A little clarity before a big purchase.

The problem we are working on

A replacement quote can be a big number with a small explanation. Brand names, equipment ratings and vague descriptions make it hard to see whether two installers are proposing the same job. We built the quote checker to make those gaps easier to discuss.

Useful before the database is big

You can compare your own written quotes today, without an account. The checker adds known costs and builds follow-up questions from the scope details you enter. It does not need a large pricing database to do that job.

We also maintain an early community project-price library. Coverage is limited and submissions are not independently verified. We do not claim nationwide representative pricing, guaranteed savings or professional inspections.

How the project is funded

Homeowner tools are free. Businesses can buy a one-time branded checklist kit to use with their customers. We also offer clearly labeled sponsorship pilots to businesses. Payment does not buy a favorable comparison, edit a submitted price or change our calculation. We do not sell quote-check entries to contractors.

How we write and maintain guides

Our guides focus on the homeowner's purchasing process. We link to primary sources for technical and incentive claims, distinguish examples from evidence, and show a review date. We are not a licensed HVAC contractor. Technical specifications, sizing and installation decisions need an appropriately qualified professional.
