Who this template is for

HVAC Service Request Form is built for builders, electricians, plumbers and contractors who need to scope a job and price it without a site visit for every enquiry.

Builders, electricians, plumbers and contractors working in home services & trades.
Teams who need to scope a job and price it without a site visit for every enquiry without writing code or paying for a custom build.
Anyone replacing quoting blind and travelling out for work that never lands with one structured record per enquiry.
Respondents are homeowners and site managers — the form asks them 16 questions across 3 screens.
Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of quoting blind and travelling out for work that never lands and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

8 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
It pins the request to a specific date.
It captures a full postal address.
It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

Features conditional hiding: if “What do you need?” is New system installation, “Is this a no-heat or no-cooling emergency?” is removed from the form and is never submitted.
Features advanced show logic: if “Is this a no-heat or no-cooling emergency?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “How long has the system been out?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
Features advanced show logic: if “What do you need?” is not New system installation, the form dynamically exposes “System age”. Otherwise that question never appears.
All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

An HVAC call center lives or dies on triage: a no-cooling call in July needs same-day dispatch, a routine tune-up does not, and a new install request needs a completely different conversation than either. This form sorts all three before the phone rings. Customers first say whether they need a repair, a new system install or scheduled maintenance, and the system age, brand and last service date branch in only for repair and maintenance requests. A dedicated 'no heat or no cooling' toggle flags true emergencies so dispatch can push them to the front of the queue regardless of when they were submitted, while install enquiries skip straight to square footage and current system type since pricing there depends on load calculations, not symptoms. Photos of the outdoor unit or furnace nameplate let a technician pre-diagnose model-specific issues before the truck rolls, and a property type question (single-family, multifamily, condo) sets expectations on access and permits. The result is a queue you can actually prioritize instead of a pile of undifferentiated 'AC not working' messages.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 3 conditional rules, grouped into 3 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “What do you need?”

Hides questions
If “What do you need?” is New system installation, the form hides “Is this a no-heat or no-cooling emergency?”, so nobody answers questions that don't apply.
Reveals questions
If “What do you need?” is not New system installation, the form reveals “System age”.

Driven by “Is this a no-heat or no-cooling emergency?”

Reveals questions
If “Is this a no-heat or no-cooling emergency?” is Yes, the form reveals “How long has the system been out?”.

Set it up step by step

1
Route emergencies first
Send an alert to dispatch whenever the no-cooling/no-heat toggle is Yes so those calls jump the queue automatically.
2
Pre-diagnose from the photo
Have a technician glance at the nameplate photo before the truck rolls so they arrive with the right part on the van.
3
Separate install leads from repair tickets
Route 'New system installation' submissions to a sales estimator instead of the repair dispatch board.
4
Confirm the window by text
Send a confirmation with the arrival window immediately so customers don't call back to check.

Mistakes to avoid

Treating every submission the same instead of prioritizing the no-heat/no-cooling toggle.
Skipping system age and brand, which forces a callback before the technician can even prep the truck.
Not separating install quotes from repair tickets, which sends load-calculation leads to the wrong queue.

Frequently asked questions

How does this handle emergency no-cooling calls?

The emergency toggle is asked up front and a follow-up question captures how long the system has been down, so dispatch can flag and prioritize true emergencies without a phone call.

Can I use this for commercial HVAC too?

Yes — property type includes a commercial option, though for larger commercial systems you may want to add a question about the number of rooftop units.

Does it work for install quotes as well as repairs?

Yes. Selecting 'New system installation' hides the repair-specific questions like system age and shows the square footage and system-type questions instead.

Can customers upload a photo from their phone?

Yes, the file upload works directly from a phone camera roll, which is how most nameplate and unit photos come in.
