For HVAC contractors currently on QuoteIQ

Switching from QuoteIQ?Unlimited HVAC voice. No credit meter.

QuoteIQ is a legit multi-trade contractor tool with a robust AI stack — Autopilot, CoPilot, AI Estimator, and a Virtual Call Team. But if you run an HVAC shop, two things trip you up: the monthly IQ Credits ceiling that meters all of it, and a vocabulary trained across every trade instead of tuned for AHRI numbers, refrigerant types, and EPA 608 dispositions.

Free tier is 3 documents per month, forever. Pro is $29/month for unlimited.

Why HVAC shops are switching

Three patterns we hear from QuoteIQ customers

These are the three most common reasons shops on QuoteIQ tell us they want a different tool for HVAC-specific document work.

The IQ Credits meter

QuoteIQ's AI features (Autopilot, CoPilot, Estimator, Virtual Call Team) all draw from one monthly IQ Credits pool — 500 credits on Essentials, up to 8,000 on Max. AI voice commands, AI-drafted estimate lines, and virtual receptionist minutes (125 credits per minute) all consume from the same bucket. Busy months you hit the wall and either pay $1/credit for top-ups, upgrade to the next tier, or wait for the meter to reset. AskWoody Pro has no credit meter — voice and AI are unlimited on every paid tier.

Multi-trade vocabulary

QuoteIQ's voice AI is trained across trades — plumbing, electrical, roofing, HVAC, landscaping. That means when you say "R-410A" or "AHRI 12345678" or "18 SEER2 heat pump," you have to slow down, spell it out, correct it, or type it. AskWoody Pro's parsing is tuned specifically for HVAC vocabulary: equipment brands, refrigerant types, AHRI references, capacity numbers, and EPA 608 dispositions.

No AHRI auto-fill or refrigerant tracking

QuoteIQ has no HVAC-directory integration — you type in equipment specs by hand or copy-paste from a spec sheet. And there's no built-in refrigerant tracking, so EPA §608 recordkeeping happens on a separate paper log or spreadsheet. AskWoody Pro pulls AHRI-matched specs from a model number and captures refrigerant charge, disposition, and technician cert type inside every service order.

Less money. More HVAC.

Beyond the price

Three things QuoteIQ doesn't build for HVAC

Cheaper would be enough on its own. These are what makes it HVAC-specific.

AHRI equipment auto-fill

Paste an AHRI certificate number or an outdoor-unit model number. AskWoody Pro looks up the matched-pair specs — SEER2, EER2, HSPF2, capacity, indoor coil — and pre-fills every equipment field on your bid. QuoteIQ has no HVAC-directory integration; you type them in by hand.

EPA 608 refrigerant tracking built in

Every service order captures refrigerant type, quantity added, quantity recovered, and technician EPA cert type — the exact fields §608 recordkeeping requires. Exportable at any time. QuoteIQ doesn't track refrigerant handling; you keep a separate paper log or spreadsheet.

HVAC voice on every tier — no credit meter

Voice narration for description of work, notes for customer, load-calc dictation — unlimited on Free and Pro. QuoteIQ meters ALL AI usage (voice, CoPilot chat, Autopilot commands, Virtual Call Team at 125 credits/min) against monthly IQ Credits; heavier use forces a $1/credit top-up, tier upgrade, or a wait for the meter to reset.

The switch

Two steps. Under 60 seconds.

You do not need to migrate a customer database to get value from AskWoody Pro. Most shops use us for HVAC document work alongside whatever they use for scheduling and CRM.

1

Create a free account

Google sign-in or email. No credit card. Verify your business name and license number (voluntary — used only on your PDF letterhead). Your first three documents this month are on the Free tier.

2

Voice your first bid

Tap the mic, talk through the job the way you would to a helper — equipment, capacity, refrigerant, install specifics. AskWoody parses it into a structured System Replacement Bid with AHRI-matched specs, EPA 608 fields, and a branded PDF ready to send.

Your data stays yours

Documents, customer records, and equipment history are yours to export as PDF or JSON anytime. We don't sell data or use it for training.

