Client Walkthrough for HVAC

The Client Walkthrough workflow supports HVAC contractors by ensuring clients are confident in system performance before project closeout. It includes reviewing installation details, demonstrating thermostat functions, checking airflow, and resolving punch list items. By following this process, HVAC companies reduce disputes, prevent warranty issues, and improve professionalism. Clients benefit from hands-on demonstrations and clear explanations of system operation. Teams gain accountability through documented feedback and sign-offs. With this workflow in place, HVAC contractors can protect profitability, improve trust, and deliver projects with smoother transitions to client ownership.
