← Contractor Quote AuditorWhat to check on the estimate
- Exact model number for every major component
- Whether it is base or upgraded trim
- Efficiency rating or performance spec
- Substitution policy if the model is unavailable
- Warranty terms tied to that model
- Serial number recorded at install
Questions worth asking
- What exact model number is being installed?
- Is that the base model or an upgraded trim level?
- What efficiency or performance rating does it carry?
- If it is unavailable, what will you substitute and at what price?
- What warranty comes with that specific model?
- Will the serial number be recorded on my invoice?

Paste or upload the estimate. The free scan lists the sections it found, the sections that look missing or unclear, and a question list you can send to the contractor. It does not tell you whether a price is fair, because that is not something a document review can answer.

Why not just trust the brand name?
Brands sell wide ranges. Two quotes naming the same brand can differ by years of warranty and a meaningful amount of money.
What if the model changes before install?
That is common. Ask for a written substitution policy of equal-or-better spec at no price increase.
