For HVAC technicians

Mileage receipts for HVAC service calls

Preventive maintenance, install and emergency.

HVAC techs have extreme seasonality (summer/winter). Each maintenance is deductible.

Common pains

• Extreme seasonality — Summer concentrates calls.
• EPA-regulated disposal — Refrigerant requires separate disposal.
• Scheduled preventive maintenance — Low volume makes it easy to forget.

Best practices

• Log refrigerant disposal separately — EPA may audit.
• Use WO number in purpose — Internal audit.
• Separate install from maintenance — Distinct cost centers.
