Questions about estimates

Can customers approve HVAC estimates on their phone?

Yes. They open the estimate from the email, choose any options and accept it by typing their name. They don't need an account.

Does Tradesman set my prices?

No. You set every price. Tradesman keeps them in your pricebook so you can reuse them on the next estimate.

Can I turn an approved estimate into a job?

Yes. Convert it to a job, schedule it and assign your crew. The line items carry over to the invoice when the work is done.
