FlatRateKit

What it does

FlatRateKit helps small residential HVAC contractors build flat-rate service prices from their own labor, parts, overhead, markup, and margin assumptions. It includes free labor-rate, profit-margin, and service-pricing calculators plus downloadable price-book templates. It is intentionally not a CRM, dispatch system, or national price database.

FlatRateKit is a free HVAC pricing toolkit for small contractors using their own labor, parts, overhead, markup, and margin assumptions.

No blank spreadsheets. No demo calls. No setup fees. Start with simple service templates, then price every job using your own labor rate, costs, markup, and margin rules. Include burden, vehicles, overhead, and billable utilization. Turn labor, parts, overhead, and margin into a clear HVAC flat rate price. Estimate burdened labor cost and billable shop rate before you price the job. Check gross margin, markup, and profit before a price goes live. Start from an Excel/CSV template for your HVAC price book and service price list. If you need a downloadable spreadsheet, start with the HVAC flat rate pricing template. If you need one approved service price, use the calculator. If technicians…from flatratekit.com

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
