The problem

Why HVAC estimates eat your evenings

Every changeout is a little different

Same tonnage, different job: a new pad, a longer line set, a disconnect that is not to code. Starting from a blank spreadsheet each time is where the evening goes.

Equipment prices move

Your distributor price on a 3-ton heat pump this month is not last spring's. Arez keeps the prices you teach it and uses them on the next quote.

The homeowner wants options

Good, better, best is how HVAC sells. Arez can lay out a standard and a high-efficiency option side by side in one estimate.

How Arez handles it

One sentence in, an itemized HVAC estimate out

You say“Swap a 3 ton heat pump and air handler in a single story house. Old unit comes out, new pad, 25 foot line set, smart thermostat. Phoenix.”
  1. Arez reads the job and tells you what it assumed: like-for-like 3 ton split system; existing ductwork stays; new disconnect and whip.
  2. It builds the estimate with your labor rate and your 20% markup. Labor is in hours, so it is easy to check.
  3. Change anything by saying it, then send it as a proposal the customer signs on their phone.

Questions

HVAC estimating app FAQ

Can Arez quote a full system changeout?

Yes. Describe the equipment, tonnage and what comes out, by voice or text, and Arez builds equipment, materials, labor hours, permit and disposal lines. You review and edit every line before anything is sent.

Will it use my equipment prices?

Yes. Correct a price once in an estimate or import your price list, and Arez uses your number on later quotes instead of a generic one.

Can I show good, better and best options?

Yes. Ask for options and Arez lays them out in the same estimate, each with its own total.

How is labor priced?

Labor lines are in hours at your saved HVAC labor rate. You can change the hours or the rate on any line.

How much does Arez cost?

Arez is free to download with a 7-day free trial. Plans are Starter $79, Professional $159 and Agency $259 per month.
