FieldEdge Flat Rate (formerly Coolfront Mobile) has been a staple flat-rate pricing app for HVAC service techs since its launch in 1999, when it started as a printed flat-rate pricing guide and parts-and-repair database. It evolved into a mobile-first app that lets techs look up any HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or appliance repair, pull pricing, and generate a work order in seconds on a phone or tablet. The database is enormous - over 30,000 repairs and 16,000 parts - and is continuously updated with equipment and pricing changes.
The pricing model is distinctive: FieldEdge Flat Rate is a zero-cost subscription that charges only per work order generated. For HVAC shops that run a moderate volume of service tickets, that can be materially cheaper than per-user seat licenses on other pricebook tools. Techs get a work-order app that handles the full flow from arrival to checkout: look up the repair, present the flat-rate price to the homeowner, capture signature, and close the ticket with consistent branded paperwork.
After being acquired and merged with FieldEdge, the product is now sold as FieldEdge Flat Rate Mobile. It still functions as a standalone app for shops that use other FSMs, and it integrates natively with FieldEdge to push work orders and pricing updates back into dispatch and billing. It remains one of the most widely used HVAC-specific flat-rate pricing tools in the residential trades.
