Photo sequence
Use photos that explain the job, not just prove you were there.
Wide context, close detail, and a final result are usually more useful than several nearly identical pictures.
Before condition
Capture the problem, failed part, buildup, leak, or requested condition before work.
Work detail
Document a meaningful repair step, hidden condition, or replaced HVAC part.
Completed result
Use a comparable angle to show what changed and the final condition.
