What every refrigeration estimate needs
- Your business name, contact details and license number
- Estimate number, date and how long the price is valid
- Clear options (good, better, best) with what each includes
- Warranty terms and any permit or inspection fees
- Deposit required, if any
- A place for the customer to approve and sign
Pricing refrigeration work
- Price emergency and after-hours work with a separate rate or multiplier that covers on-call pay, overtime and the work you bump. Publish it in the service agreement.
- Price PM agreements per unit per visit: (visit labor hours + drive time) × loaded hourly cost + materials (filters, coil cleaner, belts), then divide by (1 − target margin).
- Price refrigerant per pound from current replacement cost, not what's in the cylinder you bought last year. Review it whenever supplier prices change.
- For multi-site customers, agree on a rate sheet and NTE limits up front, and quote anything above the NTE before proceeding.
