BUILT FOR HVAC PROFESSIONALS Designed from scratch for techs in the field: large buttons you can tap with gloves on, fast calculations in the basement, and professional reports that win homeowner trust.

THREE LEVELS OF ACCURACY Simple Mode Sized from your ZIP code's design conditions and the home's floor area. Get an estimate in under 60 seconds with zero measurements. Perfect for quick quotes and initial sales conversations.

Moderate Mode – Standard Accuracy (Whole-House Block Load) Component-level factors: insulation quality, window types, foundation. The sweet spot for standard replacement jobs.

Pro Mode – Professional Grade (Detailed Whole-House Block Load) Full MJ8 detail: per-direction window solar, measured airtightness, window ratings, overhang shading, and duct analysis. Maximizes equipment life and comfort — often right-sizing by 1+ ton. Best for new construction, high-performance builds, and detailed equipment sizing.

MEASURE ROOMS WITH LiDAR — NEW On LiDAR-equipped iPhone and iPad Pro models (iOS 16+), walk each room and the app measures it for you — floor area, ceiling heights, windows, and exterior walls flow straight into your load calculation. Review each room, adjust with a tap, apply. Your PDF now includes a Room Measurements chapter with a sketch of each scanned room.
