First thing you have to do is throw out your old companies pricing guide. They are pricing to cover massive overhead compared to what you have. They also have an endless stream of customers because they're marketing budget is probably huge and they are established. I'm not saying you shouldn't price it to make money but most people seek smaller companies to save money, if they are the same price as the big companies, they'll probably go with the big company.

Hey so sorry about your dad. Take the extra time to learn more about the pricing. Talking to the clients about how far off you were is a good idea, they likely won’t tell you exactly what it was but they may tell you in a ball park percentage area where your high. keep pricing make sure you are accounting for everything, make sure you shop the materials around and make sure you listen to her about the spending/billing and the quality time. It sucks at first but soon you’re going to be flat out.

When my Dad had his refrigeration business in the 80's he put very little markup on freon. He was busy every single day and retired very comfortably at 55. You don't need to make all the money right now, spread it out and it'll roll in

quote every job like you are doing the job.
Review all your quotes after you finish the job and see if you made money.
Review all you quotes on jobs you didn't get compare them to ones you did get.
You will get a system rocking soon.

Can’t price the job as your old company did. They have much more over head. You can price much cheaper
