Sildair vs QuickBooks Online
Your service work and your books need different tools.
Sildair runs your HVAC operations. QuickBooks Online stays your accounting authority. They complement each other — Sildair is not a replacement for your general ledger.
Different responsibilities
What belongs where?
Compare their roles in a Sildair workflow, not every feature or edition QuickBooks offers. QuickBooks plans and accounting setup are managed separately.
Customers & service sites
Sildair
Customer records, billing addresses, properties and HVAC equipment tied to service work.
QuickBooks Online
Accounting customer records and transaction history.
Scheduling & field work
Sildair
Solo personal calendar; Team and up add technician dispatch, day/week schedules, conflict checks and technician-updated job status.
QuickBooks Online
Use Sildair for the HVAC dispatch and service workflow described here.
Estimates & invoices
Sildair
Build operational documents from your price book and line items; review and approve eligible invoices before sync.
QuickBooks Online
Remains authoritative for posted accounting transactions and accounts receivable.
Job costs & margins
Sildair
Track recorded job costs. Owners can reveal invoice margin estimates; missing costs and tax are labeled.
QuickBooks Online
Remains authoritative for the general ledger and accounting results. An operational margin is not accounting profit.
Sync & reconciliation
Sildair
Business adds mappings, a sync queue, duplicate protection, failure details and reconciliation review.
QuickBooks Online
Receives eligible records through a configured, verified connection; differences require review, not automatic balance adjustments.
Exports & nightly preparation
Sildair
Business review exports in CSV/JSON; optional nightly preparation queues eligible records and shows results.
QuickBooks Online
Review files are not native QuickBooks import templates. Nightly preparation does not automatically post or reconcile.
QuickBooks tools belong to Business
Solo covers core service work with a personal calendar. Team adds full dispatch. Business adds QuickBooks sync and reconciliation, multi-branch operations and on-demand drive-time suggestions when routing is configured. Reading this comparison does not require a paid plan.
See all plan pricesBefore relying on a connection
Integration testing uses the QuickBooks sandbox. A plan or this page does not prove your company is connected or ready for production. Complete authorization, a successful health check, mapping review and end-to-end acceptance checks first.
Unconfigured or unverified connections stay idle. Posting remains manual and review-first; nightly preparation only queues eligible records. Review exports are not native QuickBooks import files.
