Powerges alternative: Instalvo and Powerges compared
Powerges, by RVC in Fernelmont, manages technical interventions for heating and HVAC companies. Instalvo is newer and built for the same trades. Here is how the two compare, using RVC’s own published information.
Before you read the table
Instalvo is in development and opens to pilot companies first. The Instalvo column describes what the product is being built to do. The Powerges column only repeats what Powerges says on its own website, read on 14 October 2026. Where their site says nothing, the table says so rather than guessing.

What Powerges is
Powerges is made by RVC SA in Fernelmont. Its website presents it as a solution for managing technical interventions in heating and HVAC: customers and sites, quotes, maintenance contracts, planning, work orders on tablet, certificates, refrigerant tracking, invoicing and stock. The site does not say how the software is delivered or which systems it runs on.
Where Instalvo is different
- Instalvo runs in the cloud with an app on the technician’s phone: no Windows PC to maintain at the office and no shared folder to keep in sync.
- The app is made for the phone the technician already carries, on iOS and Android, and works offline.
- Invoices go out over Peppol as part of invoicing itself.
- An interface in English as well as French and Dutch, for teams that do not all share one language.
When Powerges may suit you better
- You need certificates for all three regions, and for France, today.
- You want analyser readings over Bluetooth today, rather than when Instalvo’s Testo connection arrives.
- You rent out equipment or track refrigerants and want that in the same tool.
- You want a product already in daily use, rather than one in development.
