FieldEdge is a mature residential-HVAC service platform. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with MEPSub — the all-in-one platform built by an MEP/HVAC contractor to run both your project and field-service work.
MEPSub is transparently priced and month-to-month, adds AI assist and the construction side FieldEdge has none of — a better fit for MEP subs and lean/1099 shops.
On the other hand: For pure residential HVAC service, FieldEdge's flat-rate pricebook and membership machinery run deep.
