AutoHVAC uses computer vision and large language models trained on thousands of professional Manual J calculations to ingest residential blueprints, detect rooms, windows, and envelope components, and generate a full Manual J 8th Edition load report with room-by-room breakdowns and recommended equipment sizes. Contractors upload a PDF or image of plans, enter a ZIP code, and receive a code-compliant report in roughly 60 seconds, collapsing a process that traditionally takes hours of data entry in legacy desktop tools.
The platform follows ACCA Manual J 8th Edition procedures and is marketed as permit-ready. While AutoHVAC's core value is speed, it also supports mobile workflows so field sales reps and technicians can run load calcs in the home during an estimate rather than back at the office. The product ships with a free first report and a straightforward month-to-month subscription, designed to remove the upfront cost and training friction that make Wrightsoft-class tools hard to adopt in small shops.
Pricing is aggressive: AutoHVAC is $47/month all-in, with no setup fees or training costs, versus a true monthly cost of roughly $487 for Wrightsoft once setup, training, and annual extras are included. The AutoHVAC team blends HVAC field veterans (technicians, engineers, and installers) with machine learning engineers, explicitly targeting residential replacement contractors and new-construction HVAC designers who want defensible loads without a desktop installation or multi-day training class.
