Product
Problem
HVAC installers face challenges in efficiently planning and selling heat pumps due to the complexity of assessing numerous house data points, leading to potential system mis-sizing and inaccurate proposals. Traditional methods are time-consuming and require experienced personnel, increasing operational costs and the risk of customer dissatisfaction. Additionally, office work in trades businesses is fragmented across multiple tools, causing media breaks, lost leads, and hours of manual data transfer.
Solution
Autarc provides an AI-powered software platform that unifies office management, planning, and on-site work for HVAC and solar installers in a single application. The platform enables users to quickly assess over 600 relevant house data points in approximately 15 minutes using LiDAR scanning and AI-driven data acquisition, reducing the risk of improperly sized systems. Autarc automates heating load calculations, sound emission analysis, hydraulic balancing, and PV planning including module layout and shading analysis. The integrated AI telephone answers customer calls around the clock, captures inquiries, and routes them to the correct project. A customer portal keeps clients informed about project status, while a field app allows technicians to document progress and create acceptance reports, even offline.
Target Audience
Primary users are small and medium-sized HVAC installers, heating contractors, solar and electrical installers, and energy consultants who plan and install heat pumps and photovoltaic systems. The platform also serves trades businesses with multiple technicians or locations seeking a centralized solution for customer data, orders, and communication.
