NexusCRM · Electricians & HVAC Edition
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.
Updated August 2026 · Prices in CAD · *Average reduction in weekly admin time across NexusAI GTA client deployments.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
AI in the field
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.
Every AI action runs with your confirmation, cost caps, and a full before/after audit trail.
Day in the life
A Tuesday in shoulder season — service calls in the morning, install quotes in the gaps, and the books keeping themselves.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
