NexusCRM · Electricians & HVAC Edition

The CRM for electricians & HVAC contractors

NexusCRM is an electrician CRM and HVAC service software for Canadian contractors. It turns a recorded site walk into a priced quote, keeps ESA inspection days locked on a synced calendar, drops supply-house receipts onto a live job P&L, and runs quotes, invoices, and crews at one flat price — $425/month, unlimited users.

FORGED IN THE FIELD — NexusCRM was built inside a real GTA contracting business and battle-tested in daily operations before it was ever offered for sale. Trades software, written by people who invoice trades work.

Sound familiar?

Where do electrical & HVAC shops bleed money?

Between the quote backlog, inspection-day chaos, and receipts riding around in the dash of the van. Service calls keep the lights on — installs and retrofits make the money, and that's exactly where the paperwork breaks down.

The quote backlog kills install revenue

You ran eight service calls today, and the three panel-upgrade estimates from last week are still in a notebook in the van. Every unsent quote is a $6,000 job the shop across town sends first — because their estimator wasn't also the guy on the ladder.

ESA inspection day is a coin flip

Rough-in inspection booked Thursday morning — but your licensed tech is on a no-cool call in Vaughan and the homeowner forgot to be home. A blown inspection window stalls the close-in, the drywaller, and your next progress payment.

You find out the margin in February

The heat-pump retrofit felt profitable. But the counter slips from the supply house, the apprentice's hours in the group chat, and the condenser on a monthly statement don't reconcile until tax time — long after next season is already priced wrong.

Purpose-built, not generic

What makes NexusCRM an electrician CRM — not a generic one?

It's built around how electrical contractor and HVAC work actually flows: quick service tickets, multi-day installs, permit-gated retrofits — each handled the way you run them, in one system. The same platform doubles as your HVAC CRM: no-heat calls, changeouts, and cold-climate heat-pump retrofits share the pipeline with your electrical work.

Service vs install
  • One pipeline, two speeds: a troubleshooting call is quoted and invoiced same-day; a 200A service upgrade gets milestones, crews, and progress billing
  • Lead-source ROI shows whether the EV-charger Google ads or word-of-mouth no-heat calls actually pay
  • Automated follow-up reminders so the "we'll think about it" panel quotes get chased without you remembering
  • Full customer history — every panel, furnace, AC, and heat pump you've touched at that address
Good / better / best
  • Multi-option quotes: 100A panel swap · 200A upgrade · 200A + EV-ready circuit — the customer taps the one they want
  • Same for HVAC: mid-efficiency furnace · two-stage · cold-climate heat pump with backup
  • One-tap online acceptance with an immutable signed snapshot — timestamp and IP locked
  • Acceptance auto-creates the invoice, the project, and the schedule entry. Zero retyping
ESA inspection days
  • Rough-in and final inspection dates live on the job schedule, not in someone's head
  • Multi-account Google Calendar sync — every licensed tech sees inspection holds in their own calendar
  • Automated day-before reminders so the homeowner is actually home for the inspector
  • Crew assignments keep service calls from double-booking your inspection-day tech
Supply-house receipts
  • Photograph the counter slip — breakers, wire, a condenser — AI vision itemizes it onto the job's P&L
  • Recoverable HST tracked natively, line by line
  • Live per-job profit: revenue, labour, materials, expenses — see the real margin before the job closes
  • Four crew pay models plus payroll and commissions, so the apprentice's hours land on the job too
On the roadmap
  • Recurring jobs for maintenance contracts and seasonal tune-up plans — shipping soon
  • SMS reminders and online card payments — on the roadmap; email automation and payment schedules today
  • Customer self-booking and GPS time clock — on the roadmap
  • We publish the roadmap honestly — no vapourware checkboxes. See everything that's live today

AI in the field

What does the AI do on a service upgrade?

It writes the quote before you're out of the driveway. Walk the panel, talk through what you see — mast condition, run to the meter base, EV circuit the customer asked about — and NexusCRM drafts priced line items from your own quoting history.

