Replacement Radar + Warranty Countdown
The $10,000 install you spent ten years setting up stays yours.
$1,497 · $349/mo
The Warranty Countdown adds $497 setup and $299/mo. It's an add-on only, never sold standalone, because it needs the Radar's registry.
“I've had my hands on a thousand units in this county and I couldn't tell you where one of them is today. The customer's unit finally dies and some other guy gets the $10,000 install I spent ten years setting up.”
What it is
A registry of every unit you've ever installed or serviced, built from your own old invoices, so your techs never fill out a thing. When a unit ages into replacement range it lands on your Monday board with the proposal already written, and you hit send. The Countdown add-on writes customers before their parts warranty runs out.
What you get
An equipment registry backfilled from your old invoices in one two-hour screen-share during week one
New units captured automatically from your invoice feed, with nameplate photos filling only the gaps
Unit ages decoded from serial numbers brand by brand, with unknowns flagged rather than guessed or pitched
A monthly ranked aging-units board with one-tap send-proposal buttons
Every proposal stays a draft until you approve it, and your tap is the only send button
A units-added-this-week line on every owner email, so you watch the book grow
The Countdown add-on, with 90-day and 30-day warranty letters carrying a booking link, sent in owner-approved batches
Exact warranty dates used only where your records prove you installed and registered the unit
How it lands
The backfill
Export your invoice history, which QuickBooks, Jobber, and Housecall Pro all do free. After one two-hour screen-share in week one, the registry holds years of units.
The book grows itself
Your invoice feed carries model and serial on most installs and many repairs, so the registry grows with zero behavior change from your crew. Jobs missing unit data get a reply-with-a-photo nudge.
The Monday board
On the first Monday of the month you get your aging units, ranked, each with a one-tap send-proposal button. A proposal reaches a customer only after you approve it.
The Countdown (add-on)
A nightly scan finds parts warranties closing in 90 and 30 days. You approve each weekly batch before it mails, and every letter carries a booking link back to you.
The registry is backfilled in week one from your old invoices, and your first ranked aging-units board lands the first Monday of the month.
The honest math
One changeout off the list is $3,000 gross, a $10,000 install at 30% margin, which covers ten months of the fee in a single job. Three in year one is $9,000 against $5,685 all-in, counting the $1,497 setup plus twelve months at $349. Only proposal-triggered installs count, so every install on the tally was headed to some other company.
Year-one math includes the setup fee. Check any figure on this page with a calculator and it will hold.
The questions owners actually ask
My techs won't fill out forms.
They don't fill out anything. Most of the book gets built from your old invoices before any tech lifts a finger, and new units ride in on the invoice feed. Worst case is one picture of the nameplate sticker, the same photos they already take, and if you want more coverage you can put a $5-per-nameplate bounty on it.
How do you know how old a unit is?
The serial number, decoded against a hand-built rules table for each brand, since Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Trane and the rest all encode dates differently. Anything the rules can't parse gets flagged as age unknown, to be confirmed on the next visit, and is never scored or pitched. A replacement pitch fired at a four-year-old unit would cost you a customer, so guessing is banned by written rule.
What if a warranty letter gets the date wrong?
It can't reach a customer with a date it can't prove. The exact 'your parts warranty ends on this date' wording goes only where your own records show you installed and registered the unit. Everyone else gets honest age-window wording, which says units your age typically leave parts coverage between years 5 and 10, so bring your paperwork and we'll check it on the visit.
Can I buy just the Warranty Countdown?
No, because sold alone it carries a hidden $1,497 asterisk. It needs the registry to know whose warranty is ending, so the Radar builds the book and the Countdown works it. That's why it's an add-on, priced as one.
Won't it tick off my customers?
A letter that says your parts stop being free next month, so come fix it now, is a favor to them. It's the opposite of the $1,800-compressor phone call nobody wants to make. Every batch is owner-approved, and a batch you don't approve never mails.
