20,000 HVAC Miles a Year, Logged Automatically.
A busy HVAC tech can drive 20,000 business miles a year between installs and service calls — about $14,500 in estimated deductions at the 2026 IRS rate. FSM Navigator logs every one automatically, right inside the field service software your shop already runs on.

Estimates based on the 2026 IRS business standard rate of $0.725/mile. Your actual deduction depends on your logged business miles.
The miles your HVAC techs drive don't track themselves
Service calls all over the map
A no-cool call across town, an install on the other side of the county, then back for a part — a single HVAC day is dozens of deductible miles nobody writes down.
Reconstructed logs don't hold up
A mileage log pieced together in April is exactly what the IRS questions. Contemporaneous, GPS-based records are the kind your accountant actually wants on file.
A second app to babysit
Standalone mileage apps mean another login and another bill — and miles that live nowhere near the HVAC jobs and customers they belong to.
What if every dispatch logged its own miles — right alongside the job?

Mileage tracking built for HVAC shops
Every service call captured
Tracking starts when a tech marks an install or service call En Route and ends on Arrived. Every dispatch becomes a logged mile — no buttons, no forgetting.
Tied to the job & customer
Because the drive belongs to a dispatch, every mile is linked to the HVAC job it served and the customer behind it — data a standalone tracker simply can't see.
IRS-ready records + year-end CSV
Date, business purpose, and miles for every trip — contemporaneous, GPS-based records you can export as a CSV when it's time to file.
Classify in a single tap
In the trip log, mark any drive business, commute, or personal with one tap. Fix a trip's type in seconds — that supply-house run stays a deduction.
Your service van, tagged
Each tech picks their vehicle type once — car, van, truck, box truck, motorcycle, or bicycle — and every trip is tagged to it.
Offline-first
Captures miles in attics, mechanical rooms, and rural job sites. Trips sync the moment your technician is back online.
From dispatch to deduction in three steps
Mark En Route
Your tech taps En Route when they head out to the call. FSM Navigator starts logging the drive automatically — nothing to remember.
Arrive
Marking the job Arrived closes the trip. The miles are calculated on-device and linked to the job and its customer as a contemporaneous record.
Export your year-end records
At tax time, export a complete CSV — every trip, every vehicle, every technician — to hand straight to your accountant.
Every drive to an HVAC job, captured and ready for tax time — without a single manual entry.
