National Reach, Homeowner Ease of Mind Highlight QuoteScore’s Launch

Are you confused by your HVAC quote? You’re not alone. Over 90% of homeowners don’t understand their heating and cooling estimates. QuoteScore, HVAC.com’s recently launched quote-scoring tool, solves that problem. Designed to demystify HVAC quotes and ensure you’re receiving a fair deal, QuoteScore scores your quote and tells you what’s good, what’s not, and recommends clear next steps.

Within weeks of its launch, QuoteScore’s team of independent HVAC industry insiders has analyzed several millions of dollars in quotes, allowing hundreds of homeowners to understand if the proposal is fair and buy with confidence.

Andrew Ip, CEO of HVAC.com, said. “With QuoteScore, our goal is to simplify this complex process and help homeowners understand their quotes. The intricacies of HVAC make it challenging for even experienced homeowners to grasp, making it difficult to know if you’re getting a fair deal. QuoteScore provides greater transparency, so homeowners are armed with clear information for a more fruitful discussion with their HVAC contractor.”

Uploading Your HVAC Quote Is Simple

QuoteScore is easy to use – simply share your HVAC quote in under a minute. When you receive an HVAC replacement quote, visit the QuoteScore page on HVAC.com and upload a photo or PDF file of your complete estimate. Include any essential notes or details, such as your heating and cooling concerns, specific requirements, or feedback from contractors. This information will assist QuoteScore’s team in accurately evaluating your quote.

QuoteScore Analyzes, Translates, and Recommends

A first-of-its-kind service, QuoteScore, currently a free beta, uses a team of independent HVAC industry insiders who thoroughly review every HVAC quote from top to bottom. 

QuoteScore goes beyond a mere analysis; its HVAC professionals decode every quote for pricing, system sizing, energy-efficiency ratings, industry best practices, and more. It translates industry jargon into plain language so you don’t feel lost. From there, your QuoteScore report provides clear recommendations for next steps based on “good,” “caution,” and “stop” ratings.

“Your QuoteScore report will tell you what’s missing, why it’s important, and here’s what you should do next,” said Matt Triplett, Head of Product at HVAC.com. “We’re arming the consumer with the ability to ask educated questions.”

Homeowners: QuoteScore Provides “Ease of Mind,” “Reassurance”

Homeowners say their QuoteScore reports provide ease of mind and reassurance to help them successfully navigate the HVAC buying process.

One homeowner, for example, received an HVAC quote for $17,000 to replace a furnace and air conditioning system. QuoteScore gave the quote a “stop” score, helping the customer avoid overpaying by thousands of dollars.

QuoteScore has also provided countless homeowners with the confidence to move forward with their HVAC quotes after receiving a “good” rating. For example, a homeowner submitted a quote to QuoteScore for a 3-ton heat pump and air handler, which we scored as overpriced, giving it a “caution” rating. A few days later, they submitted another quote with the same dealer for the exact same equipment, and the new price was 20% less. QuoteScore evaluated this second quote and gave it a “good” rating, providing the homeowner confidence to proceed with the more affordable purchase.
