The change-out quote that went out nine days after the visit.

A Gainesville company. Free first call, in English or Spanish. We usually call back the same business day.

What we automate in an AC and heating shop

Most fixes land in what you already use: Excel, QuickBooks, your job app or a tool we build.

  • Home warranty dispatches and builder work orders, read from the emailed PDF into your job list.
  • A photo of the unit's label at booking, read into the job, so the right part rides on the truck.
  • Refrigerant pounds in the tech's notes, checked against the invoice for your OK.
  • Warranty parts matched to the supply house's credit, so you don't pay full price for a covered part.
  • Financed change-outs on one list until the lender pays, with a nudge to you when the customer hasn't signed off.
  • Change-out permits checked on Citizenserve and PermitGNV until the final inspection passes.

On the walk, we find which of these your shop has. See the full list for AC and heating

For shops the owner runs, with one person in the office or none.

What you keep Keep Jobber, Housecall Pro or whatever runs your dispatch. We work on everything around it.

How it works

You can stop after any of them.

  1. Today

    Free

    A free call, by phone. You tell us where the week goes. We tell you plainly whether a walk would pay for itself.

  2. The walk

    Paid

    A visit to your business, and a look at your records.

    The walk starts at $500. Bigger businesses get a quote on the free call. Start a fix of $1,500 or more within 30 days and the walk fee comes off its price.

    Not worth it to you? Text or email us within 7 days of the call where you go over your sheet, and you get the walk fee back.

  3. Your sheet

    Every problem in dollars, usually within a week of getting your records. You keep it either way.

  4. Then, only if you want

    Paid

    One fix, priced before work starts, and a monthly check you can cancel any month.

Night jobs billed at the after-hours rate, with the truck's restock on the morning list.

If you take night jobs in summer, the line forwards to whoever is on call that week, with a card in English and Spanish. The next workday, the part the truck used is on your list.

Before Every summer night call lands on your cell, the job is charged at the day rate, and the capacitor that came off the truck never gets replaced.

On-call cardSpanish on the back

Gas smell: everyone out, then call the gas company or 911. Sparks, smoke, a burning smell or a medical emergency: call 911 first.

No cooling and someone at risk in the heat, like a baby, an older person or someone sick: we come tonight. Otherwise, thermostat on Cool, a photo of the outdoor unit's label, and the first slot tomorrow. Water dripping from the indoor unit: turn the system off at the thermostat.

Who walks your business

Most owners I meet lose their evenings to the same few jobs: the quote typed up at night, the invoice that never went out, the call nobody got back to.

Before Lumora I did the paperwork at a water damage company, and I automated most of it. Now Lumora walks businesses around Gainesville and does the same.

I speak English and Spanish, so your office can work in either.
