HVAC Service Work Order
A complete HVAC service work order for commercial and residential calls — equipment identity, reported problem, diagnosis, full refrigerant-circuit and airflow readings, EPA-aligned refrigerant tracking, parts, labor, and a dual sign-off. Print it for the truck, copy it into your own paperwork, or use it as the checklist a tech works through on every call. Forz runs this same work order digitally: techs capture readings, before-and-after photos, and customer signatures from the iOS or Android app offline, pull job details from a job template, and tie recurring maintenance visits to a recurring schedule that auto-generates each job.

Any diagnostic target shown here (for example a total external static pressure near 0.5 in. w.c.) is a commonly cited starting point — always charge and verify superheat, subcooling, static pressure, and temperature rise against the equipment manufacturer's nameplate, charging chart, and published specifications for the specific unit and metering device. Refrigerant recordkeeping requirements vary by refrigerant type and appliance charge. EPA Section 608 covers regulated refrigerants, and under the AIM Act the leak-repair and recordkeeping framework applies to HFC appliances at lower charge thresholds (commonly cited as 15 lbs as of January 1, 2026); leak-rate calculations are generally required whenever refrigerant is added, and records are typically kept for at least three years. Only EPA 608-certified technicians may open the refrigerant circuit. Editions and locally adopted amendments vary; verify scope and frequencies with your AHJ and the adopted edition. This template is a starting point, not the standard, and does not replace inspection, testing, or charging procedures performed by qualified personnel.