No trial timer

Free tier is genuinely free forever — 3 documents per month, no credit card, no 14-day countdown. Upgrade only when your volume needs it.

Built by an HVAC pro

AskWoody Pro is shaped by 30 years of hands-on HVAC installation and service work. The vocabulary, the AHRI logic, the EPA 608 tracking — all built by someone who's been on the job.

Questions before you switch

Do I need to cancel my QuoteIQ account before signing up?+
No. Nothing about creating an AskWoody Pro account touches your QuoteIQ setup. Most shops run both during a comparison period — send a few real bids through each and pick whichever produces better paperwork and less friction.
Does AskWoody Pro replace QuoteIQ's dispatching and scheduling?+
No — AskWoody Pro is not a field-service management platform. There is no dispatch board, no route optimization, no crew scheduling. If those are core to your operation, keep using the tool that does them well and add AskWoody Pro for HVAC-specific document creation (bids, service orders, invoices, refrigerant logs).
What does "no credit meter" actually mean?+
Every voice-narrated bid, every AI-drafted description of work, every Load Calculator run counts as one document (or zero, depending on where it happens in the flow). On the Free tier you get 3 documents per month, forever. On the Pro tier ($29/month) documents are unlimited. There is no separate AI usage cap, no per-command credit, no per-minute charge on virtual call features, no metering beyond the document count. Compare to QuoteIQ: their Essentials tier ($29.99/mo monthly, $25/mo annual) caps AI at 500 IQ Credits — voice, CoPilot chat, Autopilot commands, and Virtual Call Team (125 credits/minute) all draw from that same pool.
What HVAC vocabulary specifically is AskWoody Pro tuned for?+
Common equipment brands (Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Bryant, Goodman, Amana, York, American Standard, Bosch, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Daikin), refrigerant types (R-22, R-410A, R-32, R-454B), efficiency metrics (SEER2, EER2, HSPF2, AFUE, HSPF), AHRI reference-number format, EPA 608 disposition codes, DOE regional minimums, and the equipment nomenclature real installers actually speak.
What if AskWoody Pro parses my voice narration wrong?+
Every parsed field is editable before you save. Voice is a first-draft tool — it gets you 90% of the way there, then you fix the last 10% by tapping and typing. If parsing consistently misses something we should have caught, tell us and we retrain.
Can I import customer records from QuoteIQ?+
Not automatically today. QuoteIQ does not publish a customer-export API. Most shops rebuild their customer list organically — new customers are added as you do work with them, which takes about 20 seconds per record via voice or manual entry.
How does QuoteIQ AI CoPilot compare to AskWoody Pro voice?+
QuoteIQ CoPilot is a chat-based AI that lives inside the estimate and invoice editors — type or dictate commands like "add a 3-ton condenser at $2,400" or "apply 10% discount" and CoPilot edits the document. Powerful, and it executes directly on the quote you're working on. Every command consumes IQ Credits from your monthly pool. AskWoody Pro is voice-first for the entire document flow: talk through the whole job (equipment, capacity, refrigerant, install specifics), AskWoody parses into a structured System Replacement Bid with AHRI-matched specs and EPA 608 fields — no per-command metering. Different orientations: QuoteIQ CoPilot = credit-metered surgical edits, AskWoody Pro = unlimited whole-document HVAC voice narration.
Does QuoteIQ have QuickBooks integration?+
Yes — but only on Pro tier and above ($125/mo annual, $149.99/mo monthly). Essentials and Beginner tiers do not include QuickBooks Integration. AskWoody Pro exports invoice data in QuickBooks-compatible formats (CSV and IIF) on all paid tiers. If real-time QuickBooks sync at the Essentials price point matters, that is a QuoteIQ comparison worth thinking through explicitly.
What happens if I need dispatching later?+
Add a dedicated FSM tool alongside AskWoody Pro. Housecall Pro (Basic $59/mo annual, Essentials $149/mo annual), Jobber (Core $29/mo annual), or ServiceTitan for larger shops. AskWoody Pro plays well next to any of them — we handle the HVAC-specific bid and refrigerant work; they handle the schedule board.
