Uploading a photo

Four tips for a photo the checker can read

  1. Fit the whole page

    Hold the phone straight above the quote so all four corners are in the frame.

  2. Use even light

    Daylight or a bright room works best. Avoid your own shadow across the page.

  3. Skip the glare

    Tilt the page slightly if a lamp or window reflects off glossy paper.

  4. Add every page

    Totals, warranty terms and exclusions often sit on page two. Add up to three images.

Questions about reading a quote

What should I tick if a line in my quote is vague?

Leave it unticked. Only tick an item when the quote clearly says it is included. A vague line becomes a question to ask, which is the point.

What is a load calculation, and why does it matter?

It is a room-by-room estimate of how much heating and cooling your home needs, usually called Manual J. Without one, the system size is often a guess based on square footage.

What do SEER2 and HSPF2 mean on my quote?

They are efficiency ratings: SEER2 for cooling, HSPF2 for heat pump heating. Higher is more efficient. Check that the rating on the quote matches the exact model numbers listed.
