Know which gas jobs really pay.
Boiler installs, annual services, breakdown callouts, landlord CP12s — all different margins, lumped together by most software. MarginPal tracks each job's real margin separately and the AI knows the difference when commenting on patterns.
What's eating your margin as a gas engineer?
Annual service margin is invisible without per-job tracking
A £90 service after the parts and the drive sounds tight, but you don't know how tight without the numbers in front of you. MarginPal closes that loop — every service ends with a real margin number you can compare across customers.
Breakdown callouts feel profitable but rarely are
A £150 callout sounds great until you log the round trip, the £40 of fittings, and the morning it cost. MarginPal shows you the real margin per callout so you can decide whether the rate's right.
Boiler installs vary wildly by property
A like-for-like swap is two days. A system-conversion is five. MarginPal tracks parts, accessories and labour against your quoted estimate so you know which install types deserve the rate you charge.
An AI that knows what kind of gas job you're on.
Every job in MarginPal has a type — boiler install, service, breakdown, CP12. The AI insights (Business tier) use that to comment in plain English on what's normal for that type, what's drifting, and where you should price differently next time.

Questions gas engineers ask.
Can I run annual services as repeat customers?
Yes. Set up each homeowner as a customer, create a job each time you visit for the annual service, and the per-customer history builds up over time. Useful for spotting which boilers are eating your margin year after year.
How do I price emergency callouts differently from booked work?
Every quote is per-job, so callout pricing is whatever you set. The AI insights take job type into account when commenting on margin patterns — so emergency margin gets compared against emergency, not against booked installs.
How does it handle landlord gas safety certificates (CP12s)?
Treat each CP12 like a small job — set the quote at your inspection fee, log any parts you fitted as expenses, and you get a per-CP12 margin. Useful for spotting which letting agents pay enough to be worth the time.
