, the requests, jobs, and deposits waiting on you, and today's visits by tech.

Book the week in one place

Booking requests wait beside the week with the problem and the system's age. Pick the day, window, and tech, and the confirmation goes out.

The headaches, handled

What gets in the way of a residential HVAC shop, and how Rusti.Red handles it.

  • A bigger plan for every feature?

    Every feature on every plan

    Follow-ups, good, better, best, review requests, recalls, and online booking are on both plans, with nothing to unlock.

  • No signal at the unit?

    The quote still gets signed

    Today's jobs stay on the phone. Quotes, signatures, photos, notes, and cash or check payments wait in a queue and send when the signal is back.

  • Chasing quotes and invoices by hand?

    Follow-ups that go out on their own

    Quote follow-ups on days 2 and 7, invoice reminders on days 3, 7, and 14, and a review request after payment. From your own number once the carriers approve it, by email until then.

  • Software built for every trade?

    Built for residential HVAC

    Good, better, best replacements, a deposit invoice the moment they sign, equipment records with a data plate photo, and a recall eleven months after the job.

  • The truck and the office on different screens?

    One app, on the phone and at the desk

    The owner, the office, and every tech use the same app, fitted to their screen. Techs see their own jobs, and the office sees everything.

  • Weeks of setup before the first quote?

    Running before your next service call

    An HVAC price book and quote templates come filled in, and your customers and price book come over from a Jobber or Housecall Pro CSV. Techs join from a texted link.

  3. Text your techs an invite. They open the link, set a password, and see their day.

  4. Start new jobs here the same day. Past jobs, quotes, invoices, and payments stay in your old tool, so keep that login until its last invoice is paid.