  • Voice-to-quote — record the site walk; get a draft quote grounded in your past panel-upgrade and changeout prices
  • AI Bid Advisor — margin checked against your price sheets and up to 25 similar completed jobs before you hit send
  • Receipt capture — supply-house slips photographed straight onto the job P&L
  • AI assistant — "book the final inspection hold for Thursday" — every action confirmed and logged

Every AI action runs with your confirmation, cost caps, and a full before/after audit trail.

Day in the life

What does a day on NexusCRM look like?

A Tuesday in shoulder season — service calls in the morning, install quotes in the gaps, and the books keeping themselves.

7:10 — No-cool call lands in the pipeline

The web form hits your pipeline with source attribution before your coffee's done. Follow-up timers start automatically; nobody has to "remember to call them back."

9:40 — Panel upgrade estimate, quoted from the driveway

You walk the panel, record two minutes of voice notes, and a good/better/best quote drafts itself from your own past pricing. Review, adjust, send — before the next call.

12:15 — Homeowner accepts the 200A option on their phone

One tap. The invoice, the project, and the schedule entry create themselves; the ESA inspection hold goes on the calendar; the customer gets their portal link.

3:30 — Supply house run, receipt on the P&L in 20 seconds

Photograph the counter slip in the parking lot. Breakers, wire, and the surge device are itemized onto the job with recoverable HST tracked — no shoebox, no February surprise.

5:00 — Margins checked, hours logged, done

The live P&L shows the upgrade tracking at 41% margin. The apprentice's hours are on the job, payroll knows about them, and you're home for dinner instead of doing quotes.

Straight answers

Electrician & HVAC CRM questions

How much does a CRM for electricians and HVAC contractors cost in Canada?

NexusCRM is flat-priced in CAD with unlimited users: Core is $295/month plus $2,950 one-time implementation, Pro is $425/month plus $5,500, and Elite is $795/month plus $9,800. Annual prepay earns 2 months free.

Full breakdown on the pricing page.

Can one system handle service calls, installs, and panel upgrade projects?

Yes. A $340 troubleshooting call and a multi-day 200A service upgrade or heat-pump retrofit live in the same pipeline but flow differently: quick tickets get quoted and invoiced same-day, while projects get multi-option quotes, milestone scheduling across days, crew assignments, and a live per-job P&L. Lead-source analytics tell you whether the EV-charger ads or the no-heat calls are actually paying.

Does NexusCRM handle HVAC maintenance contracts and recurring service?

Recurring jobs are on the roadmap and shipping soon. Today, you can track maintenance customers with automated follow-up reminders, book seasonal tune-ups on the shared calendar with Google Calendar sync, and keep every furnace, AC, and heat-pump install's full history on the customer record — so when recurring jobs land, your data is already in place.

How does voice-to-quote work for a panel upgrade or heat-pump install?

Record the site walk on your phone — panel location, mast condition, run lengths, tonnage, ductwork notes. NexusCRM transcribes it, matches the customer, and drafts a priced quote with line items grounded in your own historical quotes — your panel-upgrade prices, not generic book rates. You review and adjust before sending, and the AI Bid Advisor checks the margin against your price sheets and up to 25 similar completed jobs.

Can it keep ESA inspection days under control?

NexusCRM doesn't file your ESA permits for you, but it keeps inspection days from colliding with everything else: rough-in and final inspection dates sit on the job schedule, sync to every licensed tech's Google Calendar across multiple accounts, and automated day-before reminders go out so the customer is actually home when the inspector arrives.

Do we pay per user for every apprentice and office admin?

No. Every tier includes unlimited users — journeypersons, apprentices, office staff, and subcontractors all get logins with role-based access across 4 roles. On per-user platforms a growing crew means a growing bill; NexusCRM stays flat. Your data also lives on a dedicated private instance with its own database, with Canadian hosting available.

Live in two weeks. Not two months.
