The unit is still the unit.
The change-order is where you make rent.
The change-order on the rooftop unit that died in someone's email. The maintenance contract you couldn't honor because dispatch didn't know the technician was certified. Forge is the chest a working HVAC contractor builds for himself — and shares with the operators who refuse to use tools that don't work.
The drawers that matter most
when the truck door opens.
EPA Section 608, NATE, factory-cert routing. The right technician on the right call. The dispatch board respects the certs — no exceptions, no overrides.
The unit got upsized in the field. The change-order writes itself off the install ticket. The customer signs from the truck. The PM doesn't need to know — until it lands in their P&L next morning.
Maintenance contracts, PM intervals, refrigerant ledger, filter cycles — all in one chest. The recurring revenue book is honest, not a pile of spreadsheets.
Manual J, Manual D, Manual S native to the federation. Replace-vs-repair logic the homeowner can read. The bid is defensible because it shows the math.
Hyperion for HVAC scans mechanical rooms — duct geometry, equipment counts, clearance calcs. The drawer is in development. Charter members get it first.
“The first HVAC Charter member writes their own quote here.”
The honest answers,
without the sales gloss.
Forge is the chest. Estimating, dispatch, CRM, recurring contracts, refrigerant tracking, certified payroll, and Hyperion are all native modules in one federation. ServiceTitan is a CRM-and-dispatch tool that integrates with everything else. The architecture is different, and the operator who notices that is the operator Forge is built for.
Refrigerant is a first-class ledger in the federation. Cylinder ID, technician cert, charge added, charge recovered, leak rate per piece of equipment. The annual EPA compliance report runs in minutes. The audit trail is automatic.
Native to the estimating module. Heat loss / heat gain, duct sizing, equipment sizing — all generated from the project's building data, not pasted from a separate tool. The bid shows the math because the math is the bid.
$27,000 prepaid for 36 months — $750/month equivalent, locked forever. Public list rises to $1,499 then $1,999. One HVAC Charter seat is open. The badge goes to the first operator who applies.

filled.
Charter is the operator who builds with the new tools first. Ten seats across all trades. Locked when filled. The rate doesn't move — ever — while the public list rises around you.
The needs have been the same for 4,000 years.
Comfort is one of the oldest needs. Forge is the chest for the operator who delivers it.
